Well, after hemming and hawing and waiting (for 9 days) for the weather to be favorable, we finally moved from Great Guana Cay to No Name Cay. The kicker with this short trip is The Whale. The Whale is named after Whale Cay. To get around Whale Cay many boats don’t have the option to… Continue reading The Whale

Great Guana Cay, Abaco
Well, we wish we had more time in Hope Town to explore, but we had to duck and run from the next storm front. Also we headed to Great Guana Cay and Orchid Bay Marina. We knew the Marina wasn't best for south winds, but as they clock around we will be fine. And the… Continue reading Great Guana Cay, Abaco
Hope Town!
It's just a short jaunt across the Sea of Abaco to go from Marsh Harbour to Hope Town. There is a marina (super tiny!) and a mooring field (usually pretty crowded!) and lots of room to anchor. Just after dropping anchor, Jason heard the bilge pump running again, and we figured out how to stop… Continue reading Hope Town!
The Abacos…Finally!
Well, after a day of fun in Spanish Wells we needed to run for cover from more weather. We headed north through the Sea of Abacos. The forecast seas were 3 feet on a 9 second interval. That they weren't, and the littler ones added to fun. Dance Me started off in the lead. They… Continue reading The Abacos…Finally!
And on to the Abacos!
We have waited a month to see the Abacos. Weather has been icky-pooh (technical term. Again, masters degree in meteorology so.....supposed techical term expert). But we made it! An early morning to head to the Abacos. With the weather as it was, we were headed to Lynyard Cay. Seas weren't too bad, but according to… Continue reading And on to the Abacos!
Northern Eleuthra
We are a few days behind. But we crossed from the Berry Islands to Eleuthra on Friday, March 8th. Some people that Colin and Sue met on SV Sirena told them about Egg Island. So that's where we headed. When we dropped anchor, I sent a message to our friends Dave and Mary (SV Luck… Continue reading Northern Eleuthra
Eleuthra and Egg Cay
Today was another crossing. It wasn't as big as some, but still open water for miles and miles. We jumped from the Berrys to Eleuthra today. The crew from Sirena told Colin and Sue (SV Dream Chaser's crew) about Egg Cay. While we had been planning to jump to Eleuthra, but we had a new… Continue reading Eleuthra and Egg Cay
To White Cay
Hours of boredom followed by moments of terror. Last night we had our turn at dragging anchor. Our anchorage was marked as poor holding on the charts, but we had held for 30+ hours. Then the winds came out of the east with a squall line, and the anchorage wasn't good for east winds. Two… Continue reading To White Cay
The Berrys!!
We made it to the Berry Islands yesterday! After 71.3 miles, we anchored in Bullocks Harbor. It seemed like all the cargo ships were not moving. We never pass them. Could this be Bermuda and not the Bahamas? Finally one passed us. Whew! As we got to Great Stirrup Cay and Little Stirrup Cay you… Continue reading The Berrys!!
