Atlantis

Our friend Katie came to visit us yesterday, so like most people new to Nassau (including us), she really wanted to go check the aquarium and water park at Atlantis.  We had already inquired about day passes to all this but they were prohibitively expensive, so we did not think we would end up visiting... Anyway, we still walked to Atlantis with Katie in order to find out what other options we might have or whether we did want to part from USD $125 per person to visit these fish and pools... while walking around we ran into Matt from Meant 2B and he mentioned that the marina guests had access to all this stuff for free (as long as you were willing to put up with $4 per foot - 40 foot minimum).  So we inquired at the dockmaster's office and it was indeed as Matt had said.  This meant that us three could visit all this stuff for $160 instead of $375!!!  We all found this to be an acceptable price so we made reservations to come over today and stay for the night.

We walked through the aquarium first and checked out the fish, pretty cool!

Then we went on some rides which were pretty cool too, I hadn't done this sort of stuff in ages.

We have had a couple of boat hiccups today which I hope to be able to resolve tomorrow or on Wednesday... first, our engine took longer to start than usual, and she seems to not like it when I go from idle to full throttle quickly, it will just stall... the second, and less important one, is that the interior lights are acting up... since I haven't been able to find my multimeter, it has been difficult to figure out, it could just be that we are running the battery too low, after all, I have been relying on solar power for a month and we may just be slowly draining the battery... two new things to my mounting pile of TODOs... luckily I have plenty of time to address these things...
