Hinde And Seek With The Wind

We arrived in the Abacos Bahamas 28 Dec 2016 and we have been having a rousing game of hide and seek with the wind ever since. Our problem is, the wind is much more skilled at this game than we are. He closes his mouth, counts to 100, us hiders have to get to home refuge before the wind finds us, he always finds us.  Even though its someone else’s turn to be the seeker, oh lets say sun or heat… the wind has become a bully and insists on being seeker in every round.  

3 Jan 2017 We hide from a NNE wind in Great Sale Cay, but no faster did we tuck in when the wind decided to turn to the south and we fled to…

4 Jan 2017 Little Great Sale Really there was nothing there other than a big beautiful rock to keep us hidden and it did a great job…for a night, then the sneaky wind decided to turn NNE again 

5 Jan 2017 On the advice of another player we decided to try hiding at Double Breasted, but even on a high tide, calm wind we couldn’t slip in, so we decided to do some exploring with the dingy, and have a snorkel. The SSW wind started to build so we quickly ran back to Great Sale Cay before the high winds caught us.  

5 Jan 2017 Great Sale Cay The wind is intent on keeping us all hiding and we must all be getting better at this silly game because we are all back in this awesome hide, amateur move by wind as he seems to have forgotten to look here again so we play Mexican Train Dominoes, explore, and get new hair cuts. Really the coverage was great, the company was awesome, but as with every new player we got antsy we thought the wind wavered a little so we ran to… 

11 Jan 2017 Fox Town Harbor hiding from an east wind. I liked Fox Town, really there is nothing here except two small grocery stores, and a restaurant with the best cracked conk, cold beer and wifi. Problem is the wind is a little ticked and is picking up, its just not protected enough here so we ran to…

13 Jan 2017 Allen Cay, to hide from the east wind. It is definitely the most interesting stop yet. You can walk across to the ocean side and explore the beautiful beach, poke around rock shelfs for lobster, practice splicing lines, bake bread…but I think I hear the wind counting, 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi…come out, come out, wherever you are.
