Beware of pirates! :) Nassau was once known as the Republic of Pirates, and the infamous Blackbeard himself served as its judge. This place is steeped in history. If you haven't watched Black Sails, you're missing out!

I will check it out. My parents honeymooned here in the late 1950s, but I know nothing about the Bahamas.

What I know comes from watching the TV series. I can tell you that Nassau was a pirate haven and its islands were a wonderful hideout with shallow waters and were very close to the shipping route of the Spanish and Portuguese galleons (ships), full of gold.

There's a cool old hotel there that has liquor and wine from the Age of Exploration that was salvaged from shipwrecks. It's like $20k per serving, though, so pace yourself.

Yeah... I think it would be best not to tell my wife about that. She will hopefully go directly to the beach and then get back on the boat.

Everyone is getting off the boat but me. I'm content looking from the balcony.

Yes. I didn't see any runners yesterday at Canaveral. I was disappointed.
