Bison...Here? Orchid Bay Marina, Great Guana Cay, Bahamas

We had a beautiful Day in Great Guana Cay. The morning started off with Waffle breakfast in the Gazebo with several other boaters. Our host for the occasion was Diane from Boatel 1. 
Diane and Ted live in Toronto on their boat. In the winter time when the B&B is closed they head off to Bahamas for a few months. Not a bad way to live! Diane made all the waffles and we all brought toppings. 






Vince, pictured here is a teacher from Halifax. He was voted most appetizing waffle with black berries, bananas, pineapple and  whipped cream with a little Caramel sprinkles to top it off.  









After our breakfast we retreated to the boat for some more basket weaving, transferring and cleaning fuel for our next leg of the trip etc.. 

Later in the afternoon we went for a walk to the beach. We ended up in a bar named Nippers to catch a view of the ocean side of this island. The Atlantic was still angry, although less so than yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow bodes well for us. We'd like to see 5 feet or less for wave if possible. Please! 





We ended our evening with a Bison dinner on 'Esprit'. Kelly and Melissa are a young couple from Alaska. They invited us over for dinner with their 3 daughters. 

What a treat it was. The Bison we had was shot by Kelly and part of their provisions when they came on this one year adventure. They took a year off and are home schooling the girls during this time. The girls have prepared their own fish bowl and caught all of the critters in it. 3 hermit crabs, 1 little fish (which they hope to grow to eating size) 1 small crab and a snail. They feed the critters bits of fish and weeds. All of the fishbowl coral and plants were gathered from the Ocean here. Really cool project.  









We had a lovely evening with are three blond hosts. Olivia, Tate and Vivian. We wish them well on the rest of their voyage. Good night all
