December 20th, 2017 Wednesday

Hello from sunny Bahamas all.  The weather this week has been delightful with light variable winds, plenty of sunshine and now rain.  We are still anchored in Man Jack Cay with boats coming and going.  There is about 24 boats in the cove at this time.  We have been working on the boat for the past week.  Our latest projects have been sand and varnish the Toe rails and the eyebrow (trim on the outside), repaint the 50’ and 100’ foot markers on the anchor chain, if a track guide on the mainsail and the main project is repairing a section of wood around one of the Port lights (window) in the aft stateroom.  The window is an on going project at this moment.  We had to remove the window, remove all the old damaged wood, fill and put in new pieces of Teak.  That’s where it is at this moment, we still need to sand, varnish on the inside and paint on the outside and replace the window.  Hopefully the window will go in this evening.   

With such great weather the water temp has been raising and I went for the first swim in clean, crystal clear water.  It was heavenly and very refreshing.  We will be going into Green Turtle and anchoring for a few days during Christmas and then head back over here next Tuesday.   So until then Happy Holidays, fair winds and happy sailing to all and to all a good night.
