BOATER'S NIGHTMARE!

When one is a boat owner, death is bad! Sinking is pretty bad! However the next one on the "bad" list is a non-functioning generator! This is TIME OUT right now. If we don't have a working generator, we don't boat any more. After two days of trying our best and with the best of the best in the anchorage, we have to say good-bye to the Exumas and head back to Nassau. Paul was on the phone with a mechanic there and he is on "standby" for us. The unfortunate part of no generator is we have to ration water (no watermaker now), we can't cook with the stove-top/microwave, we had to unplug a freezer, batteries are low. And a multitude of other inconveniences. This is a boater's nightmare! Once in Nassau at Palm Cay Resort we can plug in and have some conveniences we are accustomed to. 

Today, boys went snorkeling at the Thunderball Grotto at low, slack tide, went to Samson Cay during low tide and walked the sandbar and then headed over to Staniel Cay Yacht Club. At the Yacht Club they ate conch burger, delicious. Of course, they drank a Pina Colada again!


Last day in the Bahamas for these guys!!


Paul and son Matt, Samson Cay, low tide. Beautiful here!
