Our last night in the Bahamas we anchored on the Little Bahama Bank, north of Memory Rock and on the edge of Florida Straight. In spite of rigorous weather forecasting and sea state analysis, we had no way of knowing about a 2-3 foot southwesterly swell coming off the straight and onto the area where we were anchored. With nowhere to go, we rocked and rolled through a sleepless night until first light, when we were outta there. Here's Peter surveying how the waves rearranged our furniture.
The next day we had a smooth passage to Ft. Pierce. Got fuel and stayed the night at Ron and Shelley's house. We are all amateur radio operators. Peter and Ron talked about Ron's antenna tower, shown in the background.
Peter took this picture early one morning in Georgia. He said it was beautiful. I slept thru it.
Sunday June 12th we arrived in Savannah GA in time to get some bread and milk, then off to the Winesett's for a wonderful early Father's Day feast. Lisa and Kathryn were up from FL for a birthday party on Saturday. My little grandbaby had turned into a wonderful todler in two and a half months since I saw her last. She loves frogs so she gave me one for Mother's Day.
Kathryn loves to read and she always asks Pop to listen.
Larry and Papa Winesett built a new deck. Kathryn loves to sit on the steps going into the house.
We just left Southport NC this morning after a wonderful visit with Miffi and Charlie.
We hope to be home on the 22nd, weather permitting.
