Guanahani Village Nassau

... shops, shops, shops, and we had thought of going to Paradise Island, however after a full day on the beach in Cococay the day before we opted to skip it this day.

The ship was packed to capacity. Food was good, Amenities were good, Service was good, Drinks were great, but pricy, the onboard gym was very good, and the seas were smooth. I speak for everyone when I say that this was another memorable outing.

A Night's Sail - May 4, 2009 - Spanish Wells to North Man Of War Channel, Abacos There are two routes from Spanish Wells to the Abacos. One is the Egg Island Cut about ten miles down the bank and the other route that could be shorter (if you're successful) is through Ridley Head and the Devil's Backbone (get the picture?). To do it successfully (without substantial risk), we would need to hire a pilot to take us through or ...

... and types of equipment they carry. Everyone has their own idea of what it takes to cruise - and it does not take much.... it takes what you're comfortable with! There are a lot of older, 1980's decade down here. Point one: You don't need a new boat. Moondance is the "Lynn Pardey" style of cruising. It is a 27' Vega very basically set up. Carolyn wanted more storage space so Robert took out the head and converted ...

... to the boats. The night was clear and the stars were so bright and I think God has added a couple million more stars to the sky! EASTER SUNDAY Today is another bright, mild day. We took the opportunity to dinghy over to the other side of the island, the tide wasn't running so strong and the winds were down so it was an easy trip. Pulled up to Butterfly Beach and walked around then dinghied over to Jubilee (Bill ...

N24 37.217 W076 48.479 At 9:30AM we took on 23 gallons of fuel and headed out to Norman Cay 34 miles from Porgee Rocks. We last took on fuel in Key Biscayne so used 23 gallons so far, a dah! As we left the marina in Nassau several of the boaters yelled "See you in the Exumas". We know of three boats coming down, eventually. One thing I've noticed, when we come into port, I tend to homestead, and it's hard to leave ...

... area with flying conch - I decided to purchase mine already prepared. I had a feeling it wouldn't be as good as the Abacos, but gave it a try and it wasn't. The Wrecking Tree on Green Turtle makes the best cracked conch. So, Capn Dave ended up with a larger lunch than anticipated because I donated my conch to him. Dick says when he offers up cracked conch - he goes down to Office Depot and buys up erasers and makes it with them. That's ...

... the States now and has had many plastic surgeries but she will never look like she once did. The reason Skye made the movie though is because no one was ever held accountable for the horrible acts done to Marina. He hopes that if he can raise awareness then the violence will not be tolerated or just swept under the mat. When I travel to Cambodia I will have the opportunity to meet with some of these women who have been affected by acid violence. Some ...

... s mythical garden." Those last three words did it for me, I am done with that crazy talk book and its psycho babble about what is scientifically "proven" and when and where and the "possible" whys of the rationale behind why people are the way they are. I have one word for why: God. So, I am going to be a closed minded person to the "science" behind human history. On the other hand, my time has been relaxing today but I am ready for tomorrow to get here. I am just ...

We spent one week in Nassau back in August. Nassau is a great little city with plenty to see and do. There are casinos, beaches, great restaurants and even some nightlife. We stayed at the Wyndham Crystal Palace Hotel and Casino, a great high-rise hotel on Cable Beach with a far better pool than they have beach access. The resort had a casino which could ...

Så kom vi til Karibien.... Til en søt, liten amerikanisert øy og byen Nassau. Vi la oss inn på et av mange resort som nesten var en egen by i seg selv men mange butikker og restauranter og en svær Casino. Det var ikke så fint vær på Bahamas som vi hadde håpet på, så å komme fra Buenos Aires og vamen der, føltes det nesten litt kladt! Første dag regnet det og blåste stiv kuling så til om meg strømmen ...
