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...
Oh, There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays!
This was to have been our first Christmas by ourselves, but we just couldn’t do it. We had been hard at work on boat projects in the work yard at Indiantown Marina for several weeks, and the plan was to launch Radio Waves on December 22nd and start our...
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...
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...
