News from Nassau

So, interestingly enough, just as we are getting geared up to leave, we realize we have become a fixture in Nassau Harbor.  Daily Harbor tours are given all day everyday and we hear them quite clearly as they go past our boat shouting in their load speakers... "Dat is da House of Sean Connery..da real James Bond"... It is always the same animated speech they give trying to make their crowded passengers laugh.  I probably have most of it memorized, but I will spare you the details. ;) 
 Yesterday, however, we heard something different as they cruised past When And If. "Ya see dat boat der, it dates back to de 'ol Pirate days in Nassau..." and so on. His voice trailed off as they got further away. Seychelle and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. They had added us into their harbor tour speech. At least they made someone laugh with the fresh addition. It's too bad, they will have to take it out as soon as they have added it.
 It's not uncommon for the locals to say.."Oh, you is on de Pirate Ship! Ya, dats a pretty boat" 
Well, they got one thing right... When And If  is once again the prettiest boat in the harbor.
