Crazy thing!
We just pulled into Nassau last night after a hair raising 14 hour long beat to windward from Andros. Took us 60 miles to go 30 to windward. We were exhausted.
ACtually that was two days ago. The days are blurring together a bit. We went 60 miles through the wind to get to New Providence island and anchored in west bay. then we sailed the north side of the island on a nice close reach in easy seas to Nasau and got a slip.
the entrance was crazy...huge cruise ships all over the place and our wee vessel motor sailing through them because we couldn't sail the whole way with the current and wind shadows. We sailed 4 hours that day and motored for 20 minutes to the slip.
anyway, after we got our slip and jumped in the pool and got coffee ( STARBUCKS WOO HOO!!!!!) and did laundry, another Vega pulled in right next to us! What are the chances of that! Vegas really do find each other!
It's Marsha and Volker on s/v Raindrop!
SoooOoOOoOOOOo Cool!
We are almost out of laptop power and must sign off.
Next stop: Exumas.
