When we sailed to Eleuthera, we thought we’d only be here for a few days before heading on to the Exumas. But we’ve stayed a lot longer than a few days. The more time we spend in Eleuthera, the more we fall in love with it. Here’s a recap of our last week and why…
After we left Bimini, we sailed with our friends from S/V Rhiannon for three consecutive days but were able to sleep at night at anchor. The first day we sailed for eleven hours straight east across the Bahama Banks where it is only 15 feet deep.We trolled even though we knew in 15 feet of water we…
I’ve been wanting to get a blog post out for awhile about my love for essential oils. Since we’ve been here for another week in Miami waiting for safe weather to cross over to the Bahamas, I finally have the time to write this post. I have fallen in love with essential oils and their medicinal…

This is one of three reasons we are still here stateside.This is what went down. This past Thursday Marc and I were getting Adagio all ready to make the…
Adagio splashed 7 days ago and she is happy to be back in the water and so are we. Here she was on the hard last week and being transported back to the water. We have been busy this last week unpacking, provisioning, and meeting other boaters. Here’s Camden on the boat with our boxes from…

I had soooo much fun driving the dinghy yesterday. I could only go slow because the sign said I had to go really slow. We had to blow up the dinghy more – Daddy did that. The dinghy and my motorboat had a race – Daddy was the driver of the dinghy and I drove…
–boat fixins that is — There are more projects that we will likely do (ie – adding watermaker and dodger) and likely additional things will break but hey, that just gives us more stuff to blog about — So when we bought the boat and went through the survey, we identified the items that we…
Well, the other day I learned more than I ever thought I would about alternators and then some! We were having issues with our batteries where they would not charge fully and would not keep their charge. A boat without batteries is no bueno. We tried to troubleshoot the problem by researching in Niger Calder’s Mechanical…
