Marine Traffic Jam

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…

From Eleuthera to the Exumas

Our next port of call after the booming metropolis of Rock Sound Harbor Eleuthera was to be the Exumas Land and Sea Park at Wardwick Wells. This is not so much a town as a preserve. The snorkeling is said to be wonderful and we were looking forward getting a chance to get in the…

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.
