Day 48

 

Well this morning, the wind finally laid down after a couple days of cloudy and windy weather. I was making some coffee for Jessica and she hollered from the cockpit, there is a rainbow. I answered with where? Jessica said it’s in the sky.  Well, I figured that, but I was wondering where in the sky the rainbow was located. Jessica pointed above the lighthouse and my eyes were open to a beautiful, beautiful rainbow. Then after lunch when the wind laid down enough, we put the big motor on the dinghy and rode over to Tahiti Beach and spent the afternoon chilling on the sandbar.  We talked to a family who had their house destroyed during hurricane Dorian in 2019 and we saw a swingset on the sandbar, but it was high tide so it was too deep of water to use the swings, but we are looking forward to going back in the days to come during low tide. Jessica spotted a palm tree for her infamous photo shoot, leaning against the palm tree with coconuts in hand. It’s such a small community out here that we have met a couple people either at the marina or in the Mooring field and then we see them again later on the sandbar or at the marina pool. It is such a joy to talk to American peoplle and hear their stories!  We went over to the marina pool and bought a piña colada for each of us which was the first fruity drink we have enjoyed together in the Bahamas. But when the waitress brought me the bill for $50 my jaw dropped! But at least we enjoyed swimming in the pool and playing with the local kiddos from the local street with the house with the wooden fence. Tonight we are grilling jerk chicken and okra from the local hole in the wall grocery store.
