On to Georgetown
From Bitter Guana our goal was to find some weather that would allow us to sail on to Georgetown. We lifted the anchor and left the iguanas to themselves. Both boats, ours and Taua needed fuel and we needed water as well so we stopped at Safe Harbor Marine in Cave Cay. Safe Harbor Marine…

Thunderball Cave
No photos with this one I’m so sorry to say but I just have to share the experiance anyway. We spent the morning at Thunderball Cave. It’s of the fame of the James Bond movie with the same name and was well worth the time and energy to see. Thunderball cave, when approached, is less…

Bitter Guana Cay
Today we stopped at the most stunning island. The cliffs of sand stone seem to tower above the crystal blue water, at least by Bahamian standards. This is a change from the average scenery not because of the water but rather the height of the land. Here the land is low and what trees there…

Boo Boo Hill and More Friends Means its Time to Leave
We were thrilled to see our friends from Amazing Grace 2 come cruising into the anchorage today. We’ve been emailing and calling each other on the SSB radio over the last few months and they just got to a place where we were finally all close enough to meet up. We met Amazing Grace 2…

Re-Inventing the Wheel
In the Bahamas you should be prepared to do it yourself or go without. We have it good because regularly at home we try to solve our problems without buying something new or taking it for repairs. Boyd, in particular, hates to pay someone else for something he can do himself. He finds that many…

Eleuthera
Well technically we were in Eleuthera yesterday, when we anchored in Royal Island Harbor and all day today we were “off of” Eleuthera but finally we have landed in Rock Harbor Cay Eleuthera where we can actually visit a town. My impression of Eleuthera so far is just that there’s not much to it. It’s…

Track Data 3/15/2010
Above is some of the track data collected during our cruise in the Bahamas. This is a bit of an experiment to test the ability to display native .gpx files on the site. These .gpx files were created using the website GPS Visualizer , since the Furuno NavNet3D is unable to export in an easily interchangable format.
