We finally left Georgetown after 4 weeks on the mooring ball. It was a great stop, but we were there just a little too long. The weather kept us a little longer. We had a pretty strong storm move through packing over 60 mph winds. The sail up from Georgetown was good, we had the […]

Week 2 in George Town Had some good times and some not so good of times. My sister and her family came to visit, we were able to go snorkeling a little and hang out at the beach bars. The weather stayed fairly well, all except for 1 day that had some high winds. The

We have been in Georgetown for a little over a week. The wind kept us down for a couple days, however once it got a little lighter we ventured out for a hike on Stocking Island and also practiced wing surfing. We also spent time with our friends on Chill Out, we had some delicious

We are still at anchor in Georgetown, the winds have been howling but we are safe and secure so far on a mooring ball. We still have a few more days of forecasted high winds. One of the sad points of this adventure, I can not get out lobster hunting in this weather, so we

Today we did not leave the boat, we charged up the batteries and filled the diesal fuel tank from our gerry cans and watched some movies. The winds are expected to be 25 to 30 with gusts up to 40 through Thursday. It will be good to visit the island for a workout and hike.

We spent the day running into Georgetown for a few groceries to hold us over until the winds die down during the week. We also had a few drinks on the beach relaxing in our water chairs and talking with our friends from some other boats. After the beach day we went to our first

Today was a pretty chill day, we hiked the lower side of stocking island and went to the beach for a few hours in the afternoon. We also moved from the anchorage to a mooring ball for some upcoming weather. We will be well protected here. The nice thing about being in an area with

I had to invert the picture above,, but we did a little beach art today. we spent 4 days at lee stocking island and they were some of the best so far. the anchorage was great, it had several beaches, strong holding and just enough boats to be social without the craziness of Staniel cay

The last week we have been slowly exploring some of the islands, after we sailed from Waderick Wells back to Big Majors, we decided to sail to Black Point, there were a few places to eat and some good exploring to be had. We stayed there for 2 days then sailed to Lee Stocking Island.

The last few days we went from anchoring on both sides of Big Majors Cay to sailing back North to Warderick Wells. On Saturday 1-6-23 we had a slow but enjoyable downwind sail from Big Majors to the headquarters of the Exuma Land and Sea Park in Waderick Wells. the water here is perfect, there

We started off the day doing chores, did some laundry at the Liquormat and got some groceries. The Liquormat was great , sat at a bar had a few beers while the laundry was washing. Never thought laundry could be so much fun. We met some great people while we were there also. Once back

We left Big Major Cay on Jan. 2 , it was only about a 6 mile sail to get to Bitter Iguana, once there we relaxed for the day and made some pasta salad for dinner. still no fish or lobster… Today we decided to explore the island Bitter guana. A fascinating history of Iguana

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

We have been enjoying staying in 1 spot for a few days, the anchorage at Big Majors is really starting to fill up. Last night we went to the beach to meet some fellow cruisers, we planned on a beach fire but forgot the lighter on the boat… maybe next time. Also we are getting

We explored Stainiel Cay today, had our first meal off the boat in awhile and also snorkeled Thunderball grotto. Thunderball Grotto is a underwater cave and was used in the filming of two James Bond movies and is a must-see for divers and snorkelers. The water was crystal clear and i went through several underwater
