We Meet At Last

Hi F&F
Up bright and early today.Another lovely day and we are off to catch up with our friends Bill and Nancy, Roger and Linda. They are sitting at Marsh Harbor awaiting our arrival this afternoon.
Roy ,our wonderful dock man came down to wish us well and present us with a RoyHama T shirt as a memento easy and pleasant journey down to Man O War Cay for some fuel and lunch at the Dine and Dock.This was something Nancy (who had faithfully sent encouraging emails every day) had recommended we do. We entered the little settlement of Man O War and tied up at the at fuel dock which also worked as our lunch dock.We went off down the Main Street with its little home handicraft stores selling jewelry, bags , table linens etc. We passed the Albury boat yards.They are famous for building the local Bahamian run about boats.Also have a sail making business.
At the end of the street, was a fun little store with three cheerful older ladies all sitting at their sewing machines making bags of very shape and size. Help your self to the tea, coffee and handmade cake out on the verandah , they said.Good way to get business I am thinking! Their homemade orange cake was to die for! Of course I had to buy a bag now! A nice bright blue one with a strong zipper to carry my camera around in when in the dingy.
Back to Dine and Dock for lunch.More grilled fresh MahiMahi ( are we getting healthy or what!)
Then off to Marsh Harbor a short 1/2 hour ride across the bay. all hands were on deck or rather dock,as we arrived.Great to finally get together. we set off for the town's big supermarket for some fresh produce.Streets were very dusty and lots of cars driving of course on the left hand side to watch out for.The supermarket really did have everything including lovely fresh bananas .Thursday is the day the fresh shipment comes over from Florida. We had timed it well as it seems.
Later it was cocktails on Lady Erica and toasts , followed by dinner over the road at Wally's Restaurant. We sat out on the verandah and watched the sun going down.Now this picture felt complete.Thank you Lord!.
Over and Out,can
