Happy New Year!! I hope 2024 is a great year for everyone.. The picture above is a picture that i envisioned taking for over 5 years, this trip is not only about enjoying life a little , while we are still able too, but also achieving another goal . This goal of sailing to the Bahamas was a goal we set 5 years ago, with planned to come here in 5 to 10 years. But with working hard and planning properly we were able to come here on the earlier end of the time frame. It has been a great journey so far, not always perfect of course, sometimes a passage is long and rough and the boat does not want to cooperate, or anchoring for the night turns into a washing machine due to swell, or something breaks, Then there are the days that are pretty perfect, today is one, the weather is great and we are staying on anchor with a very calm bay. The only issue we have with where we are anchored is the amount of other boats and super yachts that use the area as a playground. Jet skies and fast boats are flying around the anchorage most of the day. So our next plan is getting on the move again, we do not know where yet,, we will let the wind decide for us, there is still alot to explore in the Exumas.
In the picture above there is also something that chased me out of the water while i took the picture.. Well it might not of cared i was there, but in my head it wanted to eat me for breakfast. hint– it is on the lower right hand side.
“Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.” –Bear Bryant
