Where Are They Now?

The wait continues

Well at least we are getting all our ducks in a row while waiting! We spent an hour on the veranda Tuesday morning signing over 50 different pieces of paper as we finalized the refinancing on the house. The notary was also a real estate agent and said she'd be glad to sell us a home if we were interested! One house is enough.

Dan was feeling much better, but not quite ready to go diving again. He had been in contact with Fred at PYI about re-setting the spring on the Ecowind and Fred told him to use the two screws he had included in the box with the prop. That was news to us, we hadn't seen any small baggie with parts when we unpacked the prop. When I took the box up to the front desk on Thursday to ask where to dispose of it, the manager said to leave it in the office because they liked to have one around for mailing stuff. Luck was with us, the box was still there and the baggie was in it! The prop work was done today, so we are taking a little jaunt tomorrow morning to see how the adjustment worked.

We've been here long enough that the regulars (fishing boats for hire, dive boats, etc.) are getting to know us, so when Andiamo's neighbor came back with a good catch yesterday, he offered them some yellowtail filets. John cooked them on the grill and they were delicious. We were looking forward to fresh fish in the Bahamas, didn't expect to get it here. We have signed up for a rental car for the next two days, hopefully for our LAST provisioning trip before we leave and also to go to the Miami Boat Show on Friday. I know, what could we possibly need!? We'll see. ~~~_/)~~~M&D

Diving Dan does it again. The hex set with the tiny set screw was just one more bit of his great mastery



Coconuts, the restaurant on the corner has been sporting the dilapidated canvas awning since we were here two years ago, it finally is getting a facelift. We haven't eaten there because we have been enjoying our veranda dinners too much.
