The past 10 days have been ideal weather with a soft eastern wind (great for sailing north-south) and warm temperatures...
Shaun returned to Canada (Ottawa/Winnipeg) and the next day Louise's brother arrived (Andre & Hanny) for a ten day visit.

Louise was determined to show them all of her favourite spots, so we sailed up and down the Abacos, catching lobsters and fish, snorkeling on reefs, bonfires on the beach, great lunches at pubs and restaurants, long walks, loud music, watched movies, watched stars, celebrated both Hanny's and my birthday in grand style ( I can't believe I made it to 60.... ) and returned late last night to Marsh Harbour so they could catch a 5:45am taxi to the airport. A dinghy ride across the harbour in the dark as dawn approaches is quite memorable.

A busy week!

Today is four loads of laundry, refill the propane tank, restock the wine cellar and food locker, put back all of the "stuff" into the guest room, and prepare for the next 8 weeks of quiet times by ourselves.... no more guests expected this year....

Finally fixed the windlass problem properly, and now the watermaker needs a serious rebuild.... never a dull moment!
