In Freeport, Bahamas....again.

We are in Freeport on the Island of Grand Bahama now. We have been here before. We came here on a cruise ship from Florida in the summer. Before that in April my Mom and her friend went on the same cruise and stayed in the same hotel and everything. My Dad also came here and to Nassau once on a Christian cruise. He was teaching Christians how to tell others about the Gospel. Then they actually went out onto the streets and to schools and talked to people.
This time we are staying on our own boat. When we came over it was kind of rough. There were seven foot waves (plus swells). I didn't sleep very well and I threw up twice! We left Bimini on Friday at about 3:30pm and we arrived at Freeport on Saturday at about 7:00 or 8:00am.
We are staying at a marina behind the dolphin apartments. My Dad met a pastor on the Christian cruise who lives here in Freeport. He and his wife arranged for us to stay here for a lower price.
There is a pool here and we went swimming in it a few days ago. It was cold!
My Mom, my brother, and I went for a dingy ride. We explored some of the house lined canals. We saw a big boat tied to a dock that was half sunk. I think it was behind an abandoned yacht club.
The man who sort of takes care of the marina and apartments drove us to the market. It is right by the hotel we stayed at in the summer. We ate at Zorba's. It's a Greek restaurant that we really like. We've been there a few times before. We also walked around the market for a little while
