EP. 40 We MEET the ROYALS | and SO Much MORE

[ ONE TIME CONTRIBUTIONS ] bit.ly/3e5YE78
We hear that it is very rare to meet the royal family and we have to admit, we we haven't ever found ourselves wondering if we ever would. Our second time on New Providence came with some rumors that Kate and William were coming to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. What luck that Trio and us were just getting a rental car sorted and then found ourselves following a gathering crowd to the town square where we stumbled upon the opportunity of a lifetime! Katy and Janice both shook Kate Middletons hand!
In other news, we bought a new outboard engine for our dinghy, enjoyed more diving with Stuart Coves, stuffed ourselves full of pancakes, learned the game of croquet, hung our underwear on a line for all to watch dry, and said farewell (for now) to our wonderful hosts Nick & Carolyn.
Trio and Seawind head for the ocean on April fools day, and we sail into the sunset as we head for the island of Bimini overnight.
