Movin on

Our next short trip was to Mattlow's Cay (privately owned).  At the risk of sounding redundant, there were beautiful beaches surrounding the anchorage and the caretaker of the island was very gracious when he advised us not to venture onto the island because there was a "guest" there.  The available lots were selling for between 1 and 4 million, so of course we all purchased on the spot.

 

 

When we arrived at the anchorage, Serendipity rafted to September Song.  While refueling in Nassau, our overzealous dock attendant pulled the boat too close to the dock and a piece of blade snapped off the wind generator.  Thankfully, the piece landed on the boat.  Bob suggested the raft-up so we could reach the blades (it's tough to climb the arch on the outside and balance while working on the moving blades).  Bob and Jay removed the blade, epoxied the pieces, and solved several world problems over rum.  The next day we repeated the rafting process and they reattached the blade.  It seems to be working (just a bit wobbly), so we're able to supplement the solar panels for power again.

Bob and Stephanie invited us all over for fish tacos that night (still enjoying their huge catch from Black Point), so we celebrated life and fish and good friends and beautiful places.  I know, I know, life is tough.......
