Finally Here and Happy New Year!

Yes, we are finally in the Bahamas!  I have been trying to enter a post for several days now but one of the things we have been dealing with in entering a new country is connecting with their internet service.  Even though we are in Nassau until 9:00 this morning, we have not been able to get on internet on our boat.  Thus, I have been walking to Starbucks, only across the street, buying a cup of coffee, and receiving an hour of internet usage.  Hard life but someone has to do it!!!  The crossing last Tuesday was a little rough with 6ft. swells that none of our weather reports predicted.  It did settle down and we ended with a beautiful crossing.  The sunrise Wednesday morning was as beautiful as I have ever seen.  There is really something to say about being in the middle of the ocean.  You are truly one with nature!  I thought I may be a little nervous since this was my first overnight experience in the ocean, but I felt very comfortable with the boat, the Captain(of course), and the crew!  Galen was great crew and we really did appreciate him being there to experience this with us!  Magic really loved having another person on board!  Speaking of Magic, he has been awesome and really been a trooper!  I think he really likes this life and has just adapted so well.  That's what English Cockers do!

This is going to be short because I don't want the others waiting for me. I will post again as soon as I can get internet down the way.  I have so much to share about our final days in the US and our stay in Nassau.  Have taken some good photos too that I will share.

So for now, we are off to Allen's Cay for snorkeling and then on down the Exuma chain!
Until next time -
Fair winds!
Vicki, Buck, and Magic
