A Big Move Today!

 Not.

 We moved from the Port Lucaya Marina over to the Grand Bahama Yacht Club. While the Port Lucaya Marina is right in the center of activity for the area, we get a better rate here so in the interest of saving some dollars we moved over. It was extremely convenient to stay there a couple of days to take care of fueling and checking in, but after that, moving over to Grand Bahama is a good deal. If you look at the GPS track I loaded you will see exactly where we are and it's a great spot. Bow in with a bit of a view off the aft deck where we can have dinner in privacy.

 By the way they have a fabulous swimming pool here, the WIFI seems a bit more stable, and we don't have all the arrogance of a Megayacht running its generator all the time to save dollars over the locally billed electricity rate.

 But we will miss the restaurants the locals hang out in at Port Lucaya while over there. Agave, was terrific place for a beverage and food. It was a Latin inspired fusion sort of place and the food was terrific. While we only had a couple of appetizers they were excellent. The calamari was tender and well spiced as was the shrimp bruscetta. Their margaritas were very good also and I recommend their Golden Cadillac. Since it was happy hour they were half price and well worth the expense.
 The real loss at hands of the economy at the Port of Lucaya was Jade. They did excellent sushi and rolls. Alas, they are also gone now another sign of the times.

 Anyway here we will remain until what looks like Sunday when the tide and winds align to allow us a good traversal of Dover Sound. The North end of the Grand Lucayan Waterway is not to be taken lightly. Anyone with expensive running gear (most boats) will want to ensure that if they pull 4 feet of water, they had better time their arrival for a rising tide or at least high tide. Given all of the work we invested in this past stay at Indiantown we are hesitant to risk it even having passed through that area at mid-tide.

 It isn't all that bad though. I've added some photos to the bucket outlining what happens here once in a while. It seems they had some photo work to do down here. Someone rented a boat and said if you want photos of this girl you will have to pay. Believe me, who ever sponsored this shoot paid. And big time. And they got ripped off. Up close she wasn't all that much to look at.

 Stay tuned, we'll be on the move again soon enough.
