    Scott here. Today is a travel day as we officially leave Great Exuma Island. It isn’t “Goodbye” but “See ya later!” Prime Cay is a new addition as we took out Lee Stocking Island. There were some “ruins”, an old research facility we wanted to explore, but it has been purchased and is being revamped…

    Scott here. This one is a shot in the dark, like most of our plans from now until we get to Bimini – unless we cross back from Freeport. We are making this up, sort of, as we go! Today’s plan was yesterday’s plan, but after finishing our errands we decided to stay put. The…

    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 had a relaxing travel day, moving to a new mooring ball and testing the Blackwater Bazooka. The device worked well, allowing them to discharge waste legally.

    The couple has been at Emerald Bay Marina for 18 days, recently navigating challenges like driving on the left in a rented car.

    Scott recounts a journey from Staniel Cay to Great Exuma’s Marina at Emerald Bay on December 12, 2023, noting the potential for an extended stay due to early arrival. He mentions the famous Fyre Festival, supposed to occur nearby. The journey started later than planned due to an obstructed exit, and cutting through the islands…

  • Travel day Dec. 12, 23 (Staniel Cay to George Town) Travel day #47

    Scott here. This has been our destination from the start. Christmas in the Bahamas with all three kids and six grandkids. They will be in their Airbnb next week. We are so excited. As you may know the weather will really suck for the next 5-7 days. At least for traveling on a boat. So,…

    On December 11, 2023, Scott traveled from Hawksbill Cay to Staniel Cay, taking longer than planned due to a relaxed pace. From January 1, 2024, all travels will be unhurried. Scott considers Staniel Cay Yacht Club’s rates comparatively cheap compared to other marinas. He mentioned enjoying fresh grouper fingers and decent pizza during the journey.
