... have taken some of our rests down below where it was warmer. I hit that settee and slept soundly until 7:30. It could have been exhaustion but I think it was more comfort - dry and warmer. Anyway - I popped up refreshed at 7:30 AM, just in time to come about and take our heading into the North MOW Channel. Dave said, "It's a good thing we didn't choose the South MOW Channel, there is a freighter in that channel on the rocks ...

... here is made to order so we waited about 30 minutes while watching CNN on the TV in the corner. When the plate came out it was heaping and absolutely delicious! Charlie the Third came out and talked with us a bit. This was a restaurant for locals. You had to know it was here otherwise you'd walk right by. They do plan to get a sign in the future, but all the locals already know where it is. The Economy Line ...

... off groceries and then heading to Eluthera or going Nassau straight to Little Harbor. We have used the last of our 6 gallon jerry jugs so currently have about 40 gallons of water on board. We have averaged three gallons a day between showers and dishes and cooking. I mostly use the raw water (outside salt water) to do the dishes with a quick rinse of fresh water when they're clean. The raw water pump at the sink is a life saver. Showers are 1-2 ...

... put the cover back on the anchor windless so now we had water in our v-berth from a leak around the windless. Finally half way through the trip we changed our heading and had the waves hitting us on the beam and it wasn't so wet. Arrived in Warderick Cay anchorage at 12:30PM. The north anchorage is by reservation which we picked up yesterday and it's mooring balls only. If you want ...

... Disney Wonder, Carnival Sensation A private yacht - The Grand Bleu carries it's own sailboat. Boat so large I had to take pictures in parts. Nassau Harbor is not that large - I was amazed that within a few minutes of passing the cruise ships we were going under the Paradise Island bridges and entering the marina at the other end of the harbor. Nassau is also a hard working harbor with ...

... across the Sea of Abaco all the way to Man O War Cay. We had to watch our chart very carefully as in many places it had warnings "uncharted rocks and coral heads in this area" so we tacked away with a good margin of error. It took us 6 hours but we enjoyed a beautiful warm day with much more wind than forecast. We approached the anchorage outside Man O War (the channel is restricted so we ...

Today was A2 aka our second day of A block classes. In global studies this morning we talked about the history of Cuba and Haiti as well as how the weather influences the climate which in turn influences the way people look, act, and migrate to certain areas. It was really interesting because we looked at how the climate changes as the latitude varies and saw that countries half way across the world have similar landscapes due to their location on the ...

... st*y in the w*ter too long. In the second stop, we were informed th*t it w*s the setting of the J*ws 4 movie wherein the J*w bit the *irpl*ne. P*rt of the *irpl*ne wreck*ge w*s *t the bottom. You see more fish here *nd different v*riety. I cut my inner thigh *s I w*s trying to removed my fins before climbing the bo*t. The w*ves w*s re*lly brut*l. My two DDs were *lre*dy se* sick. The third stop w*s the ...

... was 11 years old and it scared the **** out of me. I went again in 2005 and so a year later it wasn't any different. I remembered exactly where the Starbucks was and I fully intended to drop in and grab a Frappuccino just so I could say I've had Starbucks in two different countries, but sadly that didn't happen. We caught a cab right outside ...

From the journal: "Today we went on our guidebook's walking tour because our clothes still weren't back from the airline. We were accosted by a fake tourguide trying to extort money from us. He told us the history of the Queen's Staircase and then begged for money. We said no. In the fort at the top ...
