AFTER A LOT OF THINKING ROMEO NEW HE COULD DO THE CROSSING
THINKING CORNER IN DUNMORE TOWN
IT WAS SO HARD TO THINK SHOULD WE LEAVE ALL THIS AND GO ON WITH OUR JOURNEY OR SAY AND THINK ON IT SOME MORE TIME.
12/4/09 Romeo decided to leave Harbour island and head back toward Spanish Wells. John Doe wasn’t to happy with his chart plotter. When he hired a pilot to guide them thru the “Devils Backbone”, the pilot said “just follow the trail on the gps on the return trip”. John Doe turned on the gps, and all his trails were gone. He did not know what happened, all he knew was he would be going back thru with just his charts and plotter. Romeo watched the pilot and felt he could do it. Romeo did it with no problem.
BACK IN SPANISH WELLS, BAHAMAS
TRANSPORTATION ON THE ISLANDS
THIS IS THE CUTIEST. WE DIDN’T RENT ONE BECAUSE WE NEEDED THE EXERISE AFTER SITTING ON THE BOAT.
Stopped over for a night or two in Spanish Wells. Romeo had the two diesel tanks filled, while Juilete purchased more Sea Food, Tuna, Lobster ,and Conch. Romeo rented a mooring ball to get a good night sleep $15.00. Then the two of them changed the oil in the two engines and also in the generator.
They were able to dispose of our dirty oil in town at a mechanics garage, and the old oil filters at Pinders.
The people in Spanish Wells are so nice on the way to the garage, John Doe and Triple A were a little lost and starting to bicker back and forth. Locals gave them instructions and offered them rides, but John Doe felt he could find the garage. Only problem is he doesn’t hear well and could not under stand what the people were saying, because of their accent. So Triple A spotted a lady that stopped in a big luxury car and offer to give them a ride they declined they still had oil on them so she gave them directions, “down the road and then you go out”. Romeo thought she meant right, Triple A THOUGHT, OUT MEANT TOWARDS THE WATER. Another man stopped and gave John Doe directions, Triple A still didn’t under stand WHAT THE MAN SAID. So Romeo gave Juliette her way and went out towards the water. A man and his son came by in a golf cart, John Doe and Triple A starting to have doubts in their decision, of going towards the water. Romeo told the man they were heading to Pinders Tune-Up the man said “you will never make it walking they close at 5:00 pm, hop on and we will give you a ride”, so Romeo and Juliette jump on the back of the cart and they were off to Pinders. They arrived with 2 minutes to spare, Romeo purchased some oil filters and spark plugs for the generator and the dingy. They started walking back to the boat, both their feet hurt, their sandals were wet from getting out of the dingy after landing on the beach from the boat and then walking all over town in slippery shoes. One of the mechanics stopped and asked if he could give them a ride any where on the island, again Romeo and Juliette jumped on the back of the golf cart. The nice man gave them a ride to their dingy and said good by.
This is a town were they feel so safe that their are no strangers. It is not a tourist town. It is a fishing town and they are very industrialist and they all seemed to help each other. The man that gave them a ride, told them that “the price of spinney lobster is down, so times a tuff or every one.” It was like going back in time there is no crime and also no fear, you wave your arm and they stop to see if you need something or a ride.Romeo and Juliette have only seen this on the movie, Truman with Jim Carey.
Can this be real, no bars, no liquor stores and almost all white people with a kind of English and Irish act sent, but different and a little hard to under stand. Very,very nice people!!!!! LATER THAT NIGHT THEY LAUGHT TOGETHER. THINKING HOW POTECTIC THEY MUST HAVE LOOKED CARRYING A FIVE GAL TANK OF OIL, BRIGHT YELLOW. A WHITE BUCKET FILLED WITH DIRTY OIL FILTERS. A GUY 6’3” WITH A LADY 4’11'” IN A ORANGE DRESS THAT LOOKS LIKE A KID, CARRYING A BIG BLACK BACK PACK. SAILING LIFE IS GOOD!!!
12/5/09 They both had a good night sleep!!!!! And woke up feeling refreshed.
