We made it!
Yesterday we sailed away from Elizabeth Harbour, with our refrigeration working
- hallelujah J!!!
The day
before, we move Sea Change to a beautiful, peaceful cove called Little Crab
Cay, where the only other boat was “Temptress” – the captain of which is a
fridge expert (how lucky can you be?). Clark came over and with a little
soldering magic, he repaired the problem in 10 minutes. Then we spent the rest
of the evening chatting over snacks and drinks. Clark and his wife, Emily, are
probably the most interesting people we’ve met here so far – living full-time
on their boat, and bringing their many skills and talents to helping people in
the harbor with their various boat issues. Both are “retired” at 36 (him) and
31 (her). Are you jealous, yet?
Yesterday,
under a clear blue sky, and with 10 knots of wind, we had a leisurely trip
under full sail to our favourite up-scale harbour – Emerald Bay – about 4 hours
from Crab Cay (part sail, part motor). We celebrated with our first dinner at a
restaurant in 3 weeks, right by the infinity pool under the up-lit palm trees.
A lovely break from Marilyn’s home cooking (though my captain would say it’s
fine – but he knows what’s good for him).
Today we’re
enjoying a rainy day at the “cottage” – with thunder rolling in the background
and both of us engaged in neglected rainy day projects. Next stop, probably Cat
Island – new to us – in a couple of days.
