Heidi and Jeremiah arrived on the day after Christmas after leaving Cleveland an hour
before the storm hit and we had a great week together. They brought with them some
Christmas gifts and goodies from home which we enjoyed including "snow in a can"
from which we made a legitimate snowman (semi-legitimate?). We got to show them
some of the sights and islands we have enjoyed, snorkeled, biked, walked the beaches
and relaxed. Some of the days were a little cloudy and breezy but we had a good sail
day going to Treasure Cay. They were ready for some relaxation and that's what we did.
That, and going to a New Year's Eve dinner and party their last night. They, too fell in
love with Bahamian bread. It is soooo good.
We had a great snorkeling day at Mermaid Reef, very close to our home base. Jeremiah
was swarmed by the fish at the reef. He also found three nice conch shells on the beach,
one of which we'll make into a conch horn.
In the last few days a lot more people have come into the marina so there is more going
on now. We just met a younger couple from Florida but originally from Columbus, which
could be guessed from their boat name, "Buckeye". They had been dying to play euchre
because no one down here plays so we joined them on their catamaran last night for some
fun.
Right now we are eagerly awaiting our next guests who should arrive in an hour or so,
Carol's sister Sue, her daughter Raina, and Sue's good friend Dorian. I'll be the only guy
aboard. Pray that I don't drown in all the estrogern aboard. Actually I'm looking forward
to their visit.

Ladies, here's what you can do with your guys.
