As it the Sea God's were speaking directly to us, Mother Nature gave us a direct message that suggested we should stay in the Bahama's a bit longer as a major Nor'easter pumped major rain and high winds into the area and then stalled. Two fronts converged (like in The Perfect Storm) and we could not depart for the US. This sounds terrible, but Old Bahama Bay is not a bad place to "have to stay."Since our earlier visit here in December, the staff has done a marvelous job completing major repairs from last years hurricanes. This trip the restaurants were open serving marvelous food, the fuel prices were comparable to the US and the staff welcomed our return with open arms, a free t-shirt and we were also able to take in the infamous Full Moon Party down on the beach!
We met some wonderful folks during our eight days, many of whom we will certainly remain in contact with. We also had an opportunity to email and receive replies from other cruisers from previous visits to the marina....Zippidee Doo, Lazy Bone, Attitude, Lucky Peek and Tidepool. Memories of the times and places are always fun, but when you can continue to share the times with the people it's even better.
Thanks to everyone at Old Bahama Bay for making certain that our 2006 Cruise to the Bahamas was a tremendous success!
