Harold repaired the metal coping on the swim platform and scraped the trim tabs and the lift strakes on the sides of the boat. I watched to make sure he was OK….Had to swim a couple of times just to keep my body temperature down! Since we left this morning, two small sailboats have moored on either side of us. When I think of all the angst I have about heavy seas and crossing the Gulf Stream, it makes me crazy that these people do it without a care in the world! Last job of the day is putting the dinghy up. We haven’t taken the motor off yet to store for crossing because the next couple of days are unsure. We both actually stayed awake for 2 DVD’s before turning in.

Day 25
We went back to town this morning to try to find the “bread lady” who rides around on a golf cart selling homemade Bahamas bread. No luck! The grocery stores don’t sell it – I guess they have some kind of anti-trust arrangement here…..But we got some parts we needed at the marine store and had lunch at Dock ‘n’ Dine before coming back to the boat to start on the repairs o’ the day. Before we came back, we stopped for an ice cream cone and while we were walking that off, bona fortuna, here is the bread lady! She only has cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls left, so we take one of each.
