Day 7 of Bahama living and true to form we have not traveled far and things have been pretty laid back in comparison to the last month of pushing south to warmer weather. Is it just in the air down here, or is it society as a whole that slows the pace of life? It may be a bit of both, but for Team Audax it can also be attributed to having a lovely guest with us for a few days, and the strong northerly winds, which have been blowing at 20 knots and up to 40!

Being anchored away from the general hub-bub in a safe anchorage has given us all a chance to read, watch Kill Bill Volume I (Volume II is on the menu for tonight), and try not to worry about getting somewhere else, but enjoy being here, right now! Everyone we have met and talked with thus far has said how jealous they are of us doing a trip like this, and wonders how we managed to do it. Along with that they usually tell us that this trip will have a huge impact on our lives, and thus it is so great we are doing it at a younger age. I think I am starting to realize what people are talking about and in doing so am changing how I look at sitting in a harbor unable to move! We need to enjoy the journey not worry about getting from A to B, when we do it, or even when we get there. This is a bit along the lines of my last post about just trying to enjoy the roses, and is obviously something I am working on in my life and I am sure is import for many others as well.

As you have read in John and Steve’s blogs we had a great time on New Years. I am sure the photos can attest to that fact. For myself a little less alcohol would have been in order, and would have made my night a little easier to remember. Having Stacy, Ryan, Katisha, and Team Audax together, along with the fact that it was New Years made for a fun night, which I am sure we can have more of when you all come to visit!
