 Rain
more clouds

 Trying my luck at this fishing thing again!
 Fishing pole with lots of clouds
 More clouds with rain
 My bloom
 It’s raining pretty hard right now and it’s only 10:30 in the morning!
 Us and a cruise ship coming into Nassau at the same time…
guess who got to go in first!
The following few pictures are scenery pictures of Nassau 




 
 Well look who is here! It’s the Norwegian Escape from Miami!
An opening on the side of the boat to communicate with the Pilot Boat
 I’m guessing? Am I right Derek?!!?

 Storymaker at anchorage!
Our sunset – simply beautiful!
 
What a day!  Rain, rain, rain, thunder, lightning, but it was still a wonderful cruising day.  We were pretty much the only ones in the Great Bahama Bank so we were able to sit inside during the un-cooperating weather which was very nice! And!, believe it or not, once we dropped anchor the rain disappeared and the sun was a shining!! Made for a beautiful sunset!
We took a dinghy ride and saw a huge black spotted ray just swimming alongside of us.  Once he realized we saw him, and was trying to take a picture, he took off on us!  He would have made a beautiful picture! 
Bob did some snorkeling around.  He saw the regular group of characters; wrasses, butterfly fish, sergeant majors, and a cornucopia of coral, including fans, tube, and stag!
