Old Bahama Bay Marina

May 20, 2011.  We stayed at the marina today and took it easy.  I snorkeled off the jetty and saw lots of tropical fish.  Alexis stayed by the pool and enjoyed our surroundings.  The economy here in the Bahamas is in the dumps.  They rely on US tourism which is down.  This resort has been in receivership, but the marina is doing well.  Today is Friday and all sorts of sportfishing boats showed up from the US.  Many are small outboards, and the crew rent rooms here and fish during the day.  Just a mile off the jetty, the bottom drops to 1000’, so blue water fishing is nearby.  Tomorrow we head to Double Breasted Cay, and will have no internet.  We will be at Green Turtle Cay Club Wednesday and should be able to post then.  Life is good!
