BY THE NUMBERS

Big goodbye to friends that flew back to Toronto this afternoon. The generator problem was fixed but then weather was not in our favour to travel anywhere. Thank goodness for Palm Cay Resort here with a beach and pool. Better than being stuck in downtown Nassau Harbour. Now that it is a goodbye to friends it is also a goodbye to the Bahamas. We leave early in the morning for Chub Cay, then Bimini and wait patiently for the big crossing of the Gulf Stream. Our bodies are here in Bahamas but our minds are in Ottawa, Canada already, homeward bound. Here is looking back to the last couple of months:

700
Nautical Miles travelled (1,295 km or 805 miles)

4
Snorkel excursions

24
Nights in marinas (not happy about that at all! 2012- we spent 6 nights in marinas)

3
Pizzas we ate at the Palm Cay Billfish restaurant

6
Pounds of hamburger was fried up for spaghetti sauce

225
Generator hours

69
Days in the Bahamas

34 
Days of overnight guests (all left snow and went back to snow!)

48
Toilet paper rolls were used!

4
Pork Loin roasts done in the crock pot with apple juice (delicious)

4
Champagne bottles were consumed


Champagne glasses broke

4
Liquid sunshine days


Grouper Fingers platters Paul and I shared at Staniel Cay Yacht Club

31
Kleenix boxes used

1400
Dollars in fuel since topped up in Key Biscayne, FL in January

2
Cases of beer on board?? ! ( think not, maybe a 1 should be in front of the 2)

5
Times Paul drove on the right side of the car on the left side of road here in bustling Nassau! Remember half of the cars here have steering wheel on left or right. Confusing when looking at a guy right beside you.

7
Days without a generator!

16
Hours Paul was trouble-shooting the generator by phone or text to a mechanic in Nassau

1
Time Shannon fell off the paddleboard trying to get parallel to Time Out to get off.

We have a six hour day travelling tomorrow but it looks good.



I am in the picture... see the reflection.
