We’ve caught up with old friends Toni and OL Thompson who have a home on nearby Elbow Cay so we stay anchored at Tilloo for another day. It’s a great chance to try out our new toys so we splash in our new kayak appropriately named an Abaco. We get in an afternoon of Bocce […]
Finally we have some nice weather and it seems like the whole marina is heading out for a couple days. We are pretty excited to see some more of the Abacos too. We head out to Tilloo Cay, anchor out at the northern end near Tahiti Beach, and set out to do a little exploring […]
After a wonderful Christmas and New Years holiday with family, we’ve had a classic planes, trains, and automobiles comedy to get back to Marsh Harbor. We had the extra bonus of getting to spend Chris’s Birthday with him in Atlanta, while negotiating the ice storm. Now we’re back at Boat Harbor Marina and experiencing the […]
On to Marsh Harbor where we will be in a marina for the holidays. We’re actually at the Abaco Beach Resort and Boat Harbor Marina, highly recommended by many. We met Glen, the dock master, at the Ft Lauderdale boat show, so we had a little preview. It’s a pretty big marina with a really […]
Hope Town is a small little harbor on Elbow Cay, with a couple of marinas, lots of mooring balls, and a light house. I’m anxious to do a little Christmas shopping, so we head in to check it out. I find some new treasures in a couple of the boutiques and we learn that there […]
The winds have settled a bit and we need to continue on our journey to Marsh Harbor where we will leave the boat for Christmas. There are still a couple places we’d like to stop on our way. One of those is Great Guana Cay, where we want to check out Nippers, a bar and […]
We chose to head on today because we have one more small outside passage to do around Whale Cay and the winds are shifting around to the north for some of the classic Northers the Bahamas gets in the winter. It’s nice to find a well protected marina or anchorage during those windy, blustery days. […]
Left Mangrove Cay after a lovely sunrise, and had a very calm day motoring to Spanish Cay and the Spanish Cay Marina. Here we checked in to the Bahamas so now we’re official. It’s very quiet here at the moment with only one other sailboat in the marina and a couple of power boats just […]
It’s a beautiful Tuesday morning, and we have perfect conditions for our departure. We leave at dawn on an incoming tide with dozens of small fishing boats. The water is so calm and beautiful. The run across to the Bahamas is like motoring in a bathtub. I’ve never seen an ocean so calm and glassy. […]
We’ve spent so much money our visa has cut us off!! Let’s see: 4 days in the marina, 350 gallons of fuel, one stand-up paddleboard, one kayak, all the toys to go with those, fishing equipment, rental car to schlep all that, plus the requisite trip to Walmart for more food and supplies. It’s all stowed, […]
