Long Island/Calabash Bay

Long Island/Calabash Bay (February 21-25, 2013)

Jim closely watched for a good weather window and decided it best to make a stop at Calabash Bay to wait out some high winds and surge before heading on to Rum Cay.

We sailed into Calabash Bay along with 3 Canadian sailing vessels: Hali, Vivachy and Trudy Mae and were met with a coastline of beautiful homes, Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort and Stella Maris Resort and Marina.

In keeping humor with our respective roles, the men a/k/a "Hunters," spent the day lobstering while the women a/k/a "Gatherers," hitchhiked into town to while away the day gathering beers and plantains at a local restaurant/bar.  Who had more fun?  We all did.

While the women were quite successful in gathering what we needed for our afternoon happy hour, the Hunters also had a successful day hunting and brought home several lobsters for dinner.

Dinner!!!

Oven roasted veggies

Jim grilled the lobster to perfection, while I prepared what has become my signature dish of oven roasted vegetables.  We then joined our fellow cruisers for a potluck dinner on the beach, which turned out to be a remarkable evening of great food, laughter and great memories.  

This is living!!!
