One last day in the Bahamas

I couldn’t resist doing one final post about our last day in the Bahamas for the 2024 season. We spent the morning getting ready for our crossing. I made spaghetti for Tuesday night’s dinner (which turned out to be tonight’s dinner as well) and Mark did some engine and fuel checks. We secured items inside the boat and on deck.

We decided to do a walk on the west side of Ginn Sur Mer (Grand Bahama Island). There’s a nice beach so we walked along it and came back through the abandoned development. It’s crazy to see how much was done before the project stopped. There are a few homes left to rot, concrete roads and interlocking brick sidewalks. You can see light posts, speed signs and even a few fire hydrants. It would be a great location for a zombie movie!!

So our dinghy is secured at the back. The table is down and set up to be our sleep area for the overnight part of our passage. We’re all ready to go!! It will be an early morning – getting up at 3 am and a long 30 + hours but by Wednesday evening, we’ll be popping our last bottle of bubbly!!

Making sure the dinghy doesn’t drift away while we are out walking.
This is part of the canal system. We’re tied up here for our walk.
Beach on west side looking north.
Same beach looking south.
Abandoned 3 story house right off the beach, facing west.
Would have had a wonderful view of the sunsets
Even had started to install an elevator.
The interior of the house – lots of broken glass.
Interlocking brick sidewalk and fire hydrant.
Another wreck of a house.
Leaving the canal, heading back to the boat.
Crimson Kathryn is ready to head home!
It’s a bed now – table is folded down!
Final sunset in the Bahamas for 2024.
