Talk about the Bahamas made me think a bit of how different cruisers
are.
By nearly all accounts the Bahamas are a special place.
Could be "too special" is some respects.
I've been reading a journal of a cruiser who got that far and came to
a dead stop.
Been there for years now. Came home once or twice for various
reasons, but basically anchors at a couple spots in the Bahamas.
Life consists of poker parties, volleyball, diving for fish and
lobster, and eating.
The guy can sail, and prefers to hoist them when he moves to a new
volleyball/poke spot.
Though it's often boring reading the repetitious journal entries
of the above, he sure isn't bored enough to leave the Bahamas!
I've continued reading hoping he will sail to new places, but so far
he's content to bounce around a few Bahamas harbors.
OTOH, I've read journals where the cruiser enjoys the Bahamas for a
while, but wanderlust takes hold, and off they go to new places.
Just musing here about the nature of "cruisers."
They sure come in many guises.
It will be interesting to see how the Bahamas affect the travels of
Skip and Lydia.
I kind of suspect they are feeling the grasp of the islands.
Of course I could be entirely wrong.
