Still put in Marsh Harbor


The wind continued to blow hard today but luckily it has been veering and now the waves stopped knocking on our bedroom wall. Last night we slept in the front cabin but the noise of the lines kept waking Juan up, so he kept going out to ease the pressure. Mike and Idette had the same problem. With the wind change we managed a great nap. Maybe, just maybe we might be able to leave the marina tomorrow and start crawling out. Maybe to Man'o war Cay and then Little Harbor to wait for weather to cross to Eleuthera. It's an almost 60 mile stretch of open ocean so we have to make sure the weather helps.
In the meantime we walk to town. I have been in more hardware stores in a few days than in my whole life, and the worst is that given the lack of options I even relish it!! (well, not quite). In the evening we continue having wonderful meals. Since we slept in the afternoon we might even make it through a movie. Our last movie viewing experience was not too successful. It was the Sound of Music, with commercials. Juan went to bed halfway through, but he has seen it many, many times: my children and I love it. Mike said he had only seen it once when it first came out in the theater and dared claim it was corny! He did not see it this time either because he slept through it and only woke up during commercials to continue claiming it was corny!! (You know now what DVD he needs to get as a present) Idette and I saw it through. Idette hadn't seen it for a long time, but I even know the script by heart! - but with the commercials it went on forever, only for hardcore fans.
