Last night, Paula woke up when the wind picked up and checked the lines.
She noticed we had been sent a text written around 10pm (we old people were already asleep by then) from the couple we met at Cambridge Cay who were volunteering their time there to support the Land and Sea Park, Chuck & Carmen. This was the couple in the pirate outfits we featured in the Day 64 post.
They wanted to thank us for a good mention we had given Cambridge and their excellent assistance as mooring field hosts in Active Captain. They added that they had docked at Palm Cay for one night and planned to leave for Chub Cay in the morning. They asked about where in the Bahamas we were! We were able to reply that we were one pier over. We got together this morning for coffee and had a wonderful visit with them before they had to leave. They live on their catamaran (featured picture) and were heading back to Florida. It was a nice treat to see them and strengthen another friendship.
It was another day of clouds and periods of rain, and we spent time inside cleaning, baking and otherwise preparing for Glennis’ arrival.
A short trip to the grocery store in the afternoon got us all stocked up for the next week. We then made our way to the airport where Glennis’ plane arrived right on time. We made it back to the marina in time to have a nice dinner at the restaurant.
Looking ahead some after Glennis’ visit, we will take advantage of the first weather window to make our way to an anchorage on the western end of New Providence Island. Then we plan to cross over to Andros Island and wait for a good 48 hour weather window to make a long passage all the way to Palm Beach, Florida (Lake Worth).

GLENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Auntie K!!!! Loooove you and miss you!!
glenny & mommy look great. so glad she had this opportunity to visit. A few words about Lake Worth. You can see their smoke stacks quite a way off. I think there were 4 and they were candy striped (in the olden days). Also there is a great deal of current in the entrance and around Singer Island. I remember going into the marina and having to make several passes at the slip due to the currents. All the others in the marina had their boat hooks out but I made it without incident.
Yes – we experienced the current when we were there in early February. It was partly for that reason we chose to anchor south of the inlet rather than try any of the nearby marinas. Good to know we’ll be able to see smoke stacks from a ways off.
