Nassau & Beyond







Monday 4/6/09 During the night the wind shifted to a direction right off the open water making our anchorage a bit bumpy. No problem! We're leaving anyway. Up comes the anchor and in go the GPS coordinates and off to Nassau we go. Wind out of the SW with 2' to 3' waves hitting us on the starboard bow. By 11 am we were calling Nassau Harbor Control for clearance into the harbor. Let me tell you, trying to understand this guy is just as difficult as trying to understand the southern drawling lockmasters on the Tombigbee!. Once deciphered we entered the harbor right past the cruise ships. No problem here. I was close enough to throw a rock and hit them. We proceeded to the Nassau Yacht Harbor hoping to find fuel and a slip. Strikes 1 & 2. On to the Texaco sign. We got fuel @ $2.60 but no slip. We had a team meeting and decided to press on to Highborne Cay.
