12/27/09 Great night sleep on the dock, had a lot of work to catch up on and did not get started early enough the office opened at 8:00am at the marina Juliette went to buy more MB’s, because the 2ooMB John Doe paid $10.00 for the day before, did not last long. John Doe did not read the small print on the slip of paper with the code that they gave him at the office, so they did not know about the 200MB’s. Skype video must eat up a lot of MB now they know. The internet connection was very bad, to answers an e-mail Romeo had to type each letter 5 or 10 time it made him feel crazy. Triple A finally was able to do a Skype phone call after three tries, she was able to get a hold of Hercules and catch up on business, he is doing a great job.
John Doe sleeps a lot better knowing all his babies are sleeping. Triple A missed calling her BFF’S and wished they had more time on the dock, but why pay for another night with such a back connection. They felt sad they could not Skype Dad back, you would think that Highbome Cay Marina would allow for a late check out especially after spending $400.00 for 5 bag of groceries. Eggs $6.90 just to give you an idea of the prices. They kept knocking on the boat to get boaters to move like a Hotel guest, but they have no rooms to clean and no one coming in and empty spaces all around, pushy people running that Marina. They know they have you by the $alls those bas#%$&@#!!!!! No other stores until after the Exuma Park.
Romeo would like to take his time and enjoy all the islands, one nice thing will be that Warderick Wells the island with the Headquarters of the park has internet, who knows what that will be like.
Motored over to Shroud Cay, trolled for fish all the way, nothing not one bite so no more fishing until out of the Exuma Park. Northwest wind rough water and rolling. Romeo tied to a mooring ball for the night, they had hours of rolling waves 2 to 4 ft and 15 knot winds. It was laundry day so clothing hang every were to dry, washing machine does not work when boat is rolling and it takes a long time for things to dry and uses a lot of power and water, next time Triple A will plan better when at a Marina and start sooner.
Romeo went out to relieve himself after dinner and he about got the sh#% scared out of him, he almost fell off the boat, as a bunch of fish swarmed his urine as it hit the water, it was exciting way to end the night. A large Yacht took an mooring ball next to GETLOST. Soon the wind shifted to the north and by 9:30 pm the water was calm and no wind and turned out to be a nice night in the end.
12/28/09 Romeo and Juliette woke up to a beautiful morning. And soon will head over to Shroud Cay to a hike to Camp Driftwood, there was a guy in the 1960’s name Ernest Scholtes. He lived on a sail boat like a hermit, he built a trail and started building thing out of driftwood. People for years have been dropping off treasures found in the Cays, apparently the Park no long allows cruisers to leave items behind. The park has threaten to remove all articles and the Exuma magic will end forever. You would think they could spend that energy cleaning the other park beaches like the eastern shores of HAWKSBILL CAY
