Well it is hard to believe that the last time we did a post was on December 14th. The time has just flown by. We have now been in the Bahamas since about the middle of December, spending Christmas in Nassau and New Year's Eve in Staniel Cay. Staniel Cay is apparently where Johnny Depp appears for Pirate Days and where they made the James Bond movie Thunderball.
We have made it as far south as Georgetown, where our travelling companion Firecrest pulled out his boat to do some repairs to the bottom of his boat. The damage was worse than we thought and he will be leaving on Monday to Toronto to get needed parts for the boat. This seems to be the cheaper and quicker solution than to order parts and wait for them to get through the mail and customs. So we will hang around Georgetown for now, waiting for Dave to come back and then Pat can help with the repairs.
I had some good news last week, my mother and daughter have decided to come to Nassau for a week in the beginning of March to visit us so we will head up there once Dave's boat is repaired.

The marina on Paradise Island at Atlantis |
Atlantis - I think maybe this marina is a little out of our budget. |
The beach at Norman's Cay - not a soul there. |
Anchored off Norman's Cay - here you can get an $18 hamburger in Paradise. |
These guys sure were hungry. |
