A bright and cool Tuesday morning at the Montague anchorage outside of Nassau. The cold front that we rode over on from Florida has passed through and we have clear skies this morning. We will check in to customs tomorrow. We have a couple days to hang around Nassau until Jackson arrives on March 2.
Sunset in the anchorage. Was a nice relaxing day letting us straighten up the boat and relax after the 30hr transit over from Miami.
Easy entry to Nassau Harbour Club marina with light winds, although we did have to do it twice because the first slip we pulled into was so narrow we were bumping up against the boat next to us. They moved us over a couple slips and this one was fine.
Sue and Rivah are happy to be dockside. Time to do some laundry and a nice long walk for Rivah.
Immigration and customs reps came by soon and we were all checked in to the Bahamas for the next 90 days.
Next day we anchored north of Athol Cay just outside of Nassau and north of the Montague bay anchorage. We needed protection from the southeast winds that the Cay provided.
This is a anchorage area that's popular with tours out of Nassau to come feed and swim with the pigs at the nearby beach. They also bring out jet skies that the tourists can use for 30 min rides, racing around all the boats at anchor. Bit annoying but they all pack up and leave each night about 4pm.
Pigs and tourists on the beach.
The next night we had to move over to anchor off Rose Island as the wind was shifting to the north. It was a bit rolly there from the swell bending around the island but not too bad for just spending one night.
The next day it was off to the marina at Palm Cay where we would wait for Jackson to arrive on Saturday.
