In this episode we make an effort to worry less than we have been. You think it’d be easier for us… I mean we live on a sailboat and are cruising around the Bahama islands. Turns out, it’s not that easy.
The sailing life is still new to me, but one of the things that I’m struggling with is adjusting to the tempo of a life at sea… the weather, sea-state, even the geography rapidly shift from one extreme to the other. And I find it strange that I still worry about things… admittedly not the same things I used to worry about… but I have my worries and frustrations.
We’ve been in the Bahamas a little over a month now… and while we’re defiantly getting more adjusted, there are still a few things we need. So we departed the Berry Islands bound for New Providence and Nassau Harbor for a “refueling” of sorts. The winds were light but steady and we enjoyed another peaceful sea state as we motored sailed South.
Nassau is quite the place – A huge cruise ship terminal, international airport, casinos, beach resorts, water parks, and all of Pleasure island make Nassau a destination all unto itself. But for me, it’s the colonial architecture and island vibes that give Nassau that international allure. I’m particularly taken by Lord Dunmore, the Viscount of Fincastle, and his historical role in both the United States and Bahamas (and it turns out he had some worries too).
Secure on the dock in Nassau, I’m flying back to the States for a week… and we’re getting a guest… In the meantime, consider giving your own worries a break… maybe watch some YouTube and dream of something else… After all, that’s exactly how I got here.
Just a reminder: We upload as regularly as we can… but only if we genuinely have something to post. We know that’s not exactly “algorithm friendly” but it feels right to us. Unfortunately, this means we may not show up in your feed as often as you want us too. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, please subscribe to our channel.
