This morning we are moving stuff around (reorganizing) the boat, again.  Putting all my tools in the starboard stern was not a good idea for boat balance.  We moved some of the heavier tool boxes and spare nuts and bolts back where they were.  I feel sure the water incursion problem (leaking around the rudder […]

Got up early to listen to the weather this morning…… Looks calm & clear for the next couple days.  Yesterday we parked on a new beach, it’s next to pig beach at Fowl Cay.  Cruisers have donated (left) chairs, benches even a BBQ pit on this little beach and named it “Pirate Beach”.  There is […]

Today we had burgers at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club with fellow cruisers and showed the new folks Thunderball Grotto.  Thunderball is one of those do not miss attractions if you ever get to the Bahamas….. check out Thunderball. I put my rc sailboat together again today….. All the mega yachts had their toys out […]

We have been traveling / hanging out with our good friends on Cat’s Meow.  Lately we have been hovering between Staniel and Little Farmers swapping stories, looking for sea glass and catching up.  Today we are at “Big Major’s Spot” with about 20 other boats……. We normally don’t see that many boats here.  Most of […]

Today was both a work day and a fun day.   A couple days ago at Cat Island we noticed the bedroom floor was wet in the port hull……  Upon removing the viewing port in the floorboard, we found water, lots of it.  I pumped it out and for then next couple days it stayed […]

What a wonderful Sunday…  We  sailed up the Southern coast of Cat Island, then decided to go to Staniel Cay the next day so we backtracked a bit.  I wasn’t aware.. But this is Memorial Day weekend….. The big event on Cat Island this weekend is a sport fishing tournament.  Maybe that’s why prices at […]

I have to say the evening meal was better than expected.  Fresh mahi only 3 hours from the ocean, 1 1/2 hours of that marinating in Linda’s special sauce.  We also had fried rice with sweet peppers and onions, Linda reduced the marinate to a glaze we put over the rice and fresh fish…….  Yeah…. […]

Our refrigerated meat coffers are filled for a while anyway.  We have been eating fresh tuna since we caught so many in Rum Cay, then today I caught a nice Mahi Mahi on our way to Cat Island.  Actually I intentionally strayed off course to go over a rise in the ocean bottom where it […]

We met a guy named Victor that came into the Rum Cay harbor yesterday.  He’s been coming here for years, originally from South Africa.  He told us about so many things on Rum we didn’t know about so we stayed another day.  I suspect it will take at least 3 more days to see everything […]

Tonight we are in bug /mosquito paradise….  Still in the harbor at Rum, tonight just before dark the wind stopped…… Luckily I bought a 5 gallon can of gas today for the generator ($8.00/gallon) but that just means we will spend $8 bucks tonight being bug free and dry.  That’s cheap, but the problem is […]
