OK, wow where do I start, I haven’t been to confession in….  uh/…  I guess I mean to say: its been a long time since I blogged and I’m not sure where to begin.  I think I’ll start with what ever comes out first… hey its my blog.. SYL is back in civilization…. Jono and I […]

The boat is ready for the next passenger.  When everyone left 2 days ago lots of luggage left with them.  The boat looks pretty good this evening.  I filled the tanks with gas today and made a grocery run, were stocked and ready for a week with my good sailing buddy Tom from back home. […]

I got up early to listen to weather, all good news, it’s supposed to be drier after today becoming settled and nice next week.  I just got a quick but fairly powerful shower come over the boat, glad I was well protected and on anchor rather than out at sea for that one.  The skies […]

Our first guests for the year just left and took my wife with them!  We had a really nice time with our friends here on SYL.  Linda went home to be with Erin in her last trimester of pregnancy so I’m batching it for a couple days before a friend of mine flys in for […]

Linda and I seem to always make our major life decisions while bobbing in the water…… the past few days have been no exception.  Our current ritual has been to do what we need to do during the day.. than about 4PM we swim under the boat and solve the worlds problems (or a least […]

The weather looks amazing next week, as the summer progresses high pressure areas dominate and winds are light and sweet.  Certainly as our guests arrive our outside passage from GT to the rest of the Exumas will be pleasant.  It’s only 15 to 20 miles of ocean exposure before we get in the main body […]

Every day we get a little more done towards receiving guests.  We could get it all done in a day or two….. But why… we have all the time we need.  Lately my main chore is to get our charging system and AC working acceptably.  I’ve found multiple electrical connections that needed cleaning or replacing. […]

We slipped easily into GT  the day before yesterday as predicted, it was the driest and best day to make the short outside passage.  We have not seen the rain as we expected last night and today.  Clouds are broken and it’s a decent day. I have had a some issues with weak batteries here […]

Who is the one that made it rain…… In the Bahamas!   We have seen several days of rain, with more expected this week.  Hopefully it will all be over before our guests show up.  Generally it’s not a show stopper, but the water is so much prettier with full sun. SYL currently sits at […]

Today is wash day, we filled up 7 of the 12 washing machines at the “Dockside Laundry”.  Ada is the hard working proprietor, she has basic hardware, washing supplies of course and a very select group of items every sailboat needs. We now sit at a restaurant on Black Point waiting for our clothes to […]
