March 17 – March 23, 2019 After 7 weeks in Georgetown with boats so close you could pass the sugar and hear their heads flush, it was time to leave! We had a decent weather window for the 52 nautical mile sail which would take about 10 hours to reach Cat Island. Leaving Georgetown with …
March 17, 2019 The cast of Gilligan’s Island set out for a three-hour tour. The crew of Music & Lyrics set out to visit Georgetown for two-weeks. Both cast and crew were dead wrong about how long it would take to get off that island. Which is why I consider Georgetown the Mafia of the …
January 25, 2019 8’ breaking swells, followed by 4-6’ rolling swells times 5 hours will take its toll on your yacht. Beside the fact that my sea shells tried to hop back into the sea underway, my knife block wanted to wash itself in the galley sink, and my fake candles wanted a nap on …
January 18, 2019 As yet another new front was on its way, with expected sustained winds in the high 20s and gusts in the 30s, sigh, we decided we needed to boogie down the Exumas and get somewhere that a) would be less affected by the constant weather shenanigans, b) had plenty of hidey holes …
January 16, 2019 The sail from Highbourn to Cambridge Cay was fantastic. We had both the main and genoa up, averaged 7.5 knots and arrived with enough time for me to take a quick snorkel under the boat before my first meeting at 12n. However, the entrance to Cambridge is not for the faint of …

January 7, 2019 After our pleasant visit at Allen’s Cay came to an end and it was time to move on, we chose Compass Cay so we could swim with the sharks. But first, we needed to duck into the island next door to get some fresh food. Donning our marriage-saver headsets, I make my …
January 5, 2019 On Saturday, we took off from Rose Island around 9a for the 6-hour sail to Allen’s Cay, which is best known as the first stop for those wanting to explore the Exumas. In Allen’s Cay, there are prehistoric iguanas inhabiting the islands and lots of sailors pass through here for the day …
December 28, 2018 With a new front coming our way, we decided to duck behind Rose Island, which is a smallish island east of New Providence and Paradise Islands. We were excited to see we wouldn’t be alone riding out the storm at anchor, as there were about 8 other boats anchored nearby. We sailed …
December 23, 2018 We left at 4am from Fort Lauderdale heading to Bimini, Bahamas. Tossing the lines was easy. Navigating out of the channel was easy. Getting around the massive cruise ships, not so easy. Me: “Honey, is that a cruise ship?” Erik: “Yep, that be a cruise ship.” Me: “Is it underway?” Erik: “Not …
November 30, 2018 Don’t let the post title fool you – we are NOT calling it quits on this boat. Not by a long shot. Read on. Last week, I told you all about the shenanigans with anchoring at New Smyrna Beach. It was, shall I say, “uncomfortable” being at anchor there. At Rockhouse, we …
