Good to see some familiar faces...

As I mentioned before when we arrived into Nassau our friends on s/v Three Sheets, Mike & Jennifer, hailed us over the VHF radio. It was like hearing an angels voice straight from the heavens. Turns out they are still hanging out in Nassau for Brian on s/v Ripple, 40th birthday. This was an unexpected trip to Nassau and we had no intention of even coming here. We planned to just skip Nassau all together since we had heard so many bad things about the place, the water is dirty and the Harbour is gross, etc... After settling in we headed over to see our dear friends and see why they were still hanging around, last we heard they were moving onward. First reason we found out was to celebrate Brian's birthday with friends arriving in town. Then bad news came shortly after that when they were asked to move slips cause a larger boat was coming in at the Atlantis Marina. Mike went to start the engine and nothing happened. It wouldn't turn over. All the guys got together to try to figure out what the issue was. They have been working for days on to resolve the problem. This was a puzzling problem and it finally showed its ugly head, there is water in the engine. For those of you that might not know much about boating this is one of the worst things to have happen, next to having the ship going down. Sadly the boat they purchased is a lemon and this is one of the numerous issues with a boat they purchased brand new. Matthew and myself soon figured out why we were brought to Nassau in such a quick fashion unexpectedly. Looking back on our journey over the Tongue of the Ocean has subsided now it time to get the good vibes working for Three Sheets and get her back up and running again. Please send out good vibrations, lots of love and prayers for our friends Mike and Jennifer. Here are some links to check them out:
