LONG SLEEVES AND SOCKS!


Since we arrived in the Bahamas I've worn flipflops, swimsuits and the “going to shore shorts” but today I wore shoes and a long sleeve shirt AND socks!! It is only in the low 60's F (less than 20C) We are at a dock here in Samson Cay Marina. There is some bad weather here and we know now from experience book a marina well in advance if you plan to stay in one. We have so much laundry to do since the boys left (sheets, towels etc.). So a nice sheltered marina is what we got here at Samson. This marina is very close to Staniel Cay Marina but more secluded and no town. The water is .50 cents a gallon and the power is very expensive ($1.10 kw). We are “plugged in” to the marina but we are careful as if we are at home or like I say just like our son Ben after buying his first home, flicking off lights, cutting back the heat and not running his air conditioner.

We went to the Clubhouse for lunch and I loved the artwork so much I took pictures of them. I will post a couple of the shots.





It is always interesting of the different foliage here, as a beautiful small flower can grow in sand with such little rain. With all the rain we are having today and the next few days, I'm hoping even more flowers will be blooming in the next few days.

Full of blooms
