Bahamas cruising

[skylark]

Just a little refreshing coolness!  :P

[s/v Faith]

Frank,

  Here is some grog in thanks, keep the great pics coming.  As Rose and I continue our way back north we both spend more time talking about our plans for the next trip then the cruising we are doing today.

 
Tim,

But then I remembered I was going to be down there also during Spring Break!
Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

  I shall try to remember the bar (Captain Jim's?) , but when you are in Hope Town ask for 'Chicago Mike' he keeps his Ariel there and is a great guy. (Here is some grog for you to pass along to him for me).

[Frank]

No prob Craig...I know the ariel.He was not around last time I went looking...will  try again in a few days.Just had 2 good buddies fly in to Treasure Cay...took them to Manjack, GreenTurtle, Hope Town and then Marsh Harbour (yuck) where they just flew out of today.Was a fun time. Judy flys in here March 1st and with bad weather/winds forcast, I'll just hang out here until she arrives. Sure is 'culture shock' how loud and busy this is after GreenTurtle and HopeTown.

[Lynx]

Frank, Are you going to be at Nipers on Sunday?

Leaving Man of War on Turrsday if the weather is as predicted and going over to Marsh for the day. Where are you anchored?

Lynx

[Frank]

I'll be at Marsh Harbour untill march 2nd :-(   Anchored "yes Kurt..anchored ;-)" out front near the 'moorings boat rentals'. Here is a few pics from Marsh Harbour

[Lynx]

Just wait until you try to pull up those anchors, you may need my 50 hp.

See you on Thurs. Pizza for lunch?
I need to go to Ace Hardware.

[Frank]

Quite a rain around 7 am in Marsh Harbour...lots of wind too. Calling for gusts over 35 knots today. Feel good here at anchor...great holding in a grey coloured firm mud. Pic just before dingy ride in to do laundry.

Its a tough life!

*grrr*

[Frank]

Met James from MV Lynx for a Marsh Harbour walkabout and pizza.Good pizza...reasonable too. Ya have to dodge traffic here...busy ! Had another couple wake me up for a visit. I've ran into them 5 times in Florida and 8-9 times here in Bahamas over years, nice peple.Small world out here. Sunny today after yesterdays big blow and rain. Here's a few pics from Marsh Harbour    Kurt...note the ANCHOR line off my bow ::)

[Tim]

Thanks for the pics Frank, and Charlie probably won't mind, he and Laura actually went out and spent the night at anchor last night. ;)

[Frank]

took this a few minutes ago while having coffee in the cockpit..."just another morning in Bahamas'

[AdriftAtSea]

Frank-

Did I ever mention how much I can hate you on mornings like this... :)

[CapnK]

Hey Frank - How about I show everyone "The Rest of the Picture"?

(All: It's sad, isn't it? Poor guy...)

[Tim]

LOL  ;D

[skylark]

Those pics can't be real, the whole world is covered in white stuff. 

[Pappy Jack]

Oh man!!!

I needed that! I spent 12 hrs. working outside last night in Wisconson. It was COLD, snowing, blowing and(I'll say it one more time :'()COLD. I told myself that when I get back to the motel I will get on line and look up SailFar and hope that there are some new pics. from somewhere warm ;) and there they are. Thanks from somebody who really needed a lift ;D.

Fair winds,

Pappy Jack

[Frank]

A Sailfar exclusive: I have been working on a search engine bot that will go through my database of cruising links and look for specific search terms. It digs down 3 pages deep and checks the website for search terms out of a database.  I have been working on this for about 3 weeks straight and finally got it to work the way I want it.  I think it is working anyway.  Here are the results for the Bahamas:

Is this useful?  I am going do an ICW page next, with all the ports I can find up and down the ICW.
