Attack of the rocky cliff!

Hello earthlings!
We are writing to you beneath a pine tree, overlooking beautiful blue Bahamian waters. We are confined to these quarters while others frolic on the beach with our friends Ruby Vi.
Not far from here, not so long ago, a terrible accident happened. While running with a Christmas kite on Boxing Day, a rocky cliff jumped up in Annie’s path and attacked her, leaving her speechless and in great pain. Eliora’s crew came to the rescue with first aid. Several bandages and 3 steri-strips later, we returned to Jazzy Lady. Fear not earthlings, Annie’s wounds are healing well. We hope that she’ll be back to normal very soon. In the meantime, she’s suffering from stillness. But we’ve got ahead of ourselves, and should go back to where we last left off.
On December 21st, a very sad Jazzy Lady crew said goodbye to their captain for a little while. He was needed in Quebec City to fly people to Cuba. Two days later, a reinforcement came in - me, Mark’s sister Tracy. Most of my luggage was “not-so-conveniently” left in Miami. Fortunately, the Christmas bag did arrive eventually. But, the stress was not over. Would Santa be able to find us?
The Santa tracker showed that he would be nearby at 10:08 pm. So all got to bed as quickly as we could. We woke up to stockings filled with things. The kids were overjoyed! That afternoon we had a Christmas potluck lunch with friends. We had a second, smaller Christmas when Mark got home with a sack of toys from Nana and Kimbo (aunt and grandmother).
One of the highlights from Tracy’s visit was the sting rays at Chat ‘n’ Chill beach - they nuzzle up to you and you can “pet” them. They are very soft. And as always, food takes centre stage and Jazzy’s crew is not hard done by.
Peace out.
