Our friends Danny & Joy and Chad & Kristi arrived from Colorado on Sunday morning. Of coarse, Mother Nature welcomed them with the coldest weather we've had since we've been in the Bahamas which made for a wet dinghy ride from the dock to Malaika.
Luckily, the weather has improved everyday & we've been having a blast!! We've sailed to a newisland each day. 1st stop was Hopetown. We climed to the top of the world famous Hopetown Lighthouse. Yesterday, we sailed from there to Treasure Cay which has one of the top ten beaches in the world. We have decided to stay here for another day to enjoy the beach some more. The sand is so white & so soft. BEAUTIFUL!!!
It's been so great having all the extra help sailing from 2 firefighters--they pull those sails up so fast! It's been so fun for me to have some girl time with Kristi & Joy! Good times happening on Malaika!Hope all is well!! Love & miss you. XXXOOO

Once again Scott and Michelle throw out or casual invitation and to their surprise or regret we show up, some day they will learn.
We have been home for 3 days now and have acclimated once again to the cold that comes with living in Colorado. Scott and Michelle your hospitality was second to none. From the moment we met a long haired scruffy Scott at the dock we felt completely welcome and at home aboard the Malaika
This trip was a so much fun; we really enjoyed the long conversations and getting to know you both even better than before. Before arriving we had no idea what it took to sail, or live aboard a sailboat. Thanks to team Malaika and their guidance we were moving sails, dropping anchors, conserving water, swabbing decks and pumping toilets. Personally, I feel like we earned the right to sport an anchor tattoo. In addition to the sailing, Michelle keeps a galley that serves up a variety of warm yummy meals, bottomless pots of coffee and fruity rum drinks that put a smile on your face.
Thank-you both so very much for this trip; the beauty of the turquoise Bahaman water, the endless soft sand beaches, and most importantly the time spent together will make for a long lasting memory. And of course we will see you again wherever you end up next.
