The arrival of the MV Legacy is always of interest to us.
We see what comes in the settlement each week; food for the groceries
and restaurants, building equipment for hardware stores and homeowners,
golf carts, cars, and lots of other stuff. Each week it is different.

Legacy has a permanent crane and two fork lifts
that move the cargo from and to the boat. The fork lift drivers are
magic. Their machines 'dance' on the deck, cargo hold, and dock
without mishap. We have only missed one Legacy arrival these two
seasons and never witnessed an accident.

Captain Rick is responsible for navigation, safety, and
operations of the Legacy. We see the captain every Thursday, but until
recently we didn't know his role. The Legacy's route starts at Nassau,
heads to Marsh Harbour, then GTC after stops in Great Guana. We often
track Legacy's progress on the MarineTraffic app and share the
information to the folks here.

Agent Julie and crew member Fargo are GTC members
of the Legacy team that perform the administrative and logistics support
for the Legacy at GTC. Julie is responsible for the accountability for
each package or pallet. Fargo interfaces with fellow crew to position
the unloaded cargo where the customers can pick it up. One day he
brought star fruit for the crew and us observers to enjoy.

We have our place at the Government Dock. We share it all
the time. This day we were with cruisers (SV Modaki and MV Bucket
List). In the early days we were just lurkers. Now we are interested observers. The experience is engrossing. There is stuff going on everywhere
for over two hours. No breaks and no delays.
