Jan 14-15, 2015 Gilbert's Tiki bar 25◦17'.225N 080◦22'.817W

I did not do a blog yesterday mostly because nothing much happened. It was as a dark and dingy morning, so we washed floors and did chores but the afternoon got really gorgeous so we went into town to grab some provisions and a shrimp net then came back to the boat for a swim, docktails and a quiet evening.

We took off this am with 3 other boats and made our way to Barnes sound. We will anchor here for a couple of days, then make our way up the coast to stage for our crossing of the Atlantic Ocean to Bahamas. Right now it looks as though the best time to cross will be Sunday. Our original plan was to go up to Fort Lauderdale, but since we are now in the company of three experienced boaters we will take advantage and follow them. Once in Bahamas we will unfortunately have to part ways but at least we have the benifit of their experience to do the crossing.

Today our ride took us through Gilbert's Tiki bar and Marina. For those of you who don't know, quite a few years ago, Jim and I took a holiday with Leo and Rachelle who where then dating. Leo took this trip as an opportunity to propose to Rachelle. It was quite exciting, especially during that time where we were all waiting to see if she would say yes...but she finally did and we celebrated. 

That night we went to Gilbert's for a drink and some singing. Rachelle and I won a Karaoke contest and we all had a great night. Great memories indeed. 

On that note I will leave you so we can go make a few more memories. Good night to y'all.
