Scot here. Quick lay over and it is time to go. If we stay 3 days we have to stay 4 as the weather looks bad on the 11th. This marina is too expensive for that and we need to get some miles under the belt. It is becoming pretty hard to find anchorages with…

Scott here with our long travel day stats! January 14, 2024 was a travel day as we left the mooring field at Sand Dollar Beach at Stocking Island. Our intended destination was Hooper’s Bay. But, once we got in there it was looking rocky. Thinking back, with the position of the sun, I don’t believe…

Scott here. Yes, we are still around and still in the Bahamas! Eventually, Rita will put out a post or two with some photos of the area. It is sooooooo beautiful. I just don’t get tired of looking at the harbor. There are a number of trails that lead to the Sound side of the…

Scott here. The weather looks so much better today. Forecast at 13-15 mph with 2′ waves. After sitting at a beautiful island for a couple of days I guess it is time to go. It should be noted we didn’t go swimming due to the waves, wind, and current. Except for that time when I…
