 Our sunrise in Grand Cay

Another shot

Bob working on watermaker 

 The dogs in town are so sweet!

 See us in the background?

 Our Christmas tree this year! 



What a great day today was.  Bob traced the water maker all over the boat, washed out filter containers, and basically got the system going.  We still need to change out the membrane and put in the cleaning solvents to get it going but that shouldn't take that long.  They say when we test the water it should be less than 500....and right now ours is reading 710 and that's with the old membrane and no solvents so I have high hopes for this thing working! 

I did a lot of cleaning on the boat today.  I washed down all the walls, floors, windows and cockpit.  Today was the "lighting of the boat" day with Christmas decorations and I wanted to make sure it sparkled once I turned on the lights.  And it did!  Our Christmas tree is a real tree, a lot smaller than last years, but it is real and it is very cute!  I still have some stuff left to do inside as far as decorating goes, but not a lot.

It was really hot today and once we finished with our projects we got into the water and did some more snorkeling. My cucumber is still laying around down by the sunken boat along with the lobster.  It keeps teasing Bob every time he dives down there.  The lobster will stick his antenna out from under the boat and it appears as though he is laughing at Bob, just daring him to try and catch him!

We are moving on tomorrow.  We are headed for Double  Breasted Cay's.  It is very remote and there are no towns there.  Just beauty and we can't wait to see it!  We will probably be there for 5 or 6 days and then going to Fox Town maybe, before moving on to Green Turtle, Abacos.  Gary & Jayne want to be in Green Turtle for Christmas.  We're all good since we've never been to any of the places.  Green Turtle is a happening place and I should be able to get on the internet (as long as it's not all password protected) and make phone calls from there.

Will be back on line soon!
