... 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 ...

... but owners don't mind visitors in the island. Exumas are getting bought up and you need to get down and cruise it while there were still islands to hang out in. It doesn't appear as though the Exumas Trust has the clout to ward off the developers. The economy here is suffering also and the marinas are offering slips for very low dockage (by Bahama standards) because ...

... about 60 people were on the beach for dinner. Had a wonderful afternoon sitting with our friends we had met the night before (minus one couple who had left Easter AM - hope we see them again!). It was a perfect Easter. A feast to remember. Just before sun down Bo Bo the nurse shark came swimming by. We can hear the Bananaquits and other birds singing on shore - they sure sing pretty songs. As the sun set, we ...

... marina because our sheets were all wet and salty - so figured we'd get the laundry done before we leave for a month in the Exumas. Picking up lots of information here on where to go and the returnee's are asking lots of questions about anchorages north. Settled in with pasta and was asleep by 10:00. We certainly party hardy! Saturday, April 4th - We've lost a day. When I tore March off the ...

... to lassoo some of the pilings with the bight using Captain Jack's line throwing technique as demonstrated by him at boat shows... We had drinks on board Sea Mist and then dinner on board and an early night. Mon 16th the wind blew at 20 plus knots from the N as predicted.with big black clouds but not much rain. We went for walks. Fitted a fishing rod holder to the push-pit. Found the problem with speed log. (while in hurry up mode in Lake Worth Dave had re ...

Today was our first A day of class aboard the MS Explorer. The class schedule aboard is divided into A and B days with different classes meeting on each. Since we really are pressed for time in class, we have class everyday we are at sea except for a few exceptions. I had Global Studies with everyone on campus on A and B days from 9:20am-10:35am. It's a requirement for everyone on the ship because we learn about the countries that we will be ...

... up our treasure. Pirates had stolen it so they told us it would be delivered to our stateroom later. It was now time for lunch so we all headed over to Cookie's BBQ. We finished lunch in time for Regan and me to go to our Personal Watercraft tour. I had never been on a jet ski before and so it was a new experience. We went around the island and made a stop where we were told information about the Bahamas and some of the ocean and plant life around the ...

... wedding will take place in the paradise island which is connected with a bridge to Nassau Island where the terminal is located. The paradise island is the cherry above the cream with the best sandy beach and unique hotels. The small size of it creates the perfect atmosphere of what we fantasize about tropic islands. The first Friday dinner was just three hours ahead, just about when I realized they forgot to bring my luggage and if I am lucky I will ...

I went to Nassau on this special day of 25 December to witness the JUNKANOO. An annual festival in the Bahamas. It was a live, loud, colourful, joyous, festive celebration for all Bahamians each year. Standing at the side of the street for about 6 hours until early morning of 26 December. You would never even notice how time pass as the lively sound, strong beat of drums, vibrant ...

... him. "Did you see it?" she asked. We both shook our heads. "There was a big fish," she said then. "I think it was a shark." Well, as you can imagine, John and I both exited the water rather fast, but we hadn't seen any shark. It may have been a small basking shark, I don't think it was one that bites anyway! We had a rest before lunch on one of the hammocks on the hill overlooking the beach. Although they were designed for two people to ...
