Hello to our followers I can see people
are trying to see where we are... well we left Staniel Cay on Friday
morning and travelled all the way to Rose Island, just outside of
Nassau. The weather, wind, waves, prayers, sun etc were all in our
favour. We left Nassau after getting fuel, on Saturday for Chub Cay.
Now those weather factors are not in our favour now, so we are paying
to stay in a marina here surrounded by Sport Fishermen. Chub Cay Club
is where the huge Sport Fishermen come with their boats. These are
the boats with the tall tuna tower high up above their flybridges. We
wake up to all these boats gone (up early to catch the fish?) and
they come back between 2pm and 4pm. Then these men (many crew) wash
and scrub their boats for about 2 hours. Salt is the enemy. I noticed
that the boats with the most crew (or maybe friends?) get the job
done very fast, it seems they have their designated jobs. Remember
when you were young and if you had a car, you seemed to have a few
extra friends? I always notice that these men with the sport fishing
boats seem to have a few extra friends onboard too.
When we are anchored at Rose Island
we see Atlantis all lit up at night. Well, Friday night's sunset was
amazing in the sense that the sun was huge! From our angle that sun
was so big that Paul took a video and few shots on our camera.
Every
time we pass through Nassau Harbour our eyes are always on the large
cruise ships, they wave to us and we wave back. Saturday is a big day
as this is a day for a turnaround. There were 5 ships in harbour.
This time though I actually looked opposite of the cruise ships and
this time I saw this quaint “shack” that came out of the shore by
about 100ft. All these times coming through this channel I was so
busy waving and taking cruise pictures I missed this little cottage.
Notice that Atlantis is in the background. This cottage has a perfect
view of all the ships coming and going.

| I wonder if this houseboat was going too fast? I got this online, did not happen near us. |

Good Grief! I thought our collision (check my blog) was bad!!!!
We were in Atlantis on Friday and I took pics of the sunset too. Our youngest came for a four-day quickie visit. Saturday, we made it from Nassau to Freeport, and like you, we now have to sit until Friday before we can move further. West End to Stuart is our plan. We won't go to Sunset Bay, or River Forest, but to a painting place (undecided at this point). Insurance adjusters are making plans for us.
