Frazer Hog Cay and Nassau

There are a couple different ways to travel to Chub Cay and after much discussion, Henry, David and JP decided on going south.  It is difficult to describe how absolutely beautiful the Great Bahama Bank is – it was glassy smooth, you can see the bottom and count the Starfish even when travelling at 12. knots. It is like gliding over a pane of glass.

 It took us Seven and half hours and 88.15 NM we (Moonstruck, Sno’ Dog and Improv) anchored at Frazers Hog Cay just past the Berry Island Club. (About 5 NM beyond Chub Cay.)

Sno' Dog, Moonstruck & Improv are now docked at the Bay Street Marina in Nassau.  We had an easy crossing (with 10-12 mph E winds & moderate chop) over from last night's anchorage in Frazer's Hog Cay (just passed Chub Cay).

We filled our diesel tanks at the Bayshore Marina (1st one on right, $5.25/gal cash), then we docked just beyond at Bay Street.  This is a very posh marina with good security and all amenities incl WiFi.  Price is $2.50/ft/nt + metered elect & water ($.30/gal).  We like it because it's the closest to downtown Nassau, but we're planning to check out the others later this afternoon.

Soon after we got settled in, Kim, the marina attendant informed us that 7 other PDQs were on their way and as we looked west down the Nassau harbor channel we saw the first arrive with the others in tow. Freedom a PDQ 41 leading the flock.
