Lazing about, working out a solution to bypass our one
failed battery, making our traditional Rocky Road candy, getting our bikes down
for a ride, walking the sandy beach, making new friends, ‘docktails’, playing
the ring toss game, reading and struggling with the often nonexistent Wi-Fi
connection; we have been busy bees!
Highborne Cay at the
southern end of those beautiful Exumas hosts a lovely marina and resort with
luxury cottages for rent. There are
eight pristine beaches around the approximately 3 mile long island, a BTC tower
(that is having some problems working right now) and a seldom frequented bus
stop.

Stromatolites, a laminated calcareous fossil structure
constructed by marine algae, are found here and it is the only known marine
environment where they are known to prosper.
Kind a cool thing.
There are boats coming and going from the marina like
crazy. We have seen sailboats, yachts
like xoxo and Dancing Millie, and even My Reward showed up on Christmas
Day. We first met the captain of My
Reward at the fuel dock in Jacksonville a couple of years ago.
Christmas day we relaxed while opening our stockings then
Garth and Kathy joined us for our traditional Christmas Morning Strata and a
little eggnog. Later we all piled into the tender and set out for a leisurely
exploration of the surrounding waters. A
perfectly lovely day.

After much jiggling, juggling and repetitious dialing we did
talk to most of our family. Hope you all
had a most Merry Christmas!
