I can’t believe our little Maria (nickname Rascal) turned three on April 26. Even though we still call her “the baby”, it hit me on her birthday that she’s really growing up. Marc and I comment on a frequent basis how much Maria has matured during our short time thus far at sea. This was a low…
After Warderick Wells we sailed south to Staniel Cay. We met lots of new friends from other cruisers to local Bahamians on Staniel. We dropped anchor around noon on April 21 and dinghyed over to town because we were hoping to find some food outside of our carbohydrate genre (on the boat our lunch options are either cheese…
Ahhhhh…life is good. Truly life has never been better. We have not had internet for weeks but I’m plugged in today so I’m blogging like a madwoman. We are loving The Exumas and can’t rave about it enough. Everyone told us the water in The Exumas is the best in the Caribbean and they were…
Disclaimer: Blog posts like this one are not to come across as ‘holier than thou’ or that we are better than other cruisers. That is not our intention at all nor do we think that. We write this blog to keep in contact with family and friends but also to record our trip so that Marc,…
We are currently in New Providence (island where Nassau is). But Bimini was so much fun. We hung out in Bimini for a week with lots of other sailboats, including our friends on Rafiki.Kathryn carried Maria around everywhere.We left Bimini last week with a bunch of other boats. Here we are heading out of Bimini.We…
Last Sunday we woke up at 3 am and made a calm and uneventful crossing to The Bahamas. The kids loved waking up to see the sun rise in front of our bow.It is WAY laid back here in The Bahamas, just like everyone had warned. As we approached Bimini we tried to hail The…
This is our last day in the US for awile. I am very exided about The Bahamas. I’m stil hoping to see a shark. And catch fish. We have had fun in Miami and Biscayne Bay. 2 days ago I caht this crab in Elliott Key. I named him CJ (Cam and Joellen). He did…
Provisioning. It’s a subject that liveaboard cruisers discuss often, along with subjects like anchors and the head. Last month I went to a seminar at the Miami Boat Show called “Cruising for Women”. We discussed everything from docking to doing laundry by hand to provisioning. The provisioning advice that was given was take what you like to…
Yes we are alive! And we are in Miami! I always pictured myself one day going to Miami and it being like the Will Smith video “Welcome to Miami”. You know, driving down the street in a convertible, hitting South Beach and salsa dancing till the wee hours of the morning. Reality check…we drove down…
The answer is…in the US you can’t go any lower. We just got back from a quick 2 day trip to Key West. We drove down instead of sailing because Key West is really down there so it would take us a few days to sail. And we are tight on time, hoping to head…
