Nassau Day 6
It began raining last night as predicted. Winds are now
steadily blowing in the 20s. The water
in harbor is getting very choppy. Foreign Affair is rocking and rolling in
her slip. We have all our fenders out
and added additional dock lines. The well-built
dock itself is swaying a little under the stress as Sophia and Foreign Affair get
waked by boats large enough to be out and about catering to cruise ship
tourists. This blow is forecast to last
at least a week. The marina is
full. Boats have been coming in from the
islands for the past few days seeking shelter.
We will have ample opportunity to see the sights in Nassau.

| Preparing Cracked Conch |
Carla spent the day doing laundry and reading. Dwayne decided to get his quarterly haircut. He ended up at a salon in the nearby shopping center. The haircut looks good but it was expensive compared to his last one at Price’s Barber Shop in St. Augustine. There was no senior discount. He was advised, “You had a long time to get the money.” A pound lighter, Dwayne was off to the “Fresh Market” for groceries. Later he headed off to Potter’s Cay to get some fresh conch for dinner.
Elena, Carla
and Carol gathered together to pound the conch for dinner. Elena learned how to prepare cracked conch
using Zatarains Southern Fish Fry seasoning which gives it a wonderful spicy
flavor. Cecil is from Louisiana and likes
spicy. We had a wonderful meal and great
conversation. Amazingly, we learned that
Sophia was docked across from Keith
and Emily’s, Jubilee at Herrington
Harbour North. Dwayne, Cecil and Elena
crewed on Jubilee at times for races
but never met until now. Cecil and Elena
were married at Herrington Harbour South which is where we have kept Foreign Affair on several occasions. It is a big ocean but a small world.
