On to New Providence

Once again, an approaching storm encouraged us to move on to another protected anchorage.  This time on to West Bay on New Providence.  This is a good place to hide in mostly good sand for keeping an anchor put.  The place is surrounded by a national park on one side and the most exclusive neighbor hood in the Bahamas we've ever seen on the other side.  The houses were nothing like we have seen so far and shows there is money here.  We were pleasantly surprised to see three boats of people we had met in Boot Key then Rodriguez and Bimini.  They had left after us and skipped the Andros stop.  The weather was too rough for several days but we were able to socialize via VHF and once the weather cleared we took shore excursions and happy hours.  Cruising at it's best!

Fresh Bread was this days project

Along with fresh cookies.

This surf was hitting the reef just outside the bay.  We had only a narrow
slots to enter the bay.

Storms over, finally.

This lone tree hangs on to life on this rock at the bay's entrance.

Yep, that is just one house.

This one stretched along the water front.

This one was all along and over the bay.

This was a huge boat that came to anchor in calmer water so it could
lift the dingy up onto the deck with a crane.

On one of our walks, this was the top of the fence around the housing
area.  We walked 2 miles and never saw an entrance to the area.
