broken toe - strong spirit - realignment


about 6 days ago i was most anxious to have internet and decided that i was taking my computer over to volley ball beach.  for those of you who do not know i fell (once again) off the side of the dingy and into the water.  actually the dingy kinda ran over me.  anyway, the backpack got wet and so did my computer.  i then proceeded to have a melt down.  had to get my self back on the right track which is what i have been working on.  no internet till today.  so sorry i have not posted i have been reassessing what is really important to me.  ruining my new computer went to the bottom of the list.  only to find out today that i can still use it i just have to have 110.  so see as soon as you let go of something it works out.  enough

so we have been hanging out in sand dollar anchorage.  it really is beautiful here.  everything on the boat has been going well till this am when i found our head leaking.  but the real news is i caught my little toe on a line this morning and hurt it.  then i was hobbling around in the galley and was not moving as expected by kirk and our feet met and wowwweeee  pulled that little toe again.  i think it was kinda sticking out a little.  but now it is definitely a boo boo.  my foot is swollen and black and blue.

yesterday we went over to the same spit we went to on christmas day with c & e but walked further.  we watched a ray come in from the ocean and swim up into the shallows.  was wild.  the tide was really low so we could walk all over the sand bars.  i was practicing my dingy skills i.e.  starting, driving and getting out and in without falling in the water!!!!  the other morning i saw a turtle swimming by the boat.  it was really pretty

we have met some more people.  some we met up with in lucaya are here and today the cruisers on a boat (cat) named "One White Tree" came over and introduced themselves.  "One White Tree" is from J R R Tolkien just as Ainulindale is.  so we had a little  Lord of the Rings chat.   the funny part is people in volley ball beach anchorage told them where we were.  Kirk had talked with them when Irene came through annapolis in the summer.  but we never caught up with them in maryland.  they are from canada.

tonight we are going to the "rake and scrape" at Eddie's Edgewater.  should be interesting trying to dance with a broken toe.  also fun crossing the channel at night.  it is rough again.  was a bouncy ride into town this morning.  actually it has been rocking and rolling for 2 days.  the ocean was 5 - 6 feet swells today.  i am glad i am in here and that we do not have to go any where for fuel.

we took the boat over to the fuel dock here at georgetown after kirk checked the fuel by buying five gallon jug and then pouring it into the boat a few days ago.    we used the baha filter on the one side and kirk decided that the fuel was good enough that we did not have to use the filter for the other side.   is a slow process putting fuel into the boat using the filter but it beats having water and sand in your tanks.  

will report on the rake and scrape

The rake and scrape was fun.  i sure wish i could dance like the bahamaian men.  they were something to watch.  another new experience.  the music was not rustic but was fun.  looks like another beautiful day here.
