Back in Nassau

Well, we had a super week, sailing down the Exumas chain. I listened to Chris Parker this morning and his forecast was for high winds starting late this afternoon and lasting thru the last part of the week with another cold front coming thru next weekend and more wind. I was concerned about having Nanc in Nassau for her flight home and picking up the guys flying down to help me bring Marcnicliz home, so we departed this morning at 0900 and arrived here at 1900 after the last two hours of high winds up to 30 knots and seas of 4 to 5 feet. We both did well and so did the boat. Glad to be on anchor. We had a good time at Warderick Wells, and I will include pictures of the Banana Quits eating from our hand and Nanc walking on the beach at Shroud Cay after a trip thru the mangroves. Pretty special. We anchored at Staniel Key/ Big Majors last evening and ate at Thunder Ball Club last night. Name comes from the James Bond Movie. It sits high on a hill overlooking the surrounding Keys. Very pretty. We were able to average over 7 knots coming back with many spells over 9 knots. I was dragging the dingy behind, and that was amazing. I should have put it on the fore deck with the forecast. Next time. Party chicken for dinner tonight. I will miss the super meals Nanc puts together when it is me and the guys. I have cans of tuna, chicken, and Pringles for Bill Hughes. We will be fine. I plan on improvising next week prior to their arrival and our departure for Deltaville. S
