We put the dinghy into the water (aka our car) and were off to Alice Town. This is such a cute place! Before lunch we decided to explore and were quite impressed by the fire engine and station. We have found the friendliest people here, just passing their house they call out "good mornin' friend". …
Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera Bahamas
We have plotted our course to Hatchet Bay, noting on the chart there are several areas of shallow(ish) water at mean low tide. We need to make Current Cut into Exuma Sound at high tide while the tide is slack, and the tidal surge is low. I took Harmony out of Royal Island Harbor while …
Windy Anchorage
We wake to an absolutely beautiful day. There's a turtle swimming around the harbor and I decide to take a swim. One toe in the water and I change my mind, it's a little too cold. Instead we spend the day re-organizing the jerrycans, rain gear, storage locker and fenders. Time in the cockpit is …
Royal Island Harbor
We left Lucaya yesterday at 1130, as the weather is turning sour, we're running to Royal Island Harbor while we can. After crazy winds the past few days things are calm(ish) at 15 kts and seas at 5 feet. Very doable, so off we go. We actually can sail for 16 hours! That's new for …
Exploring Lucaya
We decided to walk to the resort and beach on the ocean side of the marina. Down the road, around the block and half way back again we arrive. What a sight! White sand, turquoise seas and blue skies. Paradise no doubt. Brisk winds continue with a window opening within the next few days. Fabian, …
ARG! We’ve Been Boarded By a Pirate
We walked to the straw market and had lunch at Zorba's. Who knew Lucaya has some of the best Greek food ever! The prices are good, the portions are huge and the food is fabulous! While we were walking off our lunch, we came across a new friend. A monkey, pirate. His name is "Babushka …
Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
Another beautiful sunrise on the ocean. I can see Freeport and the big ships coming and going from the port on AIS. It always seems the big ships are closer than they actually are. Since we're early for arrival we're just lollygagging along to waste time. I'm practicing my knot skills since I really need …
Bahamas Here We Come!
We had planned on leaving 2 days ago, but the golf stream had other ideas. Reports were seas 10 feet with northerly swells, this is not good for crossing the gold stream so we sat, waiting, waiting... Finally, we left the dock at 1230. I took Harmony out through the channel on motor in light …
Eye follow-up
Time to see D. Baudo for my eye follow-up. I still have some flashes and a foggy film over my left eye. Good news, I am released from his care and we are free to travel! Hooray, hooray!!! Our friends Joe and Michelle have been praying me up again. Thanks y'all, love you bunches. We …
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!
Christmas was a quiet day around here with the bar/restaurant being closed. We spent New Year's eve afternoon at Rafiki Tiki with our best bartender friend Billy. Folks, listen up here, Billy makes a mean dirty martini. We're here about every other day or so for happy hour because, well, the food is delish, the …
