Freezing in Nassau

We made it to Nassau on January 28th and we have been hiding out at the Bay Street Marina for the past few days waiting out this cold front that has been covering the Bahamas.  Talking to the bartender last night, it hasn't been this cold since he was 15 and he is now 35.  The weather app said it was 53 but feels like 37 in the middle of the day and it did feel like 37.  We had to break out the space heater again.  It was mainly the wind is why we decided to stay so long in the marina.  We have had winds between 20-25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph for 3 days.  Hopefully the wind will calm down tomorrow so we can head over to the Exumas.   

We rented a car and drove around the island and ran a few errands.  They drive on the right side of the road and the steering is on the the right.  Wes didn't have any trouble with this, just with the turn signal being on the right side of the steering wheel.  He kept hitting the wipers instead.  Needless to say, we had a very clean windshield.   The car was a pink nissan marsh (never heard of it) and it was pretty beat up but it was only $50 a day.

We also walked around town where the cruise ships come in.  It was pretty quiet when we went because there was only 1 cruise ship in port when there is normally around 6.  A lot of the cruise ships changed their itineraries to skip Nassau because of the winds and rough waters.  We stopped by Senior Frogs to have a drink (and a shot in the congo line) and then margaritaville.  They have some really cute little shops there.
