Look what I found in Nassau
[ATTACH] [/ATTACH]We were fueling up at Hurricane Hole to other day on our way to Puerto Rico and I looked over at one of the fuel pumps and saw this.

Is it purposely at right angles or did you notice it after waking up outside a bar?
Just kidding.... I'm sure you are better than that after seeing your resume' of training...I know I got my best practice leaving bars in places I've been to some kind of training...

Not sure why these pictures are rotating? I took them with the phone vertical.

I wish it was due to a spot or two of rum.

That could be it! My new excuse, the phone got into the rum, not me!

And you have photographic evidence to prove your phone is a rummy...

Sure. But not much to tell. It was a uneventful straight delivery. Other than issues with the Tides shaft seals at the start, we went Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau just for fuel, then straight from Nassau to Palmas del Mar on the East coast of PR. The boat goes to St. Martin tomorrow but I have to get off here in PR. It's an 87' Johnson we were cruising at 9.5 - 11.5 knots burning between 30 - 40 GPH. And we had perfect weather most of the way.

Thanks Bill! That's a reall pretty sticker. I wonder why that anchor is stuck through the wheel?

A feeble attempt at increasing its surface area to provide better holding in muddy conditions

Hopkins Carter sticker, huh? Just another indication of how desperate things are getting in the islands!
As many shipments as Parks has to the Islands, he ought to have his own Air Freight division.
