Greetings,
I don't hear too much from Jim and Rosi these days, but they sent a message
back with Wolfgang Holdik who was just out visiting them. The following is
the message they sent back with him (from the Bahamas via Germany and
Louisiana! :-)
REMEMBER US? WE DIDN`T FORGET YOU BUT INTERNET ACCESS SIMPLY
ISN`T AVAILABLE IN THE EXUMAS. THE TELEPHONE OUTAGES FROM "TOWER PROBLEMS"
IN THESE ISLANDS ARE GIVING EVERYONE TROUBLE; BUT THE PEOPLE WITH POCKETMAIL
ARE DOING BETTER.
SINCE OUR LAST MESSAGE WE PARTICULARLY ENJOYED A BRIEF STAY IN LITTLE
HARBOUR (AN ARTIST COMMUNITY, WHOSE ENERGY NEEDS ARE MET ONLY WITH SOLAR
POWER) ON THE SOUTHEAST END OF GREAT ABACO. AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF TRIP
PLANNING WE HAD AGOOD OVERNIGHT PASSAGE TO THE EXUMAS. THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL EXUMAS SEEMED MORE RUSTIC AND LESS DEVELOPED THAN THE ABACOS. BUT WE
DID WELL WITH FINDING CONCH AND HAD LEARNED TO READ THE DEPTH OF WATER EVEN
WITH CORAL HEADS AND REEFS BY COLOR.THE UNDERWATER BEAUTY AT EXUMA PARK ON
WARDERICK WELLS ISLAND WAS IMPRESSIVE. WE EVEN GOT USED TO SWIMMING WITH
SHARKS AND BARACUDAS. WE THOROUGHLY LOVED THE COMMUNITY WITH 60 RESIDENTS
ON LITTLE FARMER`S
CAY WHERE WOLFGANG AND ELKE JOINED US. TOGETHER WITH THEM WE STOPPED AT SOME
BEAUTIFUL REMOTE ANCHORAGES ON THE WAY TO GEORGETOWN; WHERE WE
SUDDENLY JOINED A GROUP OF 400 BOATS. AS WE BID THEM FAREWELL WE LOOK
FORWARD TO VISITING WITH MARCUS AND FAMILY AFTER THIS NEXT COLD FRONT PASSES
AT THE END OF THE WEEK.
AS ALWAYS ALLES GUTE FROM
JIM AND ROSI<
