ATLANTIS!!!

5.20.13 After leaving Warderick Wells, we stopped at Hawksbill Cay for two days as it is hands down our favorite beach in the Bahamas. We relaxed, swam with the mutt and had a bonfire. It was a great way to bring our trip to the Bahamas to a close. We have since been moving quickly up the island chain with few stops. We made it to Nassau last night and anchored off of Rose Island in a "protected" cove - HA! We had no protection. The wind was coming from the East and we were facing into the wind, however we were getting strange waves from the South that were slamming into the beam of the boat and rocking us side to side. This continued all through the night and since the wind was strong and the cove was shallow, we alternated anchor alarm watch and neither of us got much sleep due to the bouncing around. This morning, as soon as we could see outside, we hauled up anchor and headed in to Atlantis. This is our one splurge of the trip that we both look forward to. It is filled with days at the water park, laundry, hot, long showers, lightening fast internet, and of course, nights at the casino. We will sit here for a few days while these winds blow and then hopefully we will be able to head back stateside within the week. We have had a blast here in the Bahamas, despite the mishaps, but are looking forward to the comforts of being dockside in the U.S. See everyone soon!
