First up, a bit of explanation for those who may have been trying to reach us on the Bahamian number. Todd had an unfortunate mishap in the dinghy Wednesday, during which our Bahamian phone ended up at the bottom of Marsh Harbour. So, our 242 number is no good for now (unless you’re a fish, perhaps). We have reactivated our U.S. phone plan and can receive and send text messages on our 205 numbers until we travel beyond the reach of the Bahamian cell towers.
Now back to the journey.
Mission truly accomplished! Susie’s Mom has a new knee. It was a fairly typical “post-surgery” affair with the patient getting stronger each day and the physical therapy as the most important event.
Well, having visitors and getting all kinds of food and desserts is fun, too! 😉 But, getting up and around to regain independence remains the goal.
Stylish 87-year old Mom on her feet again with her new knee!
What was Todd up to while Susie was in Virginia? (Yeah, I know, poor thing “stranded” in the islands, right?)
Apparently, he got drug off the boat by Terry and Lynn to do some snorkeling, and if he’s underwater, he’s finding stuff.
Then there are the traditions of birdwatching and sunset watch.
With her mission accomplished and her mother doing well, Susie flew back to Marsh Harbour Thursday.
As we’ve mentioned, weather controls the options while in the islands. Soooo, as soon as we got back to the boat from the airport, we stowed the dinghy, raised anchor, bade farewell to the little turtle who kept an eye on Todd during his stay, and left the harbor for a three-hour cruise around the “whale” (you may remember that) to Green Turtle Cay.
No rest for the weary!
Then it was, captain and crew full lights out on the SaltyMare!
