Hey Yo Yo Yo What’s shakin peoples!!  Glad you decided to pay a little visit to my Blog site! J  So let’s see…  Another year, another blog.  I guess I should start out by telling you what we’ve been up to this past month.  Good Idea right!  It’s actually a really funny story! 
         So we flew in to Vero Beach, Florida on March 27.  We thought we would be there for like 3-4 days… turns out it mast a month!  Hahaha!  We had some problems with our mast.  Well we take our mast out every year when we put the boat in storage.  So when the riggers were putting our mast in our boat they messed up and got one of our shrouds caught around the boom of the crane, so our mast was basically being held up in the air by this one shroud.  Yeah yikes!  It looked like it was about to fall at any second, which luckily it didn’t because otherwise our trip would have been canceled.  So anyway what ended up happening was that they bent one of our spreaders and jarred up the mast pretty good.  So major setback.  So we got the best people in Vero Beach to work on it and they got it fixed up before long.  But after that it was just one thing after the next.  Until finally we got the boat all cleaned up and provisioned.  But then it was just a matter of the weather being good and in the right direction, which it wasn’t for like a week.  But after a lot of waiting we finally set sail on April 24!!  WOW!  We sailed across the Gulf Stream and past the berries until we arrived at Atlantis!!!  One of my favorite places EVER!!!  It’s basically like the coolest them park in the world!!!  It’s on Paradise Island, which is right next to Nassau.  So we pull in to the marina after sailing overnight for 36 hours non-stop!  After washing the boat we leave for the slides, which are super AWESOME and FUN!!!  There’s this one slide called the Leap of Faith and it pretty much is a drop that goes straight down through a shark tank!!  You lift on the slide and free-fall for a couple of seconds!!  There is another one like that called the Abyss and it’s the same thing only in the dark and you end up in a cave!!  Then let’s see there’s the Lazy River which is really relaxing and nice to just float.  It goes through rapids and other fun features and eventually takes you on a conveyor belt up to the top of this tower where you can do a bunch of other exciting rides!!  There’s also this cool ride called the Serpent Slide and you can do a double with someone and it takes you underwater through this big aquarium and you get to see sharks, fish, and really big stingrays!!  So after a very fun-filled afternoon on the slides we head over to this really good restaurant called Carmin’s!  You could order like 2 main dinners and you probably wouldn’t finish them.  They are so massive and filling!  They give you just these really big portions!  But it’s really awesome and the food is delicious!! 
         So there you have it that’s Atlants!!!  The next day we headed out again and made a long run up the Exuma Cays to a place called Staniel Cay.  We are now sitting here in the anchorage and it is pouring rain.  I mean absolutely dumping outside!  And here’s the thing, it’s been non-stop for pretty much 3 days!!  So we haven’t gotten the chance yet to go snorkeling or to the beach, but hopefully this will all clear up and I can start getting my tan on!!!      
         Until next time this has been Colby on Asolare!!  Hope you stay dry and we’ll talk to you soon!  Later Everybody!  Peace!  Yo!  I’m out!
