Happy New Year
08 January 2012 | Abacos Bahamas
No wind and lots of sunshine!
We have a lovely New Years in Hopetown, and we managed to stay awake for the fireworks at midnight...thanks to a long nap in the afternoon.
Almost everything is working properly on the boat, and we're anchored out in the Sea of Abaco relaxing onboard and waiting to finalize (somewhat) our land purchase agreement. Not at all easy to do, thanks to international banking rules, and local Bahamian regulations. It turns out that all US funds transferred to the Bahamas must go via New York. So it's been difficult for the RBC to move funds south correctly. Third try lucky?
We're meeting with a local architect tomorrow in Hopetown, and then hope to wander asap, although we may delay things until the property issues are all resolved and that will let us get together with friends who are arriving shortly.
Poor internet at the moment, so photos will follow..
Keep warm!
