Up early again, with our coffee and reading time. When Kevin came to work, Harold went and arranged to get a golf cart for the day. They deliver! It got here and we took off, following roads we had no idea where they went. I have only been on worse roads on the Southern Highway in Belize!! We did finally end up at the Bluff House on White Sound and had a lovely lunch of tasty appetizers and Kalik beer. 
We made our way back to New Plymouth and rode up and down their streets. We passed on the museum for $5 each, but visited the hardware store. We spent most of the way back in a storm. When we got back to the marina we headed straight to Pineapples. I was determined to have one of their huge, fancy frozen drinks before we left. We bellied up to the bar in between the other patrons. I had on the hat Becky gave me and soon the guy next to us asked us about Satellite Beach – I didn’t even remember that it was on the back of the hat! Not only does he keep his boat at the port, he went to Edgewood! Talk about a small world! 
We talked for a long time and have a huge number of people in common, including Jack, for those who knew him. He is a commercial agent in Orlando and we will probably see them again on Sunday in Great Guana. We talked for so long that we invited them to the boat. There could be business in the future. Charlie and his girlfriend Shannon were great – we had a good afternoon. When Charlie and Shannon left, Harold spoke to Renee, the lady of the 35’ sailboat across the dock from us whose husband is injured and bedridden and who has engine problems. We knew they had had people on the boat trying to work on it, but apparently there was a Bahamas time issue there. Harold volunteered to help and we went over to see what he could do. He was able to remove a faulty bolt, but she will have to get one from the hardware store in the morning. Our plan is to leave tomorrow and head for Baker’s Bay on Great Guana Cay to anchor out tomorrow. Tide is essential here, so it all hinges on the repairs on Renee’s boat and low tide! We have had a blast here and have not met an unfriendly soul!
Is there a Saturday night tomorrow? We could call in:)
