Travel Day Jan. 30, 24 (Black Point to Staniel Cay) Travels day #54 plus stats
Scott here. We finally did it. We left Black Point! We were there for 10 days. We would have gone crazy without good cell or internet reception for 10 days. As it is during peak evening hours the load is pretty heavy that our Bahamas Aliv internet is pretty slow. As you may know our…

Travel day #53a stats
Scott here. Ok, don’t look back. The astute already noticed that travel day #54 was changed to travel day #53a. We found out that our Plan C anchorage was full already. It sounded like the big anchorage near our Plan B & A had 100 boats there the other day. Those two anchorages are big…

Travel day Jan. 26, 24 (Black Point to Staniel Cay) Travel day #53a
Scott here. Time to move! We are planning on leaving here and heading north a few miles to Staniel Cay. We have seen all there is to see at Black Point. There are literally less than 12 businesses here! The wind is going to move around Saturday night and come more from the south or…

Travel Day # 53 stats
Scott again! Sorry for all the posts so quickly together. Just getting caught up. As we approach our destination, we use Dotham Cut. Going from one body of water to another between islands is called a cut. This cut will get us to the Great Bahama Bank side of the island. The charts say it is easy to navigate and…

Travel Day Jan. 20, 24 (Prime Cay to Black Point) Travel Day # 53
Scott and his crew changed plans to move due to poor cell and internet signals. They set their sights on Black Point Settlement; 11 miles further north than initially planned. Leaving at first light, they explained boat equipment: a bridle for stability and a bow roller to protect the boat’s bow from the anchor. The…

Scott here. What a day! We finally left George Town, although we are still at Great Exuma Island. We will be here two nights. Tomorrow we want to snorkel a blue hole about 1 mile from here. Then there is a small town we might stop at on the way back. I will let Rita…

We Need Bail Money!!
As we say “see ya later” to the George Town, Great Exuma Island, Exumas Bahamas area, here’s a breakdown of what we’ve been up to the past month or so. We arrived, stayed at Emerald Bay, kids and grandkids visited, we moved the boat to a mooring ball off Stocking Island and then later moved…

Travel day Jan. 18, 24 (Black Cay to Prime Cay) travel day # 52
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…

Travel day Jan. 16, 24 (Monument Beach North Anchorage to Black Cay) Travel day # 51
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…
