Family reunion in George Town

It was short but sweet. Here’s a dozen pictures worth 12,000 words.

Lots of boats but plenty of space in this anchorage
Drenched from head to toes after the 30-minute dinghy ride against the wind and waves (the rain jacket didn’t really help). Welcome to the boat!

Catching up. They hadn’t seen each other in a while.

Most likely, this is where she caught the sea lice

The lagoon and the monument. The lagoon was nice.

Hey, where’s my breakfast! Wake up!


Bonus material

Excerpts of a conversation between one of our daughters and the incredulous parents of a friend of hers.
“What size is their boat?”
“About 40 feet, I think.”
“Oh they are not going to cross the Atlantic then.”
“Well, actually….”
“Do they have a captain?”
“It’s just the two of them.”
“Oh, I could never do that.  Did you believe they were serious about this whole thing?”
“Not really. Not even when they bought the boat. Only when they sold the house I started to worry.”
“And where do you sleep?”
“I sleep in the kitchen.”
“In the kitchen? Really?”
“Yeah, my bed and the kitchen are in the same room.”
“But you do have wifi on the boat?”
“Nope.”
“How do you watch movies then?”
“Well, we don’t.”
“Doesn’t that bother you?”
“Not really. What bothers me is when we run out of water.”

  1. That “bonus material” conversation is priceless! I couldn’t stifle a burst of laughter at the end. Makes me proud to have friends like you! Keep having fun. Rose

  2. are sea lice anything like land lice? with all the Nandu posts your access to internet is impressive. It’s fun to see the family together. thanks for the update.

    1. Sea lice are parasitical jellyfish larvae that gets under your skin thinking you might be a good fish host to live of. Unless you’re a marine animal, they won’t survive for long but you will have a very itchy rash for a few days.

      We have cell signal most of the times, and our T-mobile plan gives us unlimited data here in Bahamas, but at terribly slow G2 speed. It is a bit of a pain to post pictures, but I have patience.
