Anchorage Chub Cay, The Berries

Full Circle in anchorage at Chub Cay

More of Chub Cay

At $4.25 per foot for the marina we decided to anchor. It was a lovely spot. The Marina and property are in bankcrupcy so there are some houses complete but no roads and the club house is in disrepair. This is the club house.

Nassau, The Bahamas after a week of delays

We rented a car and drove all around Nassau and New Providence Island. Paradise Island is across the harbor from Nassau and is home to Atlantis Resort

The marina at Atlantis

Interesting hotel sign. They have weekend, day, and 4 hr. plans!

We toured with Jan and Tim from Full Circle

Our waitress at The Sands restaurant on the southern side of the island

Definitely windy

Fort Montagu was built to protect the east entrance to Nassau Harbor

We went to the Botanical Gardens only to find them in disrepair. Didn't look like they were maintained in the past 15 years. This is a picture of an interesting underpass made of coral and Conch shells.
