We spent the day and evening docked at Nassau. When we woke up, a cruise liner was parked next to us, making the Legacy look small. Then the giant Disney Liner pulled in, dwarfing the other cruiser. And then Carnival came in later in the afternoon. It was immense!

We spent the morning touring the town on foot. Danny and Nicole went one way, and Kathy, Kelly, Claire, and I went another. As we parted, I gave Danny a special mission to look for a good deal on a few Cuban cigars.

We visited a number of shops and sites in town. Had to buy 4 double A batteries for $8! (Ouch.) The six of us got back together for lunch on the Legacy. We changed into bathing suits and caught a cab over the bridge to Paradise Island, spending the afternoon at Cabbage Beach. We had a lot of locals for company because it was a national holiday. Mostly teenage boys. The water was crystal clear. Kelly and I did some snorkeling. I spotted three little squid swimming in unison.

We took a cab (mini-van) back in time for the conk shell salad demonstration, swizzle time, and Action Jackson’s amazing performance. Both Claire and Danny earned shirts by playing support roles in AJ’s show. (See photos.) We had a restful sunset dinner and evening that included two of Danny’s Cubans dipped in cognac. We set sail late in the evening heading for Egg Island.
