Off The Boat For Lunch

Great Harbour Cay   

A cold front has kept us in Great Harbour Cay for over a week now. The current wind-driven waves between here and Charleston would make for a very sporty passage so we'll stay put until the sea state calms down. Meanwhile here, the island has blocked the wind and kept our anchorage comfortable. Last night was perfect sleeping weather with a nice breeze and chilly temperatures which brought the blanket back out of the drawer. I was up with the sun and got my workout, shower, and texts/phone calls completed just before it was time to leave for lunch. We met Glenda, Greg, Jaxon and Cooper at the Government Dock and walked a short distance up the hill to The Brown's Garden. Barry and I have fond memories of our dinner here two year's ago and were looking forward to a nice lunch treat. Ronnie, the owner and chef, met us on the patio and welcomed us for lunch. We ordered our meals and beverages then headed across the street to the large waterfront table. 

Sandra, our server, took great care of us while our food was being prepared. The sun was out and we were all excited to be off the boats and on land. As usual, we were just having fun being together. Our meals arrived and they were delicious. Brown's delivered again. Glenda, Barry and I all had the cracked lobster. Greg had the whole snapper. We all cleaned our plates. While the boys took care of the check, Glenda and I went back to the grocery store to see if there were any new arrivals. Still no yogurt or frozen blueberries, but I did get some tomatoes. We walked past a beautiful tree full of stunning yellow flowers on our way back to the dinghy dock. Jaxon was keeping his eyes on us while Cooper was doing his own thing.

It was 3:00 when we returned to Crossroads. I read outside for a little while until the wind picked up and the temperature fell. I moved inside and continued on my cleaning spree. Today's target area was the salon. I even polished the stainless on the bar stools. I got a vote of approval when Barry told me, "she looks good enough to sell." (Boater Fact: A boat never looks cleaner than the day she goes on the market.) That's not happening anytime soon, even though it looks as if tomorrow will have more cleaning weather. As we await the opportunity to depart The Bahamas when this crazy weather finally clears, we also look forward to returning to visit the many places we have yet to see.
