Day #183 - West End, Grand Bahama
January 30th, 2009Woke to a beautiful day in Old Bahama Bay marina in West End. This marina/resort is top notch and we love the location. Brad and Patti ran into some other Loopers we had met in Demopolis, Joe and Judy in Northern Star. They are from Minnesota and have been here about three weeks. They told us that the house at the end of the marina, on the beach, belongs to the Travolta’s and that is where their son died a few weeks ago. Very sad and really puts a place to the story.

This is their home at Old Bahama Bay

The Travolta’s boat is here in the marina as well
I finally ventured off the boat, with ankle wrapped, and walked around the marina for a bit. Very nice facility and well taken care of.

The beach and pool area are just steps away from the marina.

The weather has changed and strong winds are expected for the next few days. A cold front is moving in so looks like our stay here will end up being longer than expected. Good thing we made the crossing yesterday as the weather isn’t expected to settle down until the middle of next week.

Not a bad place to be stranded.
