A Haircut in Nassau for Easter

We hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  We rented a car in the afternoon and went exploring.  Found a great restaurant (of course!) on the western end, The Mahogany House, and enjoyed a nice meal.  The island is busy and very populated - probably one of the most densely populated of all the Bahama islands.  There are several very large resorts - of course, the most famous being Atlantis.  But others are springing up and development is strong here right now.  The marina we have been using as our home base is very nice and is quiet and removed from the fray of downtown.

They have a lovely restaurant, loaner cars and the staff are friendly and accommodating.  We have enjoyed using this as our base to allow us each to stay connected and work.  Greg had a full week at work, so it was good to be here where we can access wifi and phone.

We had a couple more repair projects this week that we just finished, as well as some boat chores.  We had to replace a head hose (not a pleasant job at all) and defrost the refrigerator - a chore when you have no alternative cooling area.  We plan to head out Saturday for Eleuthera.  There are several good anchorages and sights that we hope to take in.  We will be back to the marina in a week or so, unless connections are bad in Eleuthera, then back sooner.

We went into town yesterday to get some supplies from the marine store and Greg got a haircut.  Sharon went in with him and played a game on her phone.  He was so wishing he could take a picture of the posted price list.  It said - Haircut and Shave $17; Razor Work $5; Men's Haircut $12; Women's Haircut $12; Caucasian Haircut $12.  (We were uncertain why they had to itemize since they were mostly all $12)  Made us laugh anyway.  It was clearly a social event for most of the guys in there.  There was a lot of gabbing going on - political views being expounded upon, the state of Bahamian Government affairs, the situation with Hernandez (for you Patriot's fans) and whether he was a murderer or an accessory to murder.  It was 30 minutes of local fun!  Sharon's head was spinning when we left.

Not much else to tell.  Day after day of sunny and 85 degrees, with 75 degree nights.  Only the breeze changes - running from 12 knots to 30 knots, and either from the East or Southeast!  Tough to take we are here to tell you!
