HEADS "UP"....OR IN THIS CASE "DOWN"

Don't know what is up with the head AGAIN but it seems to be down AGAIN! We made three attempts at emptying the holding tank yesterday on our trip from Bimini to Andros to no avail! It is a really bad thing when the head is out of order for us girls.....not so bad for the boys! If you were reading our blog last year you will remember on Mother's Day CTM gave me the best Mother's Day present he could have.....he crawled in the engine compartment and tore the whole thing apart and repaired it. Well, looks like my Mother's Day gift is decided upon once again. Stay tuned for the continuing saga.....

We made the 120+ mile run from Bimini to Andros yesterday. We are in a little settlement called Fresh Creek. It is a pretty cool place....what I like to call the "real" Bahamas! The winds were fairly calm yesterday and we had a good run until the last 20 miles or so after hitting the Tongue of the Ocean. There were a few storms that fired up over the land that didn't affect us but the prevailing southeast wind did whip up on us a little at the end but all in all it was a good run. After we freshened up we headed over to the renowned Hanks to partake in one of his famous "Hanky Pankys." Lot of rum and other unknown ingredients! Delish!!!! We dined on fresh grouper and cracked conch and a good time was had by all.

This morning we are up and are taking the day off from fishing and going to explore the island and look for some fresh conch salad. So....we're off! Catch you on the flip flop!

  1. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you (perhaps not for Tim) .... Could it be the Bermuda Triangle syndrome????

  2. Hey CJM,

    This "head" thing reminds me of the time last fall when there was a plunger outside your hotel room door -- you remember, the Marriott, in Columbia -- and Pinky strolled by. Is this the same kind of thing?

    Just a curious friend,
