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...

Good days and bad days

Image
Yesterday was a really bad day....after waiting out the gale winds in Morehead, North Carolina we were looking forward to moving again. Wanting to get fuel before getting underway we headed for the local fuel dock at slack water.  Unfortunately the cross current and winds pushed us into the corner of the fuel dock and we were unable to recover from that so it put a nasty scratch on the side of the boat. We absolutely felt sick to our stomachs. All day we had this cloud over our heads. Didn’t help that it was still  pretty cold and rainy all day and we hadn’t seen much of the sun in the last week. So after anchoring for the night, we discussed the day.....would have, could have, should have can sometimes be helpful to avoid making the same mistakes. We had a long conversation about all the ups and downs that we’re experiencing. On a boat you can’t live the same way as on land with unlimited drinking water, electricity, heat, fuel, grocery store etc. The laundromat in itself is...
