Fun in Nassau

Early in the morning around 4:30AM I hear some loud talking on the dock. Not enough to wake anyone in a sound sleep. After we get up we find out that a couple boats further out on the dock were robbed. They come off the water, probably swimming, looking for cash mainly. They were on “Carrie May” and stole a paddle board on the deck and went through Maria's backpack in the cockpit. Bob wakes up and surprises his unwanted guest, Bob has a gun and his guest disappears. The security at the marina could care less and doesn't do anything. Bob is friends with a retired Nassau Police commissioner and calls him which gets some action. The police come but are initially more upset that Bob has a hand gun (declared and registered upon entry) Bob holds it by the finger guard so they will not feel threatened. Boats are robbed almost weekly at this marina. Anyways they do finger print some of the objects the thief touched. Apparently they do have a suspect, but have not been able to nail him, yet.

In the afternoon our boat is towed over to Browns and Albert's guys come over and drop the keel. Tomorrow hopefully it will be straighten and reinstalled. I am working on getting a new rudder fabricated in Florida which we will eventual get installed. Tonight we have another very calm night sleeping on the boat in the travel lift slings.
