Today we did a big re-provisioning trip to the big store here called “Maxwell’s”.  Prices here were much more reasonable than other ports and the selection was much better. They were only about double what things cost in the states, which is about half of what we saw for prices everywhere else. Here’s another “big Read More

Happy Birthday Dean! We left Green Turtle Cay today.  Following our friends on “Amel” we were heading out of the channel during low tide… They supposedly have a 6 foot draft, so when we followed them out the channel we didn’t think twice about running aground, we have a 5.5 foot draft… SURPRISE! We ran Read More

Found that locals here are amazing. We decided to save some $$ by not taking a ferry or renting a golf cart to go the 2-3 miles to town, so we walked. Here’s a picture of Cathy holding up a palm tree along the way… Within less than a half mile, a nice gentleman in Read More

Finally have some Internet access so I can update the blog. On Monday the 19th, we left West End and sailed up to around Memory Rock, where I jumped in the water to check the underside of the boat, we stayed the night on the bank… Pretty cool, anchoring in 15 feet of water with no Read More

Here we are in Old Bahama Bay recouping… Here’s some pictures! Here’s where we sit right now, in the slip. A quick selfie in a hammock A look down the beach… And of course they do have a pool here… Well, now that I’ve updated that, it’s bedtime! Hopefully we’ll be all recovered tomorrow and Read More

Pretty rough passage across to West End, there was coast guard alert about a large piling, so I sat on the bow with a big spotlight making sure we didn’t hit any pilings, and there were about 6 foot seas there… Seas started getting taller so I headed back to the cockpit. Not sure how big Read More

We’ve got our window, we’re going to head for the Bahamas from Lake Worth inlet in Florida to West End Bahamas at around 10pm tonight. Automatic position updates to follow via satellite, no blog updates until we can find Internet in the Bahamas! We appreciate your prayers and best wishes.  

Today we pretty much watched the world go by today… It started out with me waking up to a new “noise”. Understand, living on the boat is all about “noises”. You hear a new noise, and you have to learn what it is, and whether or not it’s a “good” noise or a “bad” noise. Read More

As we were coming down the ICW (Inter-Coastal Waterway), no matter how much you know about the clearances, it’s still a little freaky going through/under bridges. Here’s a drawbridge as we go through… And here’s a couple of “under the bridge” shots…   Captain Cathy drove the whole way both days, no hit’s, runs, or errors, Read More
