Christmas Day and a day later

We went ashore yesterday for a very nice brunch.  There were 6 British Couples, 2 American Couples, and several teens from one of the boats. We had a nice assortment of snacks, some wine, and as we were nearing the end a local (musician?) came along to sing for us.

And he also brought a friend along who was in charge of passing the bucket.

We came back to the boat and played some cribbage and took it easy for awhile.  Called Liz and Devin via Skype (IP45 Moosetracks) who are in Marathon waiting for weather heading to Andros and the Exumas.

At about 5:00 we headed back to town, tied up the dinghy then walked over to Firefly's for dinner.  On the way over we took another picture of the South Bay area and you can see how many more boats have come in for the holidays.

After a nice walk we arrived at Firefly's and hit the pool and had a cool beverage before dinner.  Had to take a picture of the Moon and Jupiter.

Dinner was good but as is often the case - we could have done much better aboard!

This morning we have been prepping for tomorrows 0300 departure heading for St Lucia.  We had 4 strings of Christmas lights strung all around the boat on the upper lifelines - took those off but will install again in St Lucia.  Topping off the water tank and stowing gear in preparation for our trip.  Today is Boxing Day and Customs/Immigration are open but but Overtime Fees will apply - will see how much later today.

Turns out 63 ECD for Customs and 50ECD for Immigration!!  Yikes, but we are cleared out and leaving in the morning.
