March 8-12 Nassau to Marsh Harbour

March 8 After Sarah, James and Finn left, I finished the laundry and then we washed all the enclosure and the sand from the cockpit. Mike bought fuel, we filled our water tanks and then we backed out of the slip for the last time on this trip, and headed for the anchorage. We set […]

February 26-March 8 Sarah, James and Finnegan’s visit

February 26 So the day we had been waiting for had arrived. We dinghied in and passed by this huge yacht on the dock named G3. We were waiting at the Starbucks patio but apparently their taxi let them off across the street at the marina. We looked up and saw them strolling over. Just […]

February 20-26 Nassau Harbour and Rose Island

February 20 After Becca and Rich left and we were safely anchored in the harbour, we turned our attention to the broken autopilot. Here is another photo of where the plate was broken. We posted the video on the last blog of Mike in the hole. He had his zippy tool in there, making room […]

February 13-20 Rebecca and Rich’s visit

February 13 We got anchored safely out in the harbour and did a bit of cleaning up. You wouldn’t have known that we just had 5 extra people on the boat for a week. It looked pretty good! We had heard from Becca in the morning. She and Rich travelled to Montreal the night before […]

February 6-13 Amber, Jason, Tayton, Easton and Elle’s visit

February 6 We were anxiously awaiting the kid’s arrival. We had been messaging with them as they left Ottawa early in the morning. They had a connecting flight in Toronto. It was freezing rain there so they sat on the plane and waited ages for de-icing. They were supposed to land around 14:00 but were […]

January 30 – February 6 Scot, Jody and Margie’s visit

I know this post has been a long time coming. We have had family on back to back visits since the 30th of January. I must admit when Rebecca and Rich left on Wednesday, the 20th, that night and the next morning was eerily quiet and empty. Having lots of people and suitcases around for […]

January 26-29 Waiting in Nassau

Yes, that’s right; waiting in Nassau because we arrived on the 25th and Scot, Jody and Margie arrive on the 30th . We had planned on leaving the anchorage outside the marina and heading over to Rose Island for a few days but on the 26th it poured rain most of the day and the […]

January 25 Royal Island to Nassau

We had the anchor up at 06:50. Cardea did too and we left Royal Island behind. The sunrise was beautiful out on the Northeast Providence channel. 🙂 It was a very warm morning. The temperature was 28C (82F) and very humid. The winds were SSW and blowing up to 22 kn. It was a bit […]

January 17-24 Still anchored in Royal Island

Well, we certainly were in Royal Island longer than we had hoped but thankful for the good, safe anchorage for all the storm fronts. First I need to mention that on Thursday, January 17th our grandson Tayton celebrated his 9th birthday. Where has the time gone? Next year he will be into the double digits! […]

January 15-16 Royal Island and Spanish Wells

January 15 – Royal Island Our sunrise on Royal Island this morning. We were up early so we could be ready to continue on to Nassau which is about 38 nm from here. While we were eating breakfast, we listened to Chris Parker. He is a weather router for cruisers. He said that the most […]
