We left Wednesday morning and made it to the west end of New Providence Island, at Lyford Cay...very upscale neighborhood, but full of flies! Ugh! Worst thing was realizing we didn't have a fly swatter onboard, and had to flail around the boat to chase them out! Good exercise, I suppose! : )
Yesterday, we came around to Nassau, and kept going, anchoring at Athol Island, so we'd have a quick trip to the Exumas, but a nasty squall came up and we decided to go back to an old favorite marina, Nassau Harbour Club, where we tied up just before they closed at 6 pm. We met nice neighbors, Laura and Rich, on a big Hatteras, Forever Young, who gave me 4 laundry tokens, so I was thrilled to wash all the wet things we had! We had to go out to eat, so walked over to the Poop Deck, where we had a lovely, albeit expensive fish and lobster dinner! We'd planned to leave this morning, but didn't leave early enough, and the weather 's not so great anyway. So, tomorrow we'll head to Norman's Cay, Sunday to Big Farmer's Cay, and Monday,we should reach Georgetown. We are thoroughly enjoying our trip so far, thanks to your continued prayers, and will have an update and internet in Georgetown. Right now, we're at the Starbuck's across from the marina, at a great shopping center with a Bed Bath and Beyond, that had flyswatters!
