Bahamas

Yesterday we left the beautiful Emerald Bay Marina. We were sad to leave the wonderful hot showers but very excited to leave the surgey marina. We motor sailed 40 miles with extremely calm seas and no wind. We made it to Black Point by 4:00 that afternoon. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the famous Lorraine's cafe. (Fried Grouper and the fixins) Black Point is the largest village in the Exmas after Great Exuma, a very clean, nice settlement. [N24d06:206, W076d24:263]

We awoke at our 6:20 alarm clock to hear our weather report. Chris told us all about Subtropical storm "Andrea" (how appropriate). We wanted to assure you we are feeling no affects of this storm. In fact it is dead calm. We left the beautiful harbor of Black Point at 8:00 am. We motor sailed to Warderwick Wells, one of our favorite spots in the Bahamas. We had no wind at first, then we had a nasty squall with 30 knots. Thank goodness that passed and we made it into the South harbor where we are very excited about being the only boat in the harbor. The squalls seem to be gone for now and it is another beautiful day in paradise. We will stay here a few days and let Andrea pass by and then head west.

We want to wish everyone (who is a mother) a happy Mothers day this Sunday!

Love, Michele and Glenn
