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...

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...
Wind for Days (aka Our Ten Day Stay in Nassau…)
While we would have loved to have stayed in Bimini for a day or two to check it out, an upcoming weather front unfortunately dictated otherwise. If we didn’t continue on right away, we’d be stuck there for quite some time. And so, on we moved to Nassau, New...
Crossing the Gulf Stream – Take Two!
Those of you who have been following us for a while may remember that last year we hung out in Lake Worth for about three weeks waiting on a weather window to cross to the Abacos in the northern Bahamas, and when we finally got our window, conditions ended...
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...
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...
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!...
