Next was Nassau. As we approached, it was apparant that Nassau was busy with tourist traffic given all the cruise ships in port. Off in the distance we could see Atlantis on Paradise Island. During our previous stay we had anchored west of the city but this trip we opted to travel through the busy Nassau Harbor and anchor on the east side.
After dropping the hook we went ashore and it took the Captain all of 15 minutes to find - yep - a Dairy Queen. I swear the guy has a DQ homing signal hidden somewhere. We, of course, had to stop. After all, it would likely be the last DQ we would see in quite a while. We also found more important things along the way like a supermarket and liquor store.
We spent several days in Nassau as we waited for a cold front to pass. We explored the downtown district and spent our days bustling about like the tourists off the cruise ships. We stopped at Potters Cay, Fish Fry Village and generally bummed around. Our favorite stop was on Paradise Island where we stopped at the Aquarium at Atlantis. The size of the aquarium surprised us and the number of fish amazed us further. The sea animals included a hge manta ray with a wingspan larger than Dave or I's. Truly unbelievable.
