Today is the big day for RH. We have been busy last night and this morning getting everything packed and also cleaning up RH for storage. There is a lot that goes into getting a motor home ready for storage. Flush the tanks, clean the fridge out, spray the tires with product to help block UV rays on the rubber, vacuum, secure all the paper work, get rid of the food, lightly spray grease on some metal components in and around RH and whatever else I forgot to mention.
We spent our day yesterday out on a boat doing a little snorkeling. We went to two different reefs and were swimming in water about 23 - 35 feet deep.
(Don't get excited. This is not Reta and I in the picture. We don't have an underwater camera so I have to go on the internet and find pictures. Plus, those shorts are a little to small for me.) There were so many big fish. Luckily, nothing that could mistake us for food. Even at that depth Reta and I were "free diving" down to the bottom to take a closer look at things. It's amazing when you are coming back up for air you start using your fins to get back up to the surface faster and by the time you reach the surface you come out of the water almost to your waist from the speed you picked up. I wish we would have gone scuba diving but we decided to save our money for the Bahamas. There were some Germans on aboard with us and the wife was kind enough to "chum" the water for us to attract more fish. Lets just say she didn't have a good time. If you consider having your head hanging overboard and looking at what you had for dinner the night before.
We are both excited about our next destination. Never having been to the Bahamas and the chance to sail around the islands that make it up is very exciting. We land in Marsh Harbor, where the boat is anchored, and will begin our trip to where ever early the next morning.
We have been aboard “Magic” when she was in Solomon Island and really enjoyed our weekend with Deb and Charlie. What’s not to like when you have a grill on deck and we were grilling up some steak with some cold drinks, watching the sunset. I enjoy talking to Charlie and listening to his adventures of sailing around the Caribbean several years ago. We leave this Saturday, the 9th, and will return back to Florida on the 27th. I am not sure if I will be able to post to the blog so check back a couple times to see. If I am not able, when we get back I will upload a ton of pictures and some stories of our trip. Until then keep your fingers crossed that this little puddle jumper that we are taking has a safe flight.
