You just never know what the wind will bring. The night we anchored out back in February, turned out to be basically the end of my boating season 2015/2016. Within a week I was back in Queen Valley, AZ (my parents winter home) for health…

Ok then, let’s move on

Exuma Land and Sea Park
After many moths of travel and waiting out weather at marinas, we have reached the Exuma Islands, this years destination. This chain of islands starts about thirty miles south of Nassau. The mostly uninhabited series of Cays (pronounced Keys by locals) runs north to south. Boats can travel both sides of the Cays. There […]
Great Harbour to Exumas
Note: sorry for the lack of photos. Will post more when we have better internet. Great Harbour to Whale Cay: The weather continues to delay our travel. We were up at 0600 for an early departure to Nassau. Checking the radar we see storms brewing off the Florida coast heading toward the Bahamas. It’s decision […]
Bimini to Great Harbour
Today is a long travel day of 97 miles to Great Harbour. The seas are calm but thunderstorms are forecast later this afternoon. Our route today takes us to the north end of Bimini where we pick up the Moselle Bank Channel at North Rock Light. This is basically a small rock with a […]
Dead in the water at sea?
I always wondered how the boat would behave in a sea of 4-5′, with a total loss of power. Surprisingly quite well. We tested Sylken Sea during our fishing trip.

Marathon to South Bimini
Marathon to Rodrigues: ( will add photos when we have better wifi) Finally, we are on our way to the Bahamas after being in Marathon for two months. We have a short two day window to cross the Gulf Stream. Many of the boats here at the Marina have canceled their trip to the Bahamas […]

Marathon
Wow, it’s hard to believe we have been in Marathon for almost two months. The time has gone quickly. Our original plan was to stay for only one month. The brisk winds have been nonstop making travel to the Bahamas almost impossible. We were just happy to have a secure dock to hide out. Others […]
Windlass Part 2
With some help from DeBond and some long range coaching from Scotty we got this bad boy free from the deck. Now tear down, assemble and fingers crossed back in business.
