Julie & Tracy Visit

Its been a dry spell on the blog, but not dry on Grand Bahama Island. First almost a week of high winds from various directions then three days of general rain. In all the years of coming to the Bahamas we have never seen three days of rain; usually its a shower, sun, shower.

Julie and Tracy arrived Sunday night with the usual air travel circumstances. Instead of 8 o'clock in the evening they got to the airport at 2 AM and , of course, Julies bag was not there. The bag was found by noon the next day, but not with any help from the airlines. The marina personnel and a very helpful taxi driver lead to success. To make their arrival even more fun a cold front has come through, and it is cool, but the natives consider it to be very cold and you will note in the pictures that all of us have windbreakers on.

Only two pictures today. (1) The four of us on the dock in front of DIXIE IV, (2) Off to the beach to Billy Joes's and conch salad. Tracy had never had conch before but enjoyed it.

Off on an Island drive tomorrow. Hopefully more interesting pictures tomorrow.
