We left Man O’ War Cay on Friday, March 29th and sailed over to Marsh Harbor to await the arrival of our friends Don and Sue from Granville, OH. We anchored in the harbor until Tuesday, April 2nd and then went over to Mangoes Marina. This cruising thing is amazing. Everywhere we go, we run into other cruisers we have met in other places. It’s like long lost friends reuniting, sharing sea stories about places we’ve all been and what storm or crappy marina we’ve experienced. This time, we ran into Dwight and Carol from Toronto whom we haven’t seen in a month, and Joe and Joy from Cleveland whom we keep seeing in various places since we’ve been in the Bahamas. Joe and Joy introduced us to Dominoes (not the pizza). The game is very addictive. We didn’t do too badly for being newbies. The restaurant that we were playing in closed, but the owner said when we are done to just lock the door when we leave. Gotta love the Bahamas.
After Don and Sue arrived, we took them to the Jib Room at Marsh Harbor Marina, where we had a fantastic ribs dinner. Afterwards, helped along by a few vodka tonics, Peg took to the limbo pole and I decided to join the band for some rake and scrape on the saw. Don and Sue joined in also.

We’re going to stay in Marsh Harbor until Thursday, April 4th and then sail over to Hopetown for a few days. But first we need to resupply food, liquor, beer, wine (not necessarily in that order), and Don and I desperately need haircuts. Stay tuned for the continuing adventures of Dick and Peg/Marg.
