Today I’m doing a little different type of post since I’m not where I usually am. And I want you to guess where it is that I am. 🙂 Here are a few clues:
- Earlier today I was onboard a ship.
- The wind almost always blows here.
- Sometimes only one ship comes into port to dock but there can be as many as nine.
- The government buildings are either pink and white or green and white.
- Tourism is the biggest industry, but it used to be sponging.
- They have their own dollar, and the currency is equal to the US dollar.
- A James Bond movie was made here.
Okay, Super Sleuths, where am I? Next week I’ll draw the winner for February–I meant to draw this week, but I realized anyone who answered today wouldn’t be in the drawing. And if you can tell me which James Bond movie was made here, you’ll get an extra entry.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question:
State police broke up a family-run ring of thieves who were responsible for more than 130 break-ins. What was their undoing?
- There was a family squabble, and one of the brothers turned the others in.
- The police infiltrated the ring and were able to bring them to justice.
- They got too greedy and returned to one of the houses they’d already burglarized, but the owner had installed a sensitive security system with a camera. Smile.
- One of the thieves wore a court-ordered electronic monitoring device while he committed the crime.
And the answer is….a lot of you guess it…#4! Can you believe anyone would be that stupid??

Hi Ellen! Not saying if you’re correct, but I will tell you it is very beautiful!
Tarpon Springs, Florida?
Author
Hmmm, Sandra. That’s a really nice place…
I was in Tarpon Springs this weekend! Fresh grouper at Rusty Bellies was a highlight.
Author
Oh, wow! Johnnie. I know you had fun!!
Bahamas? and the James Bond movie was Thunderball.

Hi Anne, great guess…we’ll see next Tuesday if you’re right.
I was thinking Chicago with the first two clues, because you could have been out on Lake Michigan. Then with the rest I had to choose The Bahamas and Thunderball.

Chicago? Really? 🙂 We’ll see, Jan.
Patricia, I found a site that said 4 Bond movies were made in the Bahamas: Thinderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, Never Say Never, Again and 2006 Casino Royale!

Paula, you did good! 🙂 I probably should have said I visited a site that was in the movie. And I’m on a working cruise, pitching a new cozy series and pitching to a great movie producer.
Oops auto correct again! Thunderball!
Wow! Lucky you! Are you doing research or a nice vacation?
Wow, Patricia, that would be awesome! Keep us updated!
It’s not fair for me to comment since I get to enjoy the same working/writing cruise and got to help draft today’s questions. I’m enjoying optimal working retreat conditions w/ you 🙂

🙂 So glad to be on the trip with you.

No need to toss my name in for the book…as I just got it in the mail today (Thurs 2nd of March). Thank you!! Always fun to read & guess on your blog 🙂
