Today was our final day in Great Harbor, we arrived on Monday and we feel its time. Today we walked the entire island, it is only 6 miles long and a little over a mile wide, but it was hot. And after coming down the ICW for 2 months, we are feeling a little out […]

We are currently waiting out a weather window for the next leg of our journey, we want to get to Devils Cay in the Berry Islands, the cut is narrow so the winds and seas need to be calm or we can end up on the reef. That is not a place we want to

Today we took the dinghy for a 5 mile ride to Shark creek, it is a narrow cut between island that goes from the Bahamas bank to the atlantic ocean. It was a shallow passage where we seen a shark, turtle and ray. I decided to go for a quick snorkel and seen a few

Today we filled our fuel tank with the remaining diesal fuel on deck and ran to the only place to fuel on the northern part of the island chain to refill. After we went and snorkeled on a old plane wreck( the pictures did not come out good) and then found a nice beach to

Today we left the comfort of a dock and ventured out on our own, we had our longest passage at 64 miles, the seas were a little steep and the wind was coming from behind, so the boat was a little tough to control. It took us about 10 hours. We plan on staying here

Not too much going on today, another run in the morning, and then a rainy day, spent an hour in the hot tub in the rain, which wasnt so bad. We did take the paddle boards out for the hour the sun shined also. We are looking forward to going to the next area to

We finally got a run in, it was only 3 miles , but half was on the sand, so i think it is equal to 50 miles. We did walk into town to get a Bahamas sim card for our tablet, as a just in case mode of communication. it also helps with talking to

We left the marina we checked into and sailed about 20 miles to a small marina near freeport. It took about 3 and a half hours , and the weather was great. Once we arrived a bunch of boaters had a pot luck style thanksgiving celebration, the food was great, we contributed some venison sausage

Today we were up at 12:30 am hoping to catch a perfect weather window to cross the gulf. Well the weather was not perfect, so we were delayed a little. At 5:30, we set sail, going through the inlet was very rough, the boat was being tossed around, once into open ocean it was almost

Well this is it, the boat is as ready as its going to be, and so are we… Tomorrow we leave at 1:30 AM for our first ocean sail and trip to the Bahamas on our boat. We did some final chores today, laundry, haircut and some last minute purchases for this adventure. We will

We traveled from Jensen Beach to West Palm today, it was only 37 miles, but it took forever, We had several bridges that needed to be opened for us, they are all on schedules and unfortunately our boat is too slow to always meet those schedules, so we lost time there. Then the amount of

Today we were able to motor sail again, the winds were about 15 mph from the North, so directly behind us. We made the 47 mile trip in pretty quick time, except for 1 bridge that held us up. We got to Jensen Beach and anchored rite next to the mooring field. After a quick

After a very sleepless and stormy night, we decided to leave Titusville around 7:30 AM, it was still foggy and rainy, but we were ready to move on. The photo above is once we got further South, looking back at where we were. The storm was pretty comparable to Tropical Storm Opheilla a few months

The last few days were boat project days, tested the water maker and I am glad we did because the impeller for the pump was bad. So I ordered a couple, we will pick them up once we get to Jensen Beach. Currently we are still at anchor waiting for a large almost tropical storm

Today , While the weather was horrible, we decided to provision for the Bahamas, so we rented a car, since it was cheaper than taking an uber to Walmart. We left with 2 large carts and hopefully enough food to last 6 months. The boat is stuffed every little nook is filled with something. Tomorrow
