Two months in the Bahamas
We're home; back in Florida, after just over two months in the Bahamas. Any more time would be too much and any less would not have made the trials of the trip worth the effort. We now have a little different perspective on what a clear-water anchorage looks like, and what bad customer service is. Never mind the conveniences we take for granted here in the states; like great internet and phone service, inexpensive and readily available groceries and incidentals. It sure is good to be home!

That said, overall the Bahamas is a real gem. Getting away from places like Nassau and larger cities catering to wholesale tourism like Cruise Ships, Fishing excursions, and Gambling, can take you to a largely untouched wilderness. Finding smaller villages along the way, like Black Point, Staniel Cay, and Bimini were a reminder of simpler times and how we have it so good in the US. We will certainly remember these places fondly.

It's our hope that we will not need to remember for too long, as we are looking forward to our trip back next year. With plethora anchorages and islands, we're sure to find new places as we revisit familiar places. Our new found knowledge will certainly make the trip next year even more memorable in a more distant future.
