We were invited to have “dinner” with Fred who is the head of the Bahamas Defense here in the Exuma Land & Sea park. It is Father's Day and to celebrate we had a nice big hearty meal consisting of steak, barbecue chicken, ribs, potato salad, peas and rice, salad, and plantains. We ate while Micheal Jackson the movie was playing and everything was so delicious that we pretty much ate in silence. After eating until we couldn't eat anymore we chatted a bit with Fred and he had to leave to go on a fishing trip with one of the park wardens, Justin (?), so he left us with Saunders to keep us company. We got to talking with Saunders and found out he works in the IT department for the Bahamas Defense. He was here for a break from his regular post. Everyone we met here has been so friendly and nice except for the guy, Andrew (I believe) who was the white guy we first met here and also informed us that we couldn't pay to use the internet because we weren't on a mooring ball. We don't understand why this makes sense because they are only losing money by not allowing everyone access to their amenities by requiring certain stipulations, but maybe the guy recognized us and wanted to give us a hard time. The people from Moxie told us they went to the office to use the internet the other day and they were anchored out so I don't know. We didn't talk to them afterward so maybe they couldn't use it either, who knows. Fred was super nice and even gave us a bag of precious ice when we left. We were so full that we were practically waddling out of there. We haven't eaten so much food in a really long time. For me I think it was when I was back in California the last time I stuffed myself with food. We returned back to the boat and took naps and read the rest of the day. We had a light dinner and watched a movie because we had so much power from the wind generator keeping our batteries full. Then we went out on deck and did some star gazing enjoying the wind blowing in our hair. It is so quiet and peaceful here under the stars and with enough wind to keep the bugs away from our boat. :)
