November 20th, 2009 Adlers Cay, Berry's to Rose Island
We left the anchorage at 7 a.m. and powered our way out the cut against the current. Our course was set for Nassau Harbor and we hoisted the main and rolled out the jib. Winds were light but we were able to get some help heading up about as far as "Sapphire" heads up.
After about 5 miles we made deep water and got our fishing lines in the water. We've been fishing with one hand line in the middle of the stern and two rods angled outboard to get as much spread as we can.
The trip was about 35 miles and uneventful. We called Nassau Harbor Control for permission to enter and followed a huge cruise liner in...
The Harbor here consists of a wide channel between Paradise Island and New Providence. It is easy to deal with even though the shipping traffic is heavy. "Fine Lion" stopped for fuel but we continued through and out the other end ... a distance of about 4 miles, then snaked our way through some rocks and headed north a couple of miles to Rose Island where we joined 4 or 5 other boats in the anchorage.
Our dinghy was lowered and Steve and I went snorkeling on some coral that we could see from our boats. There were lots of fish. I saw a couple on nice grouper but they hid under the rocks and wouldn't come out.
Later we had a nice dinner of left-over tuna... and listened to the Spartans slop their way to a win against Toledo.
