Howdy folks and Merry Christmas Eve!
We are in Texas now. Left our SV at Bayshore Marina in Nassau for the holiday. we return on 12-31. We are a family of 4 with 5 and 6 year old girls on a 50 Privilege Cat. New to live aboard cruising (month 3).
Curiosities and recommendations:
1) we dropped the hook in old fort bay (Charlottesville bay) on the way in - it was very nice with sandy bottom for days and plenty deep enough - are there any restaurants on this bay to dinghy to? Thought it would be nice to have a nice to have a nice dinner on land on NYE. Would also like the girls to see fireworks. Does that side of Nassau have a firework display?Perhaps we drop hook south of paradise In all the hustle/bustle?
2) we have friends flying into Nassau on 1-5-22 to do the “Atlantis thing” for a couple days. where would you recommend we go from 1-1 to 1-5? Follow up - after we are done with Atlantis on 1-7 our friends are staying with us through 1-12. we are ultimately heading to the Exumas but brain says head to Eleuthera while we are up here. Thoughts on a 4-5 day itinerary from 1-7 to 1-12? the friends will take a puddle jumper plane back to nasssau from wherever we end up on 1-12.
Hoping that all made sense above.
Thank you kindly in advance
Loren and Coy
