Christmas

We had a quiet Christmas day aboard Ariel. Linda prepared a traditional turkey dinner finished off with apple pie and ice cream. We telephoned family and our older grandchildren (older than Camryn) Thomas, Micheal and Evelyn each talked to us on the phone. This is a departure point for the Abacos and many if not most of boats here are waiting for a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream. A window opened Christmas day, so there was quite a large exodus Christmas morning. Our plan is to visit the Exumas so we will move further south before crossing. The day after Christmas we had a taxi take us and our life raft to the shop to be repacked. This gave us a chance to see a little more of the area. We used the bus system to return. The system is extensive so we should be able to get to most places.
