2007 Official Visit of Boynton Lodge No. 236 F&AM to Arawak Lodge No. 8877 in Freeport, Grand Bahama. At 5:30am on Friday, 20 April 2007, ten Freemasons and eight of their wives and Ladies were treated to VIP status aboard the cruise ship Discovery in Ft. Lauderdale. They assembled at the Dock in Port Everglades and made comfortable in their cabins by a crewmember specially assigned to them by the ship. As the cruise liner set sail from the Port at 7:30am, all members of the party were treated to a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the main dining hall. Though the seas rolled during the crossing through the Gulf Stream, the music, the cocktails on deck under a powder-blue sky, and the pure, clean sea-air provided our little party tremendous refreshment as we sailed our way across to Grand Bahama. Our special Crew took our vouchers and safely loaded everyone with their luggage on the waiting Vans that took us to Port Lucaya. Once there, we checked in and were treated to wonderful views of the harbour from our hotel rooms. At 5:45pm, our Party assembled in the lobby. The ladies were escorted to “Le Med” in Port Lucaya, and entertained by the wives and Ladies of our Bahamian Brethren. The Freemasons were transported to Arawak Lodge. Formal Lodge commenced at 6:30pm. Right Worshipfuls, Past Masters and the Brethren processed out and into the Dining Room at 9pm. The young man who had received the Entered Apprentice degree earlier, assisted as a Steward serving wine to the Brethren as they presented the Toasts of the evening. Harmony prevailed and the Festive Board ended with a toast to “all absent Brethren”. The next day dawned bright and cool. Our entire Party assembled with the Brethren of Arawak and Abaco’s Carlton Lodge for a breakfast by the water at “Le Med”. Some of us feasted on traditional Bahamian Breakfasts, like “Boil Fish and Johnnycakes” or “Sous Chicken”. We splintered into our own groups as the girls went shopping and the men walked across to the Resort Hotels on the beach to talk Masonry over cocktails in the afternoon sun. At 5:45pm, everyone assembled in casual dress in the lobby. Our Bahamian Brethren transported us in their cars to The Britannia Yacht Club for a buffet dinner of conch, fish and assorted delicacies under the stars. The evening turned cooler and everyone moved into the Restaurant as the birthday cake for Arawak’s Worshipful Master was presented. The next day again dawned cool and bright as we assembled once more for breakfast down by the water in Port Lucaya. We checked out, said our good bye’s to our Bahamian Brothers and their ladies, and were on the boat at 2:30pm for a sumptuous, exclusive 7 course meal on the return journey to Port Everglades. Another Official Visit goes into the History Books, and the Masonic relationship between Boynton, Arawak and Carlton Lodges; and all the Lodges of the Caribbean continues to grow and flourish. Truly, Freemasonry is harmony. -R/W Richard E. Philpott Proud member of Boynton Lodge No. 236 F&AM And Arawak Lodge No. 8877
