Eleuthera, Bahamas

Braving Interstate 95 and the nutty drivers that make Florida highways a religious experience we arrived at the Fort Lauderdale airport safe and on time. The rest of the day was island time.

Utilizing one of the biggest planes to frequent the North Eleuthera International Airport we spent just a few minutes checking in, went out to the runway to retrieve our checked luggage and passed customs in a breeze. 


Our host arraigned a cab/ferry for us. The driver dropped us on the dock and left to put his cab in a dockside garage. Following the advice of an airline pilot who shared the cab I made a quick run to the dockside liquor store for some cheap Bahamian dark rum. The cab driver (now ferry captain) was waiting when I got back to the boat. 

Spanish Wells is only accessible by boat.

Our host for the month, Lucia, met us at the dock, gave us a quick tour of town in her golf cart, then showed us home for the month.

We have a one bedroom apartment comprising the whole second floor and a great deck on the back.

Of course De Anne had to see the beach right away.
