After Bill and Lynn left last week, Jorge and I decided to stay in Nassau instead of moving to West Bay for protection from the winds as their strength had been down-graded. And, well, we're still here! We haven't done much of anything . . . two walks (and they were long walks) to the hardware store, a walk to Ft. Montagu (a very small fort, the size of a house) but it was closed so we walked around the park, a picnic at the same park a few days later, the normal walks to the liquor and grocery stores, and hanging out at Starbucks.

We have changed our minds and have decided not to go to the Abacos for many reasons. Tomorrow we are heading to the Northwest Shoal, then to Bimini and then to Florida. The winds have been non-existent this week and are forecast the same until Monday, so we'll be burning some diesel lol!

The boat is ready for the trip, engine oil changed, belts checked, laundry done, provisioning done. Yep, we're ready to go.

Here are some pics of Nassau. Weather has been great, 24C to 25C day and night, very little humidity, sunny skies with just a bit of rain and very little wind for the past week. Nassau Harbour was actually as flat as a pane of glass the last couple of nights.
