Nassau

Hello Blog Followers!

We have found that internet is not so wide-spread as we had hoped. It also has to do with our preference for deserted islands, and pristine beaches! So from our last update, we left Lucaya, and had a good trip to Bullocks. We spent 2 days there, and swam, snorkeled, wake-surfed, and read our books. Very relaxing and beautiful.

Our next stop was the Grand Bank, nowhere land... It was really windy, and a little nerve-wracking, not having land in-sight. We had 2 boats with us, and looked out for each other through the nights. I think John and I were up from 12-4, watching the boats get buffeted by the wind.

Next stop was Fraser's Hog Cay, around the corner from Chub Cay.  This was a great little spot, up a river, surrounded by little islands. When we called to reserve a mooring ball, we were informed the club was closed, but we could stay on the mooring indefinitely for $25! This was excellent, as the weather prohibited us from moving for a week. We became friends with 4 other boats that were stuck too, and along with the club manager, Howard, had a great time. We discovered an abandoned mansion, a stingray habitat, great snorkeling, and a dock with nurse sharks hidden under it. We left this morning, with all 4 boats, to take advantage of the weather window. Now we're in Nassau, and have reunited with 2 boats from Lucaya, and 2 from Fraser's Hog Cay.  We'll be here until at least Monday. We probably will not be on email, but our phone works, so feel free to call if you're missing us! Our number is 1-242-443-8409.

Christmas is tomorrow, so there's great excitement on Zusammen! The stockings are hung from fishing rods in the salon, and we're hoping that Santa will be able to find us.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and we'll write again when we can.
