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 […]

Trisa Koch and Beth on Boo Boo Hill at Wardrick Wells, Exuma Park, Bahamas.  Fantastic sunny day with light winds.  We’re cruising south to Out Islands with Steve and Trisa on “Family Business”

Yup, Winds clocked around to the North last night as advertised and Allens Cay anchorage got a little rolly especially at high tide. So we’ve come into Highbourne Cay Marina and Resort for the next couple of days. Made some new friends tonight over cocktails on Dan and Sandy’s boat, SANDANA. It’s a great looking […]

We’ve arrived back in the Exumas. I just can’t believe the color of the water here in the Bahamas. What you see in the picture is 8′ deep crystal clear water between Allens and Leaf Cay in the northern Exumas. We have tucked in between the islands in anticipation of a weather front coming through […]
