Every year, during the last full weekend in April, the National Family Island Regatta is held in Elizabeth Harbor in Georgetown, Exuma. This is not to be confused with the annual Cruisers’ Regatta which is held at the end of February/beginning of March each year. The Cruisers’ Regatta is...
Friends
Welcome to Bimini!
We were seriously beginning to think this day may never come. Well…at least for this season. We’d even started toying around with the idea of heading down to the Florida Keys instead if there wasn’t a decent weather window for crossing to the Bahamas soon. Of course the Keys...
Escape From Indiantown
Aaaahhhh….we finally escaped the friendly grip of the Indiantown Marina Party Posse! After a relatively uneventful 19 mile motor down the St. Lucie Canal on the Okeechobee Waterway, we dropped the hook in the Pendarvis Cove Anchorage in Stuart, Florida. Hard to believe that it had been almost nine...
Indiantown Marina Party Posse (aka How NOT to Get Any Work Done!)
As you may recall, on our first night back at Indiantown back in November, we went to a catered dinner that had been provided by the marina. We’d met Ellen on Tickety Boo last spring and she’d seen us hanging out by ourselves that night, so had come over...
We’re Ba-ack!
Well…I didn’t do such a great job of updating the blog last winter, so let’s see if I can do better this time around! We’ve been on the boat now since the middle of November, but finally just crossed to Bimini on February 16th, so thought it was about...
Black Point – Part 2
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...
How We Wasted Away a Month in Titusville
O.K., so truthfully most of it wasn’t wasted time…we just couldn’t believe we ended up staying docked at a marina there for an entire month! That was the longest Radio Waves had sat still since being on the hard over the winter back in Michigan! The folks at Titusville...
Playing Catch Up…
Wow…I have NOT been doing a good job of keeping you all up to date on our travels lately. Sorry! Gonna work hard on rectifying this, starting right here and now with this post. When we last left you, we were going through bridges trying to make our way...
Annapolis Sail Boat Show
We’d been talking about going to the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland for several years, but had never made it out there. Instead, each winter we would drive (several times in blinding snowstorms!) to Chicago for the Strictly Sail Show, which up until this year had been...
