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…
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…
