Moonrise and Sunset -- Unforgettable



On Nini and O's first day, we had the most amazing sunset and moonrise going on at the same time. Erick went out to get drinks from the patio fridge to go along with our fish tacos and called out to us. Expecting javalina or coyotes, the sheer beauty of the full moon rising took our breath away. And then, when we turned to go in for cameras, we saw the rainbow of colors creating an awesome sunset right behind us. We are so delighted in God's blessings for us all. Take time to stop and look at them.

Evils Knievel!



The Coverts couldn't wait to take a ride (or in O's case, rideS) on the Spyder, so Erick obliged and drove them around the immediate neighborhood. They were all smiles afterward, commenting on how fast they went and what they saw and where they went! As Erick said, he could take O on a 300-mile trip and she'd probably still say, "One more ride?"! It's really quite safe and stable. O says, "It's awesome. Can I drive?" Erick loves showing off his toy. He's made a few modifications and will continue to drive it to and from work, doing his part to stay green!

Yep, It's Still Breathtaking!

I'm telling you, those Bahamanians really know how to keep this place up! The beaches are better than ever, the water is more Caribbean blue than ever, and the condo is looking top notch! We've had some high seas and winds with cooler temps, but after the rain today, we're supposed to head into the 80s and sunshine until Saturday. We have over 40 golf balls so far after only 3 snorkeling outings, so we're on track! Our day with Marty and Eric at Harbour Island (the pink sand island) was delightful and fun (even though our golf cart with snorkeling gear and floats got stolen). Erick is on his second day of golf today (despite the rain) and has another scheduled later in the week. Won a little at the casino, had a bike ride on the beach cruiser (got a flat), splurged on Jamba Juice (they don't take gift cards!), and had the annual birthday bash with Betty and the kids all during the first week. That's going to be hard to beat, but we'll try! All in all, we give it an A+++++ so far. We'll keep you posted.
