Bahamas round 3

Michelle 82 and beautiful
We arrived in the Bahamas on Thursday the 6th at 11:30am. Mike went into Green Turtle Cay to clear us in. Then after lunch we took the kids in for ice cream. The crossing was not too bad. Josh stayed outside with Mike all day and he pretty much stayed in his seat. He was a little lethargic from a half of dramamine. I took one but it was too late. So I got sick a few times and was down for most of the day. Bradleigh got nothing because her doctor said not under 2. She got sick. She threw up 5 times or so. Once all over Mike, twice all over me and the other two times on me and the sleeping bags, blankets and pillows. Little kids do not give much warning. She was pretty happy right after she threw up so it must have made her feel better. It always makes me feel better. I was able to finally stand my first night watch and let Mike get some sleep. I brought Josh out at midnight to see the stars and phosphoresence. He had told Mike he was going to stand the midnight watch and he did. Neither of us could get him back to bed until 3:30am. So Mike got about an hour and a half of sleep. Then Bradleigh woke up and was up for 3 hours. Mike told Josh it was kind of boring just sitting keeping watch and Josh said fishing is not boring so they threw out a line and just before we came onto the Bahama Banks they caught a Mahi Mahi. We got about 12lbs of fish from it. Josh said it was a little sad for the fish that we killed it but it was not sad for us because we get to eat it. Josh and Mike have been doing a little snorkeling. Josh loes it and is a little scared all at the same time. Bradleigh and I have been swimming and collecting rocks and shells. She loves to dig in the sand . But her favorite thing is to collect stuff, and anything will do. She fills up her hands with rocks, shells, sticks, leaves, flowers or trash until she can hold no more. Then we spend lots of time waiting while she tries to pick up more and drops what she has and then tries to pick it all back up over and over. Mike says be careful shoveling don't hurt your backs and tell the kids not to eat yellow snow. Sorry for all the typos and no pics but I did this on the kindle.
