Nassau

OK, we made Nassau and had ole friends to dinner. We have spent the last week at Devil's Cay; have been catching lobster and grouper. We ate on the beach for several evening meals by cooking on a camp fire, and took many walks on the beach to collect shells, etc. We took a long hike on Hoffman Cay to a site that over looked the whole area which was really pretty. Another day we hiked to a blue hole which was beautiful. We caught 20 conch one day and made a chowder and fritters. You could only get into the anchorage at high tide, but we stayed there a week and had a super time. I cleaned most of the bottom of the boat off with a brush which is really hard work. Nanc said she was trying to remember how to do CPR when she saw me. We used the dingy to troll for the grouper and snorkeled for the lobster. Was windy the first few days, but the last two were made in heaven. We left this morning on a high tide and motor sailed to here in about 5 hours. The wind was on my nose which was not too conducive for sailing. We will stay here tomorrow and do laundry, put on water and fuel and leave Friday for the Exumas. Will be out of touch again for a week or so. S
