Sir Charles Nassau

... walking through the yellow pages trying to locate various sources for this impeller. He called all the local places in Nassau - the Evinrude dealer said they'd have it in10 days; other places didn't have it but kept referring him around Nassau. He did call a place in the Abacos and they thought they'd have one by mid-May! Oh joy! Before our hard-target search began, we decided we'd head to Winn Dixie first and get ...

... cays. Boats with the big twin outboards get stolen, taken to Andros and brought up the multitude of creeks, dismantled and on a boat to the US within hours. Hopefully, no one wants a pokey old sailboat with a leaky dinghy and a temperamental engine! April 26, 2009.....still blowin'. We went to the Park Office to pick up some ice and joined a new PPDG assembled on the front porch. Nothing exciting happening in the ...

... a while and probably really get to know the community. We finally came to a small sign that said Fruit and Vegetable Stand and pointed across the street. We walked up the hill and there was a compound of about three houses particularly well kept. They are similar to the Perriwinkles in NSB only a little larger. We asked the girl getting on her bike whether the fruit & vegetable stand was up here and she pointed to the house behind the one ...

... spring, he pulled the starter rope and engine came to life! Runs like a race horse now and idles OK too. We explored the caves to the north end and the sandbar - particularly the one we spent the night on and then the next afternoon. The beaches are bleached white. The caves hang over the crystal clear water. It is too beautiful. And we are still the only boat in this anchorage. Life is good!

... while the men were at work hand carving masks & walking sticks. We wandered through the streets & decided to taste the local 'Kalik' Bahamian beer. We were given 2 bottles in brown paper bags & sent on our way! We walked the streets, beer in a bag in hand & walked along the bright blue seafront, watching two local girls gutting fresh fish, two people being baptized in the sea & a guy riding his horse along the waters edge. We spent most of ...

... Curly Tails. We met up with Rosie from our boat rental source, there, and after buying her a drink she spilled the beans on which boat was actually ours . . . the Cheryl Ann! We slipped on to her after we left the bar but not until the leader of the band let Tom know that he really knows how to dance and has it "ALL TOGETHER." If you've ever seen Tom dance, you would know that this is so true. Day 2. Up and at 'em! The boat is incredible. 4 staterooms and 4 heads with ...

... tonight, so that'll be an interesting task. Tina will do some power packing as I take the girls out to play somewhere. It'll work. We're both looking forward to stepping into our own place again believe it or not. 2 more days of travel and another vacation bites the dust. Here's to not getting pooped on on the plane, and safe safe travels. One more ta go when we return to YK to cap the travelpod off with some do's and don't's! 

... 1!). He told me he liked men who wore pink shirts. I thought he just meant that he liked them cause they were confident enough to do it or something.. Then he said he had some 'stuff' for me... came back in like 5 minutes.. Insists I close the curtains and all the doors.. At this point I was like, hmm a bit weird, but Im bigger so I can probs take him if I need to.. lol.. anyway, he empties his pockets of all these vouchers to strip clubs, night ...

... of sun. We had the beach mostly to ourselves, other than a mother and son, and one gregarious local fellow who tried his had at flirting with us. Leanne's friend P came and picked us up in her spiffy Mini convertible and took us down to the Arawak Caye Fish Fry for lunch. It's basically a block full of brightly painted restaurants and bars serving fresh seafood and tropical cocktails. I tried the conch salad, conch fritters, and some local ...

... process. You'll walk through an x-ray machine and metal detector, just as you did at the airport. Once you've cleared the metal detector, you're ready to proceed to the check-in desk to process your documentation. Remember, you received the documents ahead of time, so have them completely filled out, and all you will need to do is hand them to the staff person, along with your passport and credit card. The credit card number is taken to create your ...
