Today is my only grand daughter’s birthday and I would like to wish her a Happy 10th Birthday.
After breakfast we went to the hardware store to pick up hooks and weighs for our fishing rod since we lost quite a few the past couple of days. We then stopped in at the grocery store to pick up eggs. We ran into Nadia who is from Switzerland and John from the US. We talked a little too long since we got caught in the rain but at least it was only drizzles.
We changed the bedding when we got back to the boat and hand washed the others and hung them out to try. The bed sheets were like a sail since there was a strong wind.
Steve read while I practised my ukelele playing until 4:00pm. We went to Sow’s for Happy Hour. It was busy. Guess boater’s want to get off their boats and meet other boaters. Tonight’s special was barbecue chicken with coleslaw and corn. It was good.
When we got back to the boat, we received a surprise phone call from my sister and brother in law wishing Steve a Happy Birthday. That was a nice surprise.
We relaxed under the stars while listening to music and then later watch TV before going to bed.
A lot of boats came in the bay today.
February 29, 2020 Leaping along in Long Island
7:00 am- Prepared my dough for bread. After listening to the cruiser’s net we decided to go for a walk on the beach rather than go to the market which is every Saturday.
It was so nice to be on the beach again. Too bad it is so far to walk to it but well worth it.
Gorgeous display of rocks
As we sat on one of the rocks looking out at the ocean, we noticed a group of Bahamians in a distance talking.
We didn’t think much of it until we started walking back on the street and noticed policeman and a government car all gathered. We heard about 2 missing local girls a couple of days ago and we also saw the Coast guard flying along the ocean. Steve asked one of the locals in his car about what was going on. The police made the gruesome discovery of the bodies in the Salt Pond settlement today (which is near where we were) and have a suspect in custody. It was unfortunately a mother and daughter who were murdered. The island of approximately 3000 people are unaccustomed to violence and are all in shock. Apparently, it was a domestic violence.
We were back at the boat around 11:00
2:30 pm- Bread is out of the oven and of course we had to sample it. Yummy as usual.
Karen asked me to make a dessert for tonight since she invited us along with John and Nadine from s/v Paradise Sound for a chili dinner at 4:30 pm. It was a very nice get together and we got to know Nadine who is from Switzerland and John from the U.S.

7:30 pm- Once we got back to the boat, we watched a movie before going to bed. It is cooler out tonight. The wind is suppose to pick up.
