Day 143, December 31st, 2009
We are back again! We had such a lovely Christmas holiday with our family. But it seemed to whiz by in a blurrr!!!! We found everybody well and happy, we ate too much and just loved catching up with everybody!!! I wished we had booked a later flight but it was so hard to know when we made the booking. Oh Well! It was lovely and we were so glad we did it.
We arrived back by rental car at exactly midnight on the 30th. Luckily there was a gentleman in the common room, sitting watching TV, who kindly gave us a ride back to the boat in his dinghy. The boat was fine and we slept like logs back in the V-berth!!!
December 31st was hot and humid. Ah Florida!! This made coming back a little easier!!! We spent the day reprovisioning - going to WalMart and the Grocery stores, buying up food for a couple of months!! We know its going to be expensive to get groceries in the Bahamas so its easiest to do it this way. It took quite a while to pack it away in the boat. Pretty much every nook and cranny is now packed with something!!! We took the car back and dropped off the key and walked back to the boat, stopping at the IHOP for supper en route.
Back on the boat we watched a couple of movies and shared a glass of wine to bring in the New Year!!!
