Sometimes it has to be as far as the Bahamas

I'm sure, all of you already have experienced this - you are at remote location, far away from home, and then unexpectedly you meet with somebody, which you haven't met for a long time.

Exactly this happened to us today. We went to the beach and noticed, that there are some people in the water, speaking Swiss German. This is the first the second time in two weeks, when we found Swiss people here. So we headed there and started talking to them. Very quickly it turned out, that they were friends of Marco, which he haven't met for 20 years or more! All converted from the six pack in the old days to a one pack at present and grow older. So we did not recognize each other in the first place. Urs Bögli, with his wife Barbara and friends. Long time ago, we all played together in a carnival orchestra. Urs and I joined the Jungwacht, a kind of a boys scout organization in Switzerland.

It was an entirely unexpected and very pleasant get together after all. The will stay for couple of days on the catamaran, which they chartered for two weeks in Marsh Harbour.

Sometimes, you have to go far, to find people, you haven't seen for decades. You can look at the horizon and certainly you will agree, the world is really big, and all of a sudden, it's smaller than the town, you were raised at. What a small world you then may say!
