What a difference!

Sophia and I are sitting at the Starbucks in Nassau having cappuccinos and using the internet in shorts, t-shirts, hats and sunglasses! oh bliss! What a difference form freezing in Miami (and they are freezing today).
Crossing all the way to Nassau was the best idea. After the rolly beginning, when the brass lamp over the dining table fell, fortunately not over Sophia who was moaning on the settee, but on the other side, everything was smooth. Our only problem was the navigation light (red and green housing with one lamp) refused to come on so we had to improvise with a strong flashlight inside it and lots of tape. The problem was the batteries went dead every two hours but it coincided with the change of watch.
Nassau harbour was not as full as we expected, we arrived in the marina at 3:30 but many boats arrived after that. We had never done customs and immigration in Nassau and it was fine, they came to our boat and in an hour we were legal: we took down our quarantine yellow flag and hoisted our battered Bahamian flag. We definitely need a new one! Sophia rushed to the bathrooms to shower and was sadly disappointed, water came out from only one of the holes in the shower head. A single trickle. She complained to the marina to no avail. They offered a security guard at the door of the men's bathroom where water poured from two of the holes! The shower aboard Faraway, although not as comfortable as Zingaro's, had to do.
Laundry this morning was the same ordeal. Plus we had to fight 57 French Canadian ladies for the machines. Montreal must be empty this weekend, they are all here!!!
While we enjoy the coffee and the internet, Juan is trying to find the reason why the navigation lights are not working by investigating the long line of cables from the panel to the front of the boat. We are more than thankful that was the only event. The engine purred all the way, we gave it a quart of oil today as reward. That is all it consumed! We are keeping our fingers crossed. We might still make it to Brazil!!!
