Stocking Island - Gearing up for the new normal

Sunday morning and work angst is starting to set in. I’ve been off for 5 ½ fantastic weeks, but tomorrow it’s back to it. It will be the start of the new normal; working remotely from an anchorage with cell coverage somewhere in the Bahamas. Nose to computer 40 hours per week, but in the shade of the cockpit overlooking turquoise waters - I shall manage ok. And perhaps couple that with yoga on the fore-deck in the morning, then a dip into crystal clear water before work? And a beach walk with Lucy before dinner? Yes, I’ll do just fine.
For Chris too it’s the new normal of a sabbatical or retirement or whatever it shall be called. He’s ready for it - no angst there. And no worries about staying busy, there are endless big and little projects to be tackled, along with the ongoing maintenance of a full-time live-aboard cruising sail boat.
We are currently anchored by Stocking Island, across from Georgetown. We got down here on New Year’s Eve from Emerald Bay Marina. It’s a nice spot to stay put for a little while. Georgetown is a short dinghy ride away for groceries, etc. Stocking Island is mostly undeveloped and has trails leading across to the ocean and along the island and a few beach places to grab lunch or dinner. We did a short hike with a long beach lunch yesterday. Today the plan is for a long hike, a few good swims and then kicking back enjoying the last day of the extended break. 2022 is off to a good start.
