This afternoon, as predicted by all weather forecasting services, the weather turned ugly. We had moved to a different anchorage a couple of days ago in anticipation of this stuff... However, the wind direction that we expected is not quite what we are experiencing, so we are bouncing a bit, and we have a rocky shore downwind of us. I do, however, feel comfortable about my 22# danforth with 40" 3/8 chain holding us well. The wind is not expected to blow too hard for very long, so if this keeps up, we will move to a different spot tomorrow.
Yesterday we came across our friend, Guillermo, a Colombian living in the Bahamas, and he introduced us to Clementina and Francesco. We invited Clementina and Francesco over to the dinghy drift and had an awesome time. A dinghy drift is an activity where many dinghies tie up together and simply drift around. While we did not drift (there was an anchor involved), we did tie up almost 50 dinghies! It seemed that every dinghy brought food to share, and while we didn't do just that, we did bring about 5 gallons of rum punch which made us one of the most popular dinghies in the drift. Lorena was acting as bartender and it seemed that she was pulling one of Jesus' miracles off, she served what seemed like hundreds of cups (many of those for herself) and we didnt run out of rum punch, in fact, I am enjoying one right now!
Good job guys, I'm proud of you. You are not letting me down especially in regards to alcoholic popularity.
