Well OK so for most of you reading this blog at this time calling 63F cold would be laughable if that emotion is still possible when discussing the weather this winter. We've decided to stay in Man o' War on a mooring as tonight the forecast is for thunderstorms and 25-35 mph winds. We went ashore again while we still have the opportunity and went looking for Lola's bakery but it looked like a home. We asked a guy in the cemetery and he said Lola had stopped baking as she was too old and losing her memory. You see a lot of old people in the Abacos either they live longer in this climate and the slow pace of life or it attracts retirees (ooh that would be me).
Carried on to the beach. The sand is soft and leaves a footprint about an inch deep. I was a little worried about the current so I watched the patches of weed and they didn't seem to move faster than I can snorkel so I went in. A few places where there were fish but it would have been disappointing if wasn't for two fish that swam either side of me. They were white with long flowing dorsal fins. My best guess is that they were polameta, a member of the Jack family it says in my book obviously a very close family.
Phil says they are forecasting hurricane force winds in the UK. Kind of ironic that he should have to worry about hurricanes back home when we're in the Caribbean. Catherine says they are forecasting 10" of snow and ice back in Maryland and Pete and Terry say they are traveling through the worst snow and ice storms ever seen in GA and SC.
Beginning to feel a little guilty. Maybe I'll go out on deck in the 18 mph winds and raise a glass to you all. It's sunny and 80F btw.
