Well Esperanza is on the move again. We left $3300.00 in Highbourne Cay $750.00 pressure plate $800.00 for the service and $1500.00 dockage. and the balance in other fee's.
We crossed from Normans Cay to Nassau on Sat with lite sea and winds and set anchor in Nassau. Saturday was a good night but the winds blow up to 25-30k on Sunday and I was up all night watching the anchor.
We moved to Nassau Harbour Club in the morning requiring supplies and some rest.
Waiting for a weather window to cross to Chub Cay 35miles of deep water and then unto Bimini 80 miles from there and waiting for a weather window to get back into the good old USA.
The cost of everything except rum is very high, Marinas, water, electrical, food, parts everything so after Highboure cay I will be glad to be back in the USA. I figure this little adventure will have cost $ 5-6 thousand by the time I get back to Marathon, I should have went to Cuba as I had planned.
To Donald and Susan and Ron and Jan I have not enjoyed the Bahamas the winds NE all the time the sea's running on average 3-5 ft and I have not found many people all that friendly or helpful other than fellow Canadians and fellow USA sailors.
I am sorry If I sound like I am bitching but I just got back from the grocery store and that even hurts.
O Mom please send money for me to get home. lol
On a better note I have been swimming and beaching when ever I can and my blood suger are low.
have fun
and see you soon
Sorry to hear that your Bahama trip was the trip from hell, who would have thought. Well your're up and running, so have a safe and trouble free journey back to USA. I will assume that you will be making your way to the West side, and arrange to stay there untill your return to good old Canada.
