Greetings From Freeport, Bahamas!

Howdy Folks -

Nelle and I are now in Freeport and working on the schooner "Liberty Clipper" as we get ready to start the charter season out of Nassau. We are doing fine now after a long cold trip down from Boston! We did October & November in the Chesapeake and then left Ft. Lauderdale for Freeport the day after Thanksgiving.

Yesterday we snorkeled on Deadman's Reef near the West End of the island. Truth upon truth and without lying - the snorkeling was kind of sad because most of it is dead wiht that grey, brown dead fuzz all over it, fish were small and few, then we saw the hopeful signs of a hawksbill turtle and a spotted eagle ray. That was it. Back to the beach for a Sands vs Kalik beer taste test and a Conch Fritter appetizer. After that we went back to the boat.

more later!
