A fun way to spend an evening in the Bahamas
What do you do when there are lots of boats in the harbor
and beautiful sunsets each evening? You have a dinghy drift of course. What's
that you ask? Let me tell you.
At a designated time (a few hours before sunset), in a
designated place (just outside of the anchorage), the head dinghy arrives and
drops anchor.
Slowly more dinghies arrive. Then more and more come out to play.
Everyone ties up to at least one other dinghy and then we wait for everyone to
arrive. About an hour to an hour and a half before sunset, the head dinghy
lifts anchor and the party begins.
Food gets passed from dink to dink as we drift with the
current. Some stand up and try to make toasts, others pull their dink over to a
different dink to talk and drink. We drift. We talk. We drink. We eat.
As the sun starts to set, we gather our bowls and plates
from the food we brought to share.
The sun sets. Almost in unison, each dink unties. We say our
good nights. We start our motors. We head home.
Another wonderful night in paradise.
