Great Bahamas Banks to Nassau

It was a wonderful night in the Great Bahamas Banks with the best part being the amazing stars you could see in the sky.  They were breath taking.  You see so many when you are out so far from the lights of a city.  We slept well until about 2 a.m. when the winds picked up.  I took some Dramamine and back to sleep I went.  We were up at sunrise pulling up the anchor and continuing on to Nassau.  Daniel decided to try fishing again and through out a line.  About an hour later it was screaming - we had caught a fish.  A keeper this time.  We should have printed off a chart of fishes or brought a book with us on fish, but we didn't.  It was a pretty green/blue color and it was big. We brought it up and carved it up into some nice meals for us - hopefully later today we will try some.

We made it to Nassau at about 3 in the afternoon.  4 cruise ships were in port and the anchorage, just ahead of the cruise ships, was a little crowded.  We found a spot right in front of the Atlantis Resort.  There is a lot of daytime traffic that goes by us, but it slowed down a lot at night.  We still didn't have any wifi once we were anchored so we went ashore to find some.  We had a wonderful dinner (and wifi) at the Blue Parrot.  We were able to dock D-Time right in front of the Blue Parrot so all in all, it was an easy access.  We had a nice dinner (veggie quesadilla for me and BBQ sandwich with fries for Daniel - $50).  A little pricey but to be able to talk with all three of our sons, priceless.
