Blue water and white sand

We’ve been in the Bahamas for a week now and it’s been wonderful. The water is amazing shade of blues and the beaches are so white. So far we have anchored at 3 different spots – Honeymoon Harbour, Chub Cay and Little Whale Cay. Mark and I have explored a few beaches and did a very tiring walk to a Lighthouse on Cat Cay.

Crossing from Little Whale to Nassau was good. We had lots of wind and made good time. It was a bit rough at the end as we negotiated Nassau Harbour but we made it to the Marina. Nassau has been interesting – the people are super friendly and accommodating but the city is very run down. Even in the high tourist area (where the cruise ships tie up), there are lots of run down, empty and dirty buildings. Our plan was to not stay in Nassau but we needed a new stereo (car radio basically because ours got wet and fried itself on our trip over from Miami. We found a leak though😉) and there was a storm prediction that came true on Wednesday (lots of rain).

Friday we leave Nassau and sail to the start of the Exumas – a chain of islands that we have heard are amazing. Last day of wifi so it will be back to the inreach.

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post. When we landed in Bimini, we had to clear customs. They had a long form for us to fill out and there were a few interesting questions. “Did anyone die on the journey and if so, do you still have the body?” “Did an unusually amount of rats and mice die on your trip?” Okay Bahamas, time to update your forms!
