Just before the sun poked over the horizon on Thursday, May 1, 2025

Today was the 16 year anniversary of when Eric and Christi completed our circumnavigation (it took two years and two days). We were pleased to be celebrating this anniversary while actively cruising once again.
While we’ve cleaned the waterline a couple of times in the Bahamas, we haven’t cleaned the bottom since Panama. Eric decided his project for the day was to clean the bottom. It was the worst he’d ever seen it. Normally, it takes one tank of air to do the bottom. He went through two tanks of air before he was simply too tired to keep going, and he still had a long way to go.
After he was done, we went to town. We had lunch at the yacht club again. As we were leaving, we noticed a crowd around the corner of the dock where we’d seen all the sharks the other day. We couldn’t believe how many sharks there were.
People were petting the sharks!
