On To Nassau !!

 
     We left the Berry Islands just as a cold front was approaching.  It was leave now or wait another three days.  The weather wasn't really that bad, but the 30 NM trip to Nassau was a "slog" through 5-7 foot waves.  Mavourneen handled the trip beautifully, it just wasn't much fun for the occupants.  Approaching Nassau, the first thing one seas is Atlantis. 
      We were only planning to stay a few days in Nassau but my anchor windless motor decided to "ark and spark".  Fortunately, it worked fine in the Berry Islands but it needed to get fixed before heading to the Exumas.  Sooooooooo, I had to send it off to Florida for repairs and wait another four days to get it back and installed.  It's called boating !!!

The Nassau Harbour Club Marina.  Nice place, they are refurbishing the Hotel, the pool is great, and the staff is most helpful.  Several crewed yachts call this marina home and book charters from here ( most average over $100,000 per week PLUS expenses like fuel, food, etc if you want to go somewhere) 
 
Great pic of Atlantis entering Nassau !!

 
Nassau is a very conjested place.
