Day #239 – West End, Bahamas

Today is the windiest day we have had in some time.  Several of the large fishing boats that arrived from Florida yesterday are still here at the dock and even they didn’t go out.

We rode bikes out to the break wall in Old Bahama Bay to get some exercise and see other sites.  The head wind was incredibly strong and you really had to work hard on the single speed bikes.  When we got out there a cruise ship was going by headed to Freeport.

The winds are coming from the south at about 25 miles per hour which makes the Atlantic side very rough.  Waves in the gulf stream are reported to be 6-9 feet again today.

We walked over to the Sea of Abaco side and it was a much different story.  We even spotted a few string rays floating in the calm water.

While we were out on the point we spotted this ship trying to make its way into the marina.  The were really pitching and rolling and it appeared they had come all the way from Florida.  When it docked, it was apparent that it is a commercial dive boat.  Not sure how happy the paying customers were for their experience in the ride over.

The curly tail lizards are everywhere and they look to be having such fun.  They make me smile.
