The Pearl (Jennifer)
Buccaneer and I took 2 car trips to Governor's Harbour. Our first trip involved a bakery visit, checked out the grocery stores and the town. We actually got pulled over by the Bahamian police. Deep breath. They were checking for seat belts- $400 dollar fine! Luckily, we always wear our seat belts (especially when we are driving on the other side of the road, in a foreign country, in an unfamiliar car in pretty interesting condition- we always wear our seat belts). The harbour is beautiful and Cupid Cay has an interesting history with very old buidlings.
Our second trip was with Hank and Trisha (s/v Adventura). We joined them for Junior Junkanoo and a movie! The Junkanoo started at 5ish and was still going on when we got out of the movie at 10pm. The colors, music, customs and vibe were amazing. As Uncle T says, this was a must to check off the list! Check.
We had a lovely dinner and then a movie. There just happens to be a "normal" theatre that shows "real" movies (the movie reel cases had the FBI stickers on them and everything)! We saw Daniel Craig in Bond- very nice indeed.
We had a wonderful time with Hank and Trisha. From each first mate I learn a little more about food, food storage and making life aboard more comfortable. Trisha share a few tips with me, including these green produce bags and a recipe for cashew dressing. Yum! The bags are amazing and keep produce fresher longer! Great Christmas present idea, hint, hint!
I just saw Adventura sail into Black Point- Yah!
More to come!
Love,
Pearl
