Nassau

Yesterday we left our anchorage at Rose Island and headed into Nassau harbour, about 7 miles away. After clearing with harbour control we docked at Nassau Harbour Club, took on some fuel, and headed in to town for some things we needed. I needed to replace the lure that the big one got away with, some groceries, a new anchor for Half Note, and some cheap rum that you can't buy as cheap in the States. After going back to the boat and putting things away, it was time to head to Potters Cay for a late lunch, (our conch fix) and explore the Wharves. Potters Cay is a most unusual place where you can get it live or cooked. After pigging out on cracked conch, conch fritters, and a couple of cold Kaliks we wandered the Wharves. This is where everything needed for the out Islands, and I mean everything, gets shipped from. After a hot day in the town it was time for a dip in the pool. Because we had a late lunch (lupper) it was time for Tammy's key lime pie. Well, all we needed was four forks, no plates needed, and the four of us finished it off at pool side. I can't believe we ate the whole thing!
Today we are headed to the Berry Islands where we hope to meet up with Aurora in the next couple of days.
Because we will be traveling on the outside, it will be a fishing day! I will have a chance to try out my new lure. Wish me luck! Let's go fishing!

10 pound grouper mister? only 80.00. Not today thank you, we are going fishing tomorrow!
