Arrival

Well, we got into Lucaya just before 9am. The water at the approach went from 500+ feet deep to appx 10 feet deep in about a 150 yards !! (Just a bit disconcerting...) The water color and clarity is post card pretty. In 20' of water you can clearly see the bottom and fish swimming around....

We got tied up promptly and had to take a water taxi to Customs and Immigration. Another boat ("Stolen Moments") arrived just before us, so we all went together. Craig kept humming the Crosby Stills tune "Immigration Man" (Half way through the song the lyrics change from Immigration Man" to "Irritation Man"...will you let me in ??) As in the song, we we spent 4 hours waiting to get cleared in (which included going to lunch to wait for a second person). A couple of Kaliks (Bahamian Beer) eased the process.

We got back to the boat, got her squared away, and Trudie went to the pool to get cooled off and work on her tan and I gave Persephone a bath. I got as much spray on me as the boat 'cause it was so hot.

We are hanging at the dock tonite, and crashing early. We haven't yet figured out when or where we are going next ! We'll let you all know.
