Leaving Seattle for the Bahamas at 10:30pm is perhaps not the best plan for someone who doesn’t sleep well on planes. We arrived in Charlotte around 6:00am and had a three hour layover before leaving for Nassau. I tried to sleep on both planes but didn’t get much so by the time we arrived at the boat, I was exhausted.

After everyone was loaded on-board, we headed out for a crossing to the Exumas. It was a pretty rough 4 hour crossing and several people decided to revisit earlier meals. Excited to get into the water, the crossing was unfortunate since it meant we would not be diving today. The water looks clear, warm and inviting.
