Our leisurely day here in Nassau turned out to be quite full. We hit all the marine stores along the way and picked up more foam brushes to continue our brightwork, an epoxy-repair kit to make the initial mend on the broken swim step and a couple more zincs. Next we made a stop at the dive store and got replacement parts for our aging snorkel gear and purchased an additional new set. Now we are all set for four people to snorkel in these beautiful blue waters.
No swimming today though! Dan made the initial bonding repair on the swim step then headed back to a metal shop we passed to have some angle iron bent to add to the stability. You should see the newly “remodeled“ step. It is all fixed plus it has a molded bumper to protect it from the tender. Nice job Dan.
Someone on the dock gave us a lead to setting up a better way to send and receive emails while here in the Bahamas. Moses at Custom Computers Limited, just across the way in Harbour Bay Shopping Center, spent hours trying to get our Verizon broadband to accept the BTC Sims chip and load minutes for us. Good ole’ Verizon, everything is locked. Now there are ways of pirating around that but it voids all their responsibility for the equipment. We left the store after hours of waiting and conferring knowing that we must continue with this tomorrow.
