Eluthra Rendezvous
March 30th, 2006
Today was a day to remember! Yesterday Michael and I sailed from the Exumas, Bahamas to a remote spit of land on the island of Eluthera, owned by Princess Cruise Line, to meet Mom/Grams/Grandmom, Kay, Pat& Rog, Desi & John and Karon & Kris. The ship’s captain provided the GPS coordinates and Mom arranged for us to be cleared to land our dinghy and join them for a beach BBQ. It was such a hoot. We arrived last night and were up at 7 am to watch the cruise ship slowly sail into view and anchor. An hour or two later we were on shore to meet their tender. I have a few great pictures which I will post as soon as we are back into internet access. Mom looked her usual terrific, color coordinated, accessorized self, and Kris looked great, much better than I expected. She says that she has been doing really well while in the warm climate. We shuttled mom, Kay, Karon and Kris out to Aphrodite in our dinghy and then Rog, Desi and John sailed a 14 ft Hobie Cat out to join us. It was a real treat to show them our boat/home and share a little bit of our lives. It is not everyone who can sail out of the wild blue yonder and meet family for lunch on a remote island.
Tomorrow we sail back to the Exumas where Michael will try his luck at spear fishing for lobster one more day before the season closes. We will be heading south to Georgetown, Exuma, Peter and Tina’s old stomping grounds.
Pictures to follow……
love, Jeri
