A few days in one place. And a very nice place it
is too. We are in Flying Fish Marina on Long Island. We came here because the
weather did not look good and we wanted a break. We have hired a car and had a
look around the island. It is very laid back. But we have had serious problems
with our electricity and Duncan has spent hours sorting it out again. He had the
help of an electrician today. So we have the fridges running again.
After a day or two of very calm seas, the wind
has come back and is blowing strong. It would be a challenge to get out of this
shallow bay against the wind and the waves, so we are staying put. Hoping to
leave tomorrow when the forecast looks better to go to Rhum Cay and then George
Town.
We met up with an American couple we knew in
Turkey three years ago. Frank and Taree on Vision. It was a surprise to all of
us. We had supper together last night to catch up on where we have been and
where we are going.
