West Wind Club Nassau

... off the bus! The bus was exceptionally clean, the seats covered in plastic and gospel music playing on the radio. Every person who got on the bus, including the young guys, said "Good day" as a greeting. The door to the bus was in the middle, so the greeting was to everyone on the bus! It was a great way to spend an hour and $1.25. The bus dropped us off right in front of the marina so we ducked across the street to ...

... 5/can and pretty scarce! Cheetos Story When we chartered in the BVIs, I was craving Cheetos and couldn't find them anywhere on the islands. The next time we chartered, in my little carry-on, I packed two bathing suits, two pairs of shorts, one sundress, 4 tee shirts and 20 bags of Cheetos and assorted snacks. That was for one week. For this trip I brought 10 large cans of Cheetos among other snacks. They're allll gone! Anyway ...

... in the Bahamas. She has about 15 new washing machines and 15 new dryers. It is so clean ...it really is the nicest laundry in the islands. Rockside has a dinghy dock so it will be convenient tomorrow to come in and do laundry if the winds and waves calm down. We popped our heads in to buy some tokens and met Carolyn and Robert from Moondance ( a 27' Vega.) They had the mooring ball in front of us (or behind depending on tide) at ...

... a 7' draft (owned by the French woman who rescued Dave) and that's as far as they went into the pond. We went to bed around nine. I was ready around 7:30 but figured I'd then be up at 4AM! The boat was hobby horsing when it wasn't rocking side to side so I moved to the salon and gave Dave the whole v-berth to get his body right with the movement. Woke up around 2AM to quiet and little ...

... the plug rather than the actual sensor which looks the same as the plug but has a wire on it - Duh) We had a soak in the hot tub at the marina swimming pool and then had drinks on board Rafiki with Dave and Christie from Sea Mist. Another early night after a good meal on board. Today the wind is still quite strong from the north but we think we can have a day at anchor at Manjack Cay before the next lot of fronts come through and we move onto Green Turtle Cay.

... for me and an american, nice enough and before dark, i was again into the water to reach the Quasar, 800 meters away (first time for me on such a long distance, because i'm a very heavy stone...) On the way, ten meters away from me i saw this dark shape, familiar but unknown. God i went cold and deadly hot at the same time, i skiped a breath. It was moving slowly on the sea ground in my direction. I didn't move looking the all time ...

Here are some San salvador pics. Here is a pic now on the left. Now here is a pic on the right. This was a neat house. The family living in it was very nice and was selling wooden figures.

... we shopped a little and then headed back to the ship for our sea scooter snorkeling excursion. We rode a catamaran out of the harbor and got a brief tour of the rich people's houses along the water (Oprah, Tiger Woods, Anna Nicole Smith, Nicholas Cage, etc.) and then got to swim around using these sea scooters that help propel you through the water. They actually were pretty useful since the current was fairly strong ...

... nice memory! Now it is time for your first full dinner on the ship. You will always have numerous options for dinner, but I generally choose the dining room. They have fabulous selections of food, and remember that if you don't like what you have, send it back and order something else. Don't hesitate. The Chefs will not be offended. They would rather remedy your dissatisfaction on the spot. Many of today's cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean ...
