NASSAU - 4/23/2015

  
We had a beautiful night anchored at Frazer's Hog Cay and woke to a beautiful sunrise and calm winds for our 36.09 NM crossing of the Northeast Providence Channel (this is where the depth finder ends at 131 feet) to Nassau, Bahamas.  We were anxious to get there as we had a long list of Things To Do. Our first  stop was at Harbour Central to refuel, move around the corner to our slip at Bay Street Marina and then it was time to visit Jakeil at Harbourside Marine LTD to purchase a new 15 HP, 2-Stroke Yamaha Engine.  This has been on JP’s wish list since our visit last year and may be part of the reason we are traveling here, but he is now one happy man!
It was back to Moonstruck to prepare the dinghy for her new engine – Life is Good and we can now cruise the Bahamian Water in current and wind. 

We have been traveling with Bob and Sandy MacNeill on Gusto and about 5:00 PM daily we meet for our Skipper’s Meeting to review the weather and plan for the next day.  Yes, there is usually alcohol involved, because no good idea ever started with a salad.
