We leave Nassau harbour and Philippa gets soaked in choppy waters: Episode 19
We eat a delicious dinner at the famous 'POOP DECK' in Nassau in the Bahamas.
We discuss over dinner the effort it took to get US visas and an appointment at the American Embassy in Nassau.
We get up early and leave the harbour area of Nassau and head out into choppy waters, experiencing some 'proper' sailing that we felt we hadn't done for a while, Philippa gets soaking wet, after James had told her 'don't worry about the waves', famous last words.
We arrive at the Berry islands but after trying to settle we realised it was just far too rough and with some major sailing days ahead of us we decided to pull up the anchor and find a better resting place, we find an amusement park slap bang in the middle of the ocean!!
