Weird Weather

Nassau fix gps watermaker 009

Here is the latest update, sorry about the delay. Juliette made it back a few days ago. Funny story about her arrival. I was doing some running around that morning and got back to the boat, I looked at her itinerary thinking she is getting in at 2pm, but the ticket said 12 noon. I dropped what I was doing, got back in the dingy and went to shore and found a taxi. I arrived at the airport just as the plane was landing, as I entered the terminal, she was just finished with customs and ready to go back to the boat. After the 30 minute taxi ride back to the dingy ($60 round-trip to the airport), we get back to the boat and start settling in when she discovers she forgot one bag back at the airport. So, back in the dingy, we get to the dingy dock and find a taxi to take us back to the airport. Her bag was still there, so we grab the bag and get back in the taxi and cross back over the Island of Nassau to our boat. It turns out she was worried about customs because she was traveling with about 10 pounds of steaks (meat) that she picked up at Sams Club in California. She was worry that the custom agents were going to have barbeque steaks with their families rather than us.

The weather tonight is suppose to be some of the strongest sustained winds with a cold front in the last 10 years. We are ready for it. We are in Nassau Harbor anchored in front of a little building that is used for Yoga.
