How do you rescue an octopus?This is the story of our voyage to the Bahamas. It is a positive narrative; a testimonial to human kindness. We discovered the warmth and hospitality of the Bahamian people. We found a supportive community of fellow boaters. We visited small villages and beached our dinghy on uninhabited islands. We explored caves and snorkeled in a three dimensional underwater world. We stared back at iguanas. We coped with adverse weather, groundings, mechanical breakdowns, health worries, and a bout with the Gulf Stream.We rescued an octopus.
