Sunday and moved the clock ahead


Another beautiful day in the Abacos. We had a party on board Marcnicliz last evening, before going up to the club house and having a super meal of steak and baked potato with about 100 other folks. I thought of how to convey what life is like on a boat and in a marina in Marsh Harbor or anywhere else. First is the beautiful sights of the water and reflections on the crystal blue water. Next is the smell of salt water and the sound of the sea birds or the sound of the wind in the rigging which makes them hum and groan in a deep resonance. The constant rocking motion makes for easy sleeping. All the friendly folks walking by on the dock who waive and sometimes stop to talk. You make a lot of new friends. Nanc makes twice as many as me in the same amount of time. Speaking of time, I had to remove three screws from the clocks base to remove it from the bulkhead to get it down and move it ahead an hour. We were trying to find out what time the Anglican service starts so we could dingy over. I finally called on VHF channel 16 and someone stated 1100. We dinghyed over and had a two hour service which is a record for me. We have Marcnicliz ready to go to sea again, with the dinghy motor on the rail and the dinghy hanging on the davits. We are watching the sun set while having a sundowner and thinking of a neighbor friend, Joe Davenport, who is thinking of joining us for the return trip which would be really nice. S

  1. Many years back Karen and I spent a week with my brother on his boat at Marsh Harbor and Hope Town. Your blog brings back wonderful memories. Great part of this world. Also, it is like Germany; there are no bad restaurants.
