Hotel California


There is a very long list of people who came to Grand Bahama for just a visit and have never really left, coming back time after time.  Leslie and Mitch ( front right and front left) may soon join their ranks. They've recently retired and live on their boat Absolutely (a power boat but we've forgiven them for that). They dropped anchor in our bay and one day Chris decided that they needed to be invited ashore. It is indeed a small world - they both grew up in Stratford! They motored all the way down here, intending to cruise through the Abacos before returning north. Despite our warnings that this place is like the song Hotel California ("you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave") they changed their plans and are staying here (marina just down the canal from us) until they go back home in the spring.

PS: A short time later a sailboat anchored in our bay and onboard was??? You guessed it, more people from Stratford.
