Great Harbour Cay
Thinking today might be our last opportunity to get ashore in The Bahamas, we were moving early. Barry and I left Crossroads as Glenda, Greg, Jaxon, and Cooper departed Paradigm Shift. Our destination was the government dock which would be our hopping-off point for a walk to the grocery store. The girls went inside while all the boys waited outside. This store was great. We checked off most of our lists and even found a few unexpected favorites. Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries remain elusive and are at the top of our lists for when we arrive in Charleston. We carried our bags back to the dock and got a kick out of Cooper wanting to tangle with a rooster. Glenda's firm grip kept him safe, even as he gave a stiff pull on the leash. Back to the boats we went to pack away our purchases. Not long thereafter, Glenda and Greg picked us up for a lunch run. We walked from the marina up to The Beach Club and celebrated our arrival with beverages. Cheers. The boys had Kaliks and the girls had more colorful concoctions. Once more, the food here was great. We shared ups and downs, highs and lows as only dear friends can. The view from our table made the afternoon even more special.
A small curly-tailed lizard grabbed my attention as he attempted to eat a potato chip under the table next to us. I took a dozen pictures of him so felt compelled to include one tonight. On the way back to the dinghy dock we stopped for ice cream. Each couple got a pint and two wooden spoons and made quick work before it melted. Back on the mothership by 4:00, I moved to Fiberglass Beach to finish my latest book. The wind began to pick up and the clouds thickened by sunset. If the forecast holds true, we will staying onboard all day tomorrow. Truth is, we all can use the rest. We've done a lot of walking the past few days. Time to start preparing body, mind, and boat for the upcoming three-day trip to Charleston.
