Passage to Nassau - End of trip segment

Thursday afternoon was a nice needed down time after being so busy. We pigged out on another of Bill's fantasic lunch's, explored Fresh Creek and then took naps. Later in the afternoon we started to prep the boat for the passage to Nassau. When I told Bill and Mike it would only be 5 hours they said, "Piece of cake, we're used to 20 hour passages..."

It actually took 8 hours since the wind was right on the nose the whole way. We motor sailed some of the way since we had to go north anyway. But eventually we had to turn northeast and into the wind. It's just as well that we made quite a bit of northing since a thunderstorm formed over New Providence and chased us all the way to the harbour.

The storm actually beat us there and just as we entered decided to pour rain on us for the next hour while we entered and then docked. Fitting we thought since that is how we came into Fresh Creek.

End of the trip! Time to clean the boat and go eat a big dinner at Atlantis. It was our only dinner at a restaurant and what a dousy! New York strip, Veal Chop, Tenderloin and Tail. Awesome finish.....

Bill and Mike flew out on Saturday morning. It worked out great because I was picking up Jane at the same time.
