Back in Nassau

After first arriving here a month ago we are back again. This time hopefully will be more fun with one of our sailing buddy couples, Al and Trish Del Negro visiting for some R&R and warm weather.

We left Georgetown and the Tropic of Cancer about a week ago and made several stops along the way in new places and one we visited before to enjoy the beauty that this Island nation has to offer. It’s easy to understand why so many people come here year after year. This year I think the number of people makes it almost uncomfortably crowded. But there are beaches and islands we didn’t stop at where there is a chance to be alone. But, we’ll be back here next season as we pass on to the Caribbean.

From here our schedule actually gets busy. We spend this week with our friends and then up to the Abacos working out way north to cross back to the US mainland. On up the coast to visit one of my son’s and his family, a trip to Chicago to visit Linda’s family and finally getting back to the Bay in early June for doctor’s appointments and boat work before heading up to New England for the summer.

Even though we spent a month in Marathon and weeks here and there the time has flown by. Since we left Oxford, MD in December the only nights we spent out of the boat was when we traveled to MD in January to sell our old boat. But somehow when we anchor in a different place it seems like a new home even though our home doesn’t change, only the view changes. Imagine if your house had a different view every few days. Ours does. At each place we meet nice new people who each have a great story to tell. We’ve made some great new friends who along with our existing friends will keep us very busy.

I’m still looking or the place to just drop anchor and have nothing to do. May never happen but maybe the things can be done manaña which is the busiest day of the week.
