Crossed to Lucaya, Grand Bahama





We crossed from Ft Lauderdale to Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island, on Wednesday night arriving at 7:00AM Thursday morning. The crossing was uneventful except several hours of a bumpier ride than was forecasted. Its a good thing we crossed because a cold front has moved in and another crossing would not be possible, as we consider possible, for at least a week. There is a huge fishing tournament scheduled for this weekend. Dozens of boats are not here yet; sport fisherman have a different view of "possible" so it'll be interesting to see how many get here.

We are staying for a month at the Grand Bahama Yacht Club at Lucayan Marina Village. This is one of best, if not the nicest, marinas in the Bahamas.
Some pictures:
(1) This fish tried to hitchhike with us; not a good idea (for the fish)
(2) The new bar and grill at the pool. The hamburgers are as good as ever.
(3) The pool, in the backgound the new Yacht Club Clubhouse
(4) The new entrance to the marina from the land side.

Can I retire and just move on to the boat with you? I am a pretty handy crew member (I was trained well) and I can even cook. I promise I won't take up much room and I doubt my family would miss me at all...
