1nm

Day #9: Baby steps, that's what today's 1nm round trip to the fuel dock was, a baby step. Even so, it was good to have Nellie out moving. Diesel is $5.40/gallon. When I tried to pay the bill both my credit cards rejected the charge. Seems the card companies don't like to see $400 fuel charges from foreign countries. It was then a mad scramble but we came up with the cash. A wifi Skype call from the Texaco station to both credit card companies got the cards turned back on again. It's such fun trying to clear up financial problems when out of the country ;-) John has returned from Naples and so the crew is looking forward to tomorrow's planned departure for the Exumas. We had a very nice dinner with Penny, Stewart and their friend just in from Scotland, Alastair, aboard the sailing vessel Stravaigin. 1nm today and 314nm total but still in Nassau.
