Keep the cold up North eh?


Today I tried to locate a webcam for sale down here. No such luck. Perhaps when we get over to Marsh Harbour again we'll be able to locate one. Anything that comes over here is subject to duty and even Amazon.com refused to ship here. Besides it could take up to a month to get here. We've already heard some horror stories about mail. Oh well.. This would have made the skype calls much better and certainly more fun. If you skype and see daniel.a.mapes active give us a ping if you like. By the way it's free if you download the free software.
It's sort of like Vonage. In fact Nipper's who is a Vonage customer let's you call anywhere you want from their bar using their phone since it's that cheap. I think we pay something like 5 bucks a month to call (skype) anywhere in the states and it offers video conferencing to boot! The local calls to the Bahamas are more expensive. Go figure.
But in spite of the blustery weather today we walked to Tahiti Beach . This is where you see Deb. Just about all of this sand dissappears at high tide. Hopefully tomorrow the wind and cold abates and we can take the dink up to Hope Town to look around up there. Even though we were there earlier we did not walk around town at all.
We also managed (it was a real struggle with the cold) to get to the Abaco Inn for lunch. http://www.abacoinn.com/ We had to eat inside for a change. While the web site is a bit on the positive side the place has a fantastic setting and lunch there is a great experience with people snorkeling and surfing in the ocean just below the dining area. It was resonably priced and the food was good. But, the conch fritters at the Sea Spray were better.
