Our Last Stop in the Bahamas was Grand, March 13, 2014

We are sitting at a dock at Grand Cay watching the weather and expecting to leave in the morning to cross to Florida. We are hoping to take advantage of the north flow of the Gulf Stream and sail all the way to Ponce Inlet, near Daytona Beach. This will be approximately 30 hours.




In the mean time, we have thoroughly enjoyed walking around Grand Cay. This is another cay that is "off the beaten path" for cruising boats. We have noticed that places that don't see a huge number of boats are the most welcoming. Virtually everyone we encountered during our two days here greeted us with a smile and said, "hello."

We ate take-away food at the places the locals eat and had opportunities to engage in real conversation.


This community survives by fishing and there are small boats everywhere. This little boy had been out with his dad.


Sister was on shore to pull them in and politely refused Dan's offer to help.


These guys were shooting hoops in the school yard and stopped long enough to get their picture taken.



We wandered through the well maintained cemetery.




We encountered this little cutie being pushed in a stroller by her big sister.




This is the view of one of the two streets that run the length of the island.





As we prepare to say goodbye to the Bahamas, we are reflecting on our time here and treasuring our last day at this Grand Cay.
