7 May – Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas

Went to our appointment at 07.30. Got the size of photo wrong (imperial not metric) so a quick dash to an expensive photo studio and then a surprisingly easy interview. Why were we going to the US (to get out if hurricane zone for insurance criteria), where will we keep the boat (Chuck and Gretchens) and why is the boat called ISIS (name of the Thames as it travels through Oxford).

Success! We picked up the passports complete with 10 year visa at 15.00.   We celebrated with a McDonalds milkshake, found right next door to the US Embassy) and then went for another cycle around town - with the inevitable stop in the Texaco garage for the internet.

Meanwhile Chuck and Gretchen were flying to the Bahamas and arrived at 16.00. Really lovely to see them again. Tomorrow we plan our onward journey north……although it will start with a trip to the supermarket and the dock for water.
