Nassau Bahamas Trip

This week is all about relaxing in the fun and Sun. Each year the company I work for does a "Reward Trip" they call Legend Makers and if your performance is at a certain place you qualify for the trip. This particular one was a chartered cruise ship (smaller cruise ship) that went from Miami to Nassua Bahamas then to Stirrup Cay Bahamas, Key West Florida and then back to Miami. We had a change in our personal plans and Deb was not able to join me so i invited my Mother to join me on the trip. Now I have to provide a bit of context. My mother doesn't swim, gets motion sickness and doesn't like to go over long bridges because of the water below. So imagine my excitement when she said YES that she would go on a cruise. It was really cool. I hope she had a good time as well. This video covers our arrival in Nassau (including seeing the Pilot boat come along side while I was filming out the balcony) as well as our day in Nassau at a Rum Distillery and a Chocolate Factory. Then it was back to the boat and a trip to Stirrup Cay Bahamas (which is a private island) and the trip and tendering back and forth from the anchored ship to the shore. I hope you enjoy a different view of cruising than what we typically have on our boat. The primary differences were. 1) someone to clean up in your stateroom and 2) the fact that all of the views from the boat were the 8th floor, rather than 4 feet above sea level. Enjoy !! Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "How to repair a wooden mast, boom, spar or Bulkhead (Step by Step) " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nxr-yxUjvQ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
