Mindy & Carl's Visit


Next – Mindy & Carl (Jeff’s brother who is married to my sister) came to visit for a week. We had a very good time with them. But then we always enjoy being around them – maybe beause we are doubly related – who knows.

Carl came with high hopes of catching lots of fish. That did not happen, we are sorry to say. Partly because of the weather, but mostly because we don’t know where the fish are and thirdly because we didn’t have the best weather while they were here. We had a couple of really rocky nights, strong winds and rain. But they are somewhat used to the motion of the boat and they were ok with it. But when the weather was good, it was good, just a little cool. At least we had enough sunshine for Mindy to get sunburned. We won’t tell you what parts got sunburned though!




We took them to Snappas for Thursday Night 'Rake & Scrape'. I believe they liked that! Bahamian music with a twist as well as limbo. Mindy thinks she would like to have a Rake & Scrape band at home.

We were able to take them down to Lynyard Cay for a day – we would have liked several days there, but the winds were from the wrong direction to do that. Mindy became a sea glass fanatic. I think she took home 20 lbs of sea glass, if she took home a pound!!!

We slid into the anchorage outside of Boat Harbour in time for them to catch their plane home, with little time to spare!
