NASSAU - 4/23/2015
It was back
to Moonstruck to prepare the dinghy for her new engine – Life is Good and we
can now cruise the Bahamian Water in current and wind.
We have been
traveling with Bob and Sandy MacNeill on Gusto and about 5:00 PM daily we meet for
our Skipper’s M eeting to review the weather and plan for the next day. Yes, there is usually alcohol involved, because no good idea ever started with a salad.
