We departed Sarasota at 10:30 AM on Monday morning with bright sunny skies and a slight north wind and preceded south on the ICW to Venice where we turned west out into the Gulf. Once on the Gulf, we plugged in the Gulf Stream …
Favorite One
Tomorrow is still looking like a good day to leave Great Harbour Cay and head to the Abacos. The Red Head crew has much more exploring to do. How will Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora remember their time here?Like this…
Spring 2019 Commissioning
We are happy to be back aboard Idyll Time. Our 3300 mile cross country RV trip went well. We crossed off two National Parks from our bucket list, Hot Springs in Arkansas and Arches in Moab Utah. The highlight of our trip was a week spent along the Oregon Coast. We enjoyed some great hiking […]
April 1 – Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera
“You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it’s all about family.” – Rod Stewart
Our first full day in Eleuthera was spent shopping for supplies, playing in the pool and relaxing at Cocodimama Beach. Our Grands and their Momma’s spent the morning at the neighborhood pool, while the rest of us went into Governor’s Harbour to look around and go to the grocery store…it takes a lot of food to keep 10 people happy.

Finish with a Bang!
Today was (probably) the crew’s final trip to the beach here at Great Harbour Cay. Thursday is shaping up as the perfect day to leave for the Abacos and tomorrow is a walk day. Mom was looking forward to getting some final photos to remember the fun times we all had.
Dee Dee and Dora chased the bumper.
Dora put in a bit of coconut digging.
Dylan and Mom wander down the the beach and found a pyramid. It was looking to be the perfect end to our stay. Then all hell broke loose.
Mom heard a commotion and turned around to see the beach empty of the crew but Dad’s red shorts disappearing into the dunes way down the beach. She ran as fast as poor old Dylan could keep up. Turns out Dee Dee decided to run after a couple walking the beach and Dora somehow slipped her collar and joined in. Eventually, all dogs were corralled and beach time was over. The silver lining – Dee Dee and Dora were so tired they hardly pulled a bit on the way back. Dylan was dragging too.
Listen up girls, this better not be an omen for the rest of our time in the Bahamas…
Mar. 31 – We’re in Eleuthera
“The most important thing in the world is family and love.” – John Wooden
Blogging last week while we were on vacation was just too time consuming and I was having way too much fun playing with our grands, walking on the beach, swimming, listening to the waves from our amazing house and exploring. This week I’ll try and catch up on my posts and share a few more pictures of our wonderful adventure.

City Marina IJDok
City Marina IJDok was an exceptional winter home for us. We were lucky to get a spot in the small marina in downtown Amsterdam that is an easy walk to the train station and countless restaurants and attractions. In addition to exploring the city and enjoying the Amsterdam Light Festival and the city’s extensive New…
Alligators?
Dylan encountered an alligator during his walk on the beach. He had no idea there were alligators in the Bahamas…
Mighty Happy Dogs
Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora sure love a dinghy ride. Just look at those faces!
Wasted Money?
Mom spends loads of money buying a variety of bumpers and other floating toys so the crew can have fun on the beach.
So what’s the favorite one? The old water bottle or flip flop or other floating trash that washes up on the beach. Sigh….
