Sheep Tongue Anyone?

On what will be our last day on Bimini, we are chilled with cool breezes as the sun hides out behind the clouds. What better weather to enjoy some local cuisine? 

Saturday is Souse Day at "A Taste of Heaven" Bakery and Souse House. Miss Tami bakes delectable breads and pastries, but today we were interested in the souse, a lime-y broth concoction consisting of our choice of chicken, stewed conch, or sheep's tongue. Miss Tami was kind enough to let me sample the sheep's tongue and although I opted for the stewed conch, I would be lying if I said it was less than delicious! 

Adjusting to life on the high seas...

I have never written a blog, but recently I have been keeping two journals (thank you KP and Cheryl) to log my adventure, and as available internet and post offices become limited, I think this will be an awesome way to keep everyone updated on where we are on our trip! By we, I mean the crew of San San, the 36' Ericson sailing vessel that will be our home and our transportation over the open waters of the Eastern Caribbean! Our Captain Gordon (or GR), and the crew Jessica (my sister), Gia (my niece) and myself have successfully traveled to Bimini in the Bahamas thus far.

I enjoyed two weeks in Miami before we set sail toward the Caribbean. We arrived in Bimini and cleared customs Tuesday. Exploration of the island on foot revealed the bluest waters I have ever seen and small stores, homes painted in bright, festive colors, and friendly locals. ["Hi Hi!"]

Today, I tested out my new snorkel gear and water proof camera exploring the wreck of Sapona off the coast of the island as we explored the area in the dinghy. 

More pics and posts to come!
