Well…, we have been in Nassau for a week or so now and it is time to move on. The Exumas are a spot I missed for the most part on my last trip through the Bahamas. Many say they are the most beautiful cruising grounds around, we’ll see. I will be able to start fishing on a daily basis and Guinevere will start her long awaited snorkeling campaign. We will be a bit more out of touch from the world :)I will be doing short updates from the Orbcomm system, but we will not have internet,phone, or access to the bigger shops for a few weeks. We need to be in George town by the end of the month as Sam’s Mum is coming for a visit. Dont forget to check out the “Current Position” page and check the satellite photos of where we are.
On a side note, I need to vent a bit. If anyone has a suggestion on a bank please let me know. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I”M SO FRUSTRATED WITH HSBC! I’m so careful with the little money i have, but my bank feels the need to steal money from me in the form of over draft charges. They will not give me over draft protection because my lack of credit, nor will they decline a transaction for insufficient funds, sounds like robbery to me? I don’t believe in credit or find the need to owe anyone anything and as a result I’m not worthy of overdraft protection, how does that work? Am I being penalized for being responsible with money? I always make sure to only spend once it has posted to my account and they still seem to find a way to hit me with the OD charges ($35.00) each. If anyone knows of a reasonable bank, no matter how small, please let me know.
Anyway, I’m going back to the peace of the island mon.
Cheers everyone.
Sail far and live slowly.
