Freeport, Bahamas


Freeport, Bahamas

     The Bahamas, as you already know, consists of beautiful water in varying shades of intense blue, interspersed with low, green islands, with a constant sea breeze. That’s about it, and it’s quite enough. They are, however, being invaded by large resort hotels, including the floating Carnival species.  We could see the big Atlantis resort looming in the distance.   I was mesmerized by the numerous container ships in and out of the port, and how quickly they could load them, though have no idea what the Bahamas exports. Will get back to you on that. Danny and I walked from our ship past the trinket stands and bawdy T-shirt shops, and found a lovely rocky beach with the clearest water I’ve ever seen out side of a swimming pool. It was very inviting, but for the “shark feeding area” sign!




       We left Freeport yesterday afternoon, 24 hours ago, and are now at 70 degrees longitude, 28 degrees latitude, give or take a few minutes. It is amazing to look out on blue ocean in all directions, just amazing.
