Games at the Beach

Monday, April 23, 2018 - Day 12

Another very windy day, but we all made the best of it with an afternoon of swimming and games on the beach.
The group soaked in the warm water most of the afternoon.  The ocean water was warmer than the pool. So we decided this was much more desirable.

 Several decided to take a try on Patrick and Laura's paddle board.  Some were much more successful than others.  The videos tell the tale but they are too much to load onto the blog.

Laura and her dog, Bower, were the real hero's of the day.  Bower just loves the water and he was not bad on the paddle board either.







We spent the evening having an old fashion dock party on the dock.

All was great until a very rude boater pulled in with two large golden doodles that were totally untrained and allowed to run loose off the boat. 






Tuesday, April 24, 2018 - Day 13

We are still in Chub Cay.  The sea heights from here to Nassau are 4-7 feet so we are holding tight until the seas subside.

Our entertainment today is a golf cart tour of the island.

This is the new Clubhouse with a beautiful dining room, two bars, the registration area and sitting areas.  The upstairs has nine hotel rooms and a suite. 

Below is the brick roadway through the villas which can be rented by the night and residential housing. 

 The Blue Hole is located at the far end of the island on the airport side.  No one knows how deep it is but there are cars, airplanes and a helicopter located along the edge.  This car serves as an excellent habitat for large fish, turtles and many other smaller fish.  The locals like to fish here as it is salt water. 

Along the road away from the marina we saw lots of gardens, plant nursery and the areas for water storage, maintenance, island generators and everything that is needed for the island to be self sustaining.


Tomorrow we will try to make our way to Hurricane Hole Marina on Paradise Island in Nassau.
