This is an awesome rock formation for all you geology types, I think a plutonic plug? Jim, Steve, your thoughts? Definitely of young volcanic origin.

At Anchor, Martinique
Ste. Anne anchorage, yes it is a busy place, we anchor way out, lots of boats still but spread out so you have enough privacy, clear water, nice breezes.
Windlass Part 3
The angle drive had worked lose, same as previous. This time I had the proper degrease cleaner and proper Loctite and Permatex sealant/thread locker on board. Again text and voice coaching from Scotty (Scott Wiley Marine Services) and we ha…
Cambridge to Big Majors Spot
Cambridge to Big Majors Spot: After blowing a steady 20-30 mph for the past four days, the winds have finally subsided to 10-15 mph. It’s time to continue south. It looks like most of the nine other boats in the Cambridge mooring field are also taking advantage of this opportunity. We had hoped to jump […]
Ok then, let’s move on
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…

Exuma Land and Sea Park

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. We intentionally shut the boat down and did some drift fishing in 4-5′ seas. The sail boat crowd did not even flinch. For us it was like Bequia and Friendly bay at anchor when the swell moves in.
