Hey why did the generator just stop? So you might think our lives are nothing but drinks on the beach, beautiful sunsets and warm sunshine. Most of the time that’s true. Unfortunately, a few days ago on the way from the Crookeds and Acklins back to the Exumas, the starboard Northern Lights Generator just shut […]

In the calm of Elizabeth Harbour in George Town Exumas the winds seemed pretty light and were forecast to be out of Northwest. So after a hair cut for Beth, a little more grocery shopping and extending John’s tourist card, we looked at the weather and though it would be a good day to head […]

Today is the first day of Jim and Michele Rubeor’s annual Bahama boating adventure with us on “Elizabeth Anne”. We’ve picked them up in Georgetown, Exumas and will spend the next couple of weeks working our way North up the Exuma Islands. We’ve enjoyed Conch Salad and Sands Beer for lunch at the Chat n […]

This morning we woke up in Dollar Harbour off of Long Island to glassy calm seas. This was an overnight stop on the way to George Town, Exumas from Cat Island. It’s a cool little anchorage with yet another very shallow entrance. Explorer Charts show sand banks completely differently. All Visual Piloting getting in here. […]

Crooked Islands Sometimes life offers up a gift and it’s just serendipity. Today was one of those days. We are anchored at French Wells at Crooked Island and so far I’ve (Beth) felt a bit disappointed by our Crooked and Acklins experience. It is a beautiful place, but so far we’ve had a lot of […]

Left Hawks Nest Marina on Cat Island last night and arrived at Acklins Island this morning about 10:30am. This place is huge. In the middle of the bight on our way in between Crooked and Acklins we could barely see land anywhere around us, but as far as the eye could see the water was […]

We’ve caught yellowfin tuna this season which caused me (Beth) to search for new ways to prepare it and I’ve discovered 2 new recipes for seared tuna that are amazing. The first one I tried is: Spicy  Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna Zucchini Salad Piquant, sesame crusted ahi tuna served over a bed of crisp zucchini […]

Just ran from Bennett’s Harbour south to Fernandez Bay on Cat Island. We’re now about 2/3 of the way down Cat. The winds have eased a bit but are still gusty out of the East. Fernandez Bay is a cute little resort in a small bay sheltered from the East wind but very open to […]

We’re assessing the weather now to see if we can make it to the Crooked and Acklins. Looks very remote and like there is some cool cruising and diving inside on the banks between the islands. Looks like we’ve got a good weather window to get there early next week. Now we just have to […]
