All of our visitors made it home today. Michael was the last with a delay in Denver. We caught up on a few things and thought about a plan to sail to Cat Island tomorrow for an exploration. Cat Island is about 45 miles away so a good sail across Exuma Sound. It should be

Today we went on an exploration in a motor boat. We rented a small boat from Minn’s water sports early in the morning to explore the harbor and some reefs. We left our dinghy there and picked up the boat and came back across the harbor to pick up Jeff and Deb. They had made

Errands and boat chores filled the morning as we planned spaghetti night on Josie for Jeff and Deb. Sand is difficult to keep out of the boat. A beach seems to be forming on Josie. It would be nice to have a washdown system in the cockpit. Our solar shower system may make this possible.

There was a moderate wind from the east, making the sound side a bit rough. Yet on the cruisers net, was a notice of a spearfishing expedition to be held at 1:00 pm. It was made by a young person for young people but we did not hear that part. David and Jeff were all

It was Fat Tuesday’s big day. We started in the morning with a trip to George Town. David rowed over as it was down wind and we then motored through the narrow bridge into the harbor. We did water, trash and cash. We visited the bread stand and bought some small baked goods, banana bread

It was a windy night with gusts to 27 mph in some parts of the harbor. Morning was cloudy and sprinkling at times. After pancakes, we did some boat work: charging, put up a new battery light strand, some cleaning, more organizing. We could not go far in the dinghy but wanted to at least

The morning started a little cloudy and breezy. We did some boat cleaning. Everything gets damp and mildew likes to assert itself. We did some cleaning of the bedroom cabinets. We also put away the winter clothes except for a sweatshirt each which we might need on cooler windy evenings. We had quite a collection

This is an amazing place, a beautiful playground. We are moored off the Chat +Chill restaurant which is nestled amongst the trees off a white sand beach. We are in blue water. Around us are other boats with toys: paddle boards, small sailing boats, kayaks. There are adults, kids and dogs. Started the morning with

Left Galliot as soon as there was good light to see the water in the cut. The other boat left before us and we followed. There was a little current against the wind but the wind was light and the waves were not high. We once again ventured beyond the depths of our depth-finder as

Headed through the Camino Real Blvd. Bridge and on down the waterway. We had made a list of possible anchorages and their mile markers on the ICW and their relationship to bridges. The first few were uninhabited so we were concerned. We were thinking of a place called sunset bay but when we got there,
