JOURNAL ENTRY 5/11/17 THE BAHAMAS

After spending an incredible night anchored on a sea of glass it was time for us to continue our journey towards West End where we will spend the remainder of our time here in The Bahamas. We got a slip at Old Bahama Bay and were relieved to have a gentle breeze blowing while in the marina to help cool us down.

While at the fuel dock we experienced some frustration when the ignition switch wouldn't start the engine. If you have been following our story you will remember that this isn't the first time we have had to deal with this problem. Luckily it wasn't too difficult for us to bypass and we were able to move out of the way of other cruisers wanting to use the fuel dock. Here is a link to the video where we fixed the switch the first time: ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_50jnDQV4iA&t=2s

Something we had both looking forward to experiencing while on our adventure was to ride bikes around the islands. With this being our last destination in The Bahamas, we were sure we wouldn't ever get the chance, but when asking the lobbyist for walking directions to the local grocery store we were told we could ride the marina's bikes there for free! We were so excited!

We knew that Hurricane Matthew had hit West End about 7 months earlier and had heard stories of how devastating the destruction had been for many people within its path, but now seeing some of the damage in person was amazing for us. We can't imagine how it must have felt to be in such a storm. It was sad to see torn up homes trying not to fall apart, and skeletons of building fighting to stand up. If there's one thing we have learned while visiting The Bahama's is that the people here are Stronger than the Storm! They have come a long way to rebuild their homes and have done a fine job at getting back up on their feet!
