As promised, here’s the second part in my two part series about our stay in Black Point, where we happened to be anchored over the Easter holiday this year. We watched this sleepy little town double in population as relatives headed back home to celebrate with their families. On...
Black Point
Well….just went through my diary log book and it looks like Black Point was another of our favorite places, evidenced by the fact that we spent 13 nights there this past spring. I mean really, what’s not to love? There’s a huge anchorage with good protection from the trade...
Warderick Wells….Did Someone Say Boo Boo?
Wow…where to start! We spent a total of 11 nights on a mooring ball at Warderick Wells (over a period of two months), which is another part of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. The entire park is a “no take” zone, meaning that nothing may be removed...
Up A Creek….Or Two or Three
After leaving our little iguana friends behind, our next stop was a short motor sail away to Shroud Cay in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a beautiful island with several creeks running from the banks side clear though to the ocean. There were a few mooring balls...
Don’t Feed the Dinosaurs!
We’d finally arrived in the Exumas and had declared a play day, so after a leisurely morning on the boat, we dinghied over to Southwest Allans Cay to check out the Allans Cay Rock Iguanas, which, if you ask me, look pretty much like tiny little dinosaurs. Actually, some...
Fish for breakfast?!?
Well…here I am, behind on blog posts yet again! Those of you who also follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter know that we are now at our home in Michigan for the next few months sitting out hurricane season, visiting with friends and family, and enjoying all the creature...
Abacos Beach Bar Crawl
After spending our first three weeks in the Bahamas at Green Turtle Cay and Manjack Cay, we were eager to head further south towards the Exumas and see more of this beautiful country. What we discovered is that the road to the Exumas, via the Abacos (figuratively speaking of...
Stranded Naked and the Three Little Piggies
That got your attention, huh? Well…read on! On our way to check in to the Bahamas on Green Turtle Cay, we spent a night at Manjack Cay. We were only there long enough to eat some dinner and catch some zzzz’s, but we knew we had to get back!...
We Started to Feel Like We Were Growing Roots!
Aaaahhh….finally got some real sleep! And, now that we were fully rested, finally got a chance to see just how clear the water below us was, and how beautiful our surroundings were. Being here felt like a dream and we had to keep pinching ourselves to realize it was...
Crossing the Gulf Stream
FINALLY, the day we’d been waiting for had arrived! It was time to leave the U.S., cross the Gulf Stream, and realize our dream of sailing to the Bahamas. We’d headed to bed early the night before, but had a VERY hard time sleeping, and the alarm going off...
