Nassau, Bahamas


We are anchored in Nassau - see current location on blog for a map of our position. I'll update our trip in more detail later because I'm borrowing Butch's Internet connection on his boat and we're heading out to lunch soon. Yesterday our trip here was kind of miserable - well not kind of. It really was a long miserable day through rough water and wind on the nose across the Tongue of the Ocean. The water was like a washing machine and Michele got seasick - but not too, too bad. We left Chub Cay at 5:30 a.m. We finally made it into Nassau around 4:00 p.m (4 hours later than we anticipated). We plan to stay in Nassau for a couple of days before heading to the Exumas. Everything is okay today and we plan to do some sightseeing. Bye for now!

Hi, Wish we could be there with you. Any diving yet? Once you dive the Bahama waters you'll never like the keys again! That's is where we are right now - a rock'n & roll'n - but diving is good and doggies are coping. Have a great time! D&C&J&G

No diving yet. It's a bit chilly here. Cold fronts left and right (actually north to south)! Once we get out of the busy Nassau harbor we hope to be in smaller anchorages where we can just swim, snorkel or dive off the boat.
