The end of a great journey

Image
  It’s been a wild journey….  For years, the thought of buying a sailboat and setting sails to far away places was just a distant dream in our minds. Mike would pour relentlessly through websites looking at boats for sale,  reading and researching always to achieve the goal.  Finally on June 10th 2018 we bought our boat named Honah Lee II. A Canadian boat no less, made in Montreal. A Corbin 39. We were in awe just looking at it. We had taken a few courses at the Hamilton Yacht club on a little 24 foot Shark but this new boat was considerably bigger and it would become our new home for years to come.  At the end of July 2019, we moved permanently to our new floating home. We sold our house, our cars and stored our furniture in a sea container on my sister’s property. The adventure began on September 12th as we left the dock, not without clipping it as we cast off and set sail into the sunset as the proverbial saying goes.  Our journey took us from our marina...

Leaving the Bahamas

 Leaving the Bahamas.... It’s been a fabulous experience visiting the Bahamas with our sailboat. So many places to see and  things to do but unfortunately we’re not able to do it all. It would take years to explore all the island and then some. The one thing that we have to say is that the Bahamas are the people. It’s their greatest treasure. They are the friendliest, kindest, generous and most caring people that we’ve ever met. For them alone, we would definitely come again. On our last week before crossing to Turks and Caicos, we were in Atwood Harbor waiting out yet again another 2 windy days.  Took the dinghy to shore and was greeted by the local police. Never found out how they knew we were on the beach because the hamlet  is a fair distance for our anchorage and not visible from the road. Some things will always remain a mystery lol. When we reached the intersection on the main road, the one and only car that we saw during our time in the village was a Rasta dr...

The outer Islands

Image
  We   This blog is different from the others. We had some really great photos that we wanted to share with you but didn’t have much to talk about so we hope you’ll enjoy them. We stayed 3 weeks at anchor in Thompson Bay, Long Island waiting for a good weather window to cross a 49 nautical miles stretch in the open Atlantic. We wanted to enjoy it and not be bashed around with big waves and heavy winds. The crossing was a bit rough in the beginning but got much better as we progressed. We have arrived in the outer islands which quite remote and sparsely populated. We have to make sure that we’re well provisioned in food, water and fuel since there is very little to be had in this island chain. We’re finally seeing the Bahamas that we’d hope to see. Beautiful beaches, clear pristine water, sea life, small mountains and absolutely wonderful people. This morning leaving Albert Town, on Crooked Island there was very little wind, not enough to put up sails. No matter because wi...
