Saturday 16th August
So you know the saying early to bed early to rise ... that didnt quite work. We were departing from Nassau for Andros at 8am (check in at 7am) and for one I was still in bed when Rose came to pick me up! Sarah and Al's car kept breaking down enroute and it was really touch and go to make the ferry!
The goodbye was emotional many tears mainly from Rose! After our departure the ferry ride took just over two and a half hours. With an amazing encounter with flying fish (or birds the debates still rages.)
We were greeted by Rev Mark Christmas and taken to our respective home stays, after depositing our belongings we met at the Christmas' house and had lunch and a discussion about what we are doing. Today was really just a settling in to the relaxed style of Andros life, really really laid back!
The difference between the city life of Nassau and the sparseness of Andros is vast. It is a really nice change and we are all looking forward to our change in pace but still a packed programme.

It's exhausting just keeping up with you lot! Keep on keeping on, sounds like you are doing really well. We prayed for you at Higher Beb tonight, as we munched our way through goodies. And it's still raining here! Love to you all, we miss you too, but feel blessed to share your experience. with love, Chris J
