This is our 3rd day at Old Bahama Bay Marina,
if the weather forecast holds, we will leave here Wednesday for the Abacos. Hurricane Mathew left extensive damage across
the islands, the marina buildings have power, but power at the boat slips is
not available. We have to run our
generator for a couple of hours a day to keep the batteries charged.
We spent our first day snorkeling along the beach near
the marina.
Then spent the afternoon relaxing at the shore.
We worked on “Rascals Retreat’s” generator with “The
Lower Place” and were able to get it up
and running. They wanted to do something
for us for helping them so they rented a 6 passenger van Saturday to take
everyone to Freeport and Lucaya. We
stopped at the Ocean Reef Marina and met Randy from “Priorities”. We met them when they were starting their
loop in 2014 when we were wana-be-loopers.
Of course we had to stop at the Marketplace before heading back to West
End.
The wind picked up today and by afternoon we had 27 mph
sustained winds. We’re glad we are tied securely
in a protected marina, possible severe thunderstorms are supposed to roll
through after midnight.
We had another fun day hanging out at the marina and beach.

Looking good, we had 40 to 50 mile per hour winds rain but we need more. Part of loose fence went down. Other wise we slept good. Marla was worryed Dean said she put cats in the closet. Stay safe, mommy
Storms blasted through here about 3:30 a.m. but we held to the dock. Steady 30+ mph winds all day today but 2 mph Wednesday morning 😁
