Good morning

We are up and cleaning El Nido getting things all ship shape for Martin to arrive . We are off the dock very soon cruising over to Nassau where we will pick him up. There are great flight options into Nassau and from there you can take a small hopper flight to any of the Bahama Islands so it will be easy to find us next year if you are thinking of joining us :-)

The plan is to stay in the Atlantis marina until Saturday, I love this resort lots to do and a huge gym...oh man I need that! We are all gassed up and tucked in waiting for Martin to arrived his plane has landed, it's 12:15 our time, it will be fun to have company for next 5 days. What did I learn so far today if the wind is at your back always tie off the stern line first then toss the mid line...typically I tie off the mid ship line first.  

Martin arrived safe and sound after a short tour of El Nido we walked over to the resort if you remember its a 20 min walk to the gym from our boat there are so many mega super yachts in here this visit it's just incredible . Bryan and Martin enjoyed looking at the aquarium they have have a the resort and I went to the gym. The gym here is huge and fully equipped it felt so good to lift and I was pleasantly surprised at how strong I still was compared to 4 weeks ago :-)

I found the boys lounging at the pool having a nap from there we hung out on the cockpit then made our way to the boardwalk area for dinner and listened to a live jazz band that was playing. We shared a bar style table with 2 other couples from Rhode Island they have been vacationing together for 30 years and man they were funny this one lady must have started with her cocktails in the morning and she was hilarious, got Martin up to dance so Bryan and I joined them for one.

The full moon tonight was incredibly big tonight this is our second full moon on our journey, we've been gone a while.

It was a fun night.
