| First trip to the Bahamas - January 22, 2008 |
| Hi Today is Jan. 22nd, our 34th day out from Cortez on the Dulcinea, and 12th day in the Bahamas. WE are in the Bay of 5 Pirates. Since arriving in the Bahamas, we have spent seven nights anchored out on our own, and 4 nights is marinas, 2 marina nights in Bimini Blue Water Marina and 2 marina nights here at Great Harbour Key in the Berry Islands where we have waited out the norther. We plan to leave this AM and head for the Aboco Is;ands. First,we will hike out to gain limited Internet access to send this. Here are some pictures from Bimini, (where we cleared customs) and the Berry Islands. The first picture of the pool and hibicus is Bimini. The Dulcinea is right under the palm tree. Boy, was I impressed that the marina had a fresh water pool. Next, Don checking our anchor at Chub Key after the winds shifted. Then there is a super neat wreck we found; |
| conch fishermen; Don in a real tiny bar with sand as a floor and bras & underwear hanging from the ceiling. Then we entered the Bay of the 5 Pirates. The entrance to this bay had been dynamited out of the limestone, you can see the cut ..the next picture shows the brightly painted concrete pilings as seen from our cockpit. This second pool picture also includes the Dulcinea's sails in the background right in the middle. The marina is right next door to this pool. There is a picture of a friend I made at the laundry who literally stopped her own laundry to drive us to town and back, The people are really unbelievable friendly and helpful. I added a picture of a conch shell pile, these piles are everywhere; and a few anniversary pictures. I love the anniversary picture of the two of us. If you view all of these large screen you get some captions |
| Be warned that the computer has superimposed Chub Key sunset pictures I downloaded,that I have deleted and deleted and they are still there. Look at these when you feel very calm and centered....I am still learning the Photo Elements program, and there is a large learning curve..Ronnie, where are you when I need you? |
