We have shamelessly ignored our blog…..  To catch up on our travels, lets start with some logistics in reverse chronology and go from there.  SYL is sitting calmly on Rum Cay this morning.  We exited Crooked islands for the second time yesterday and made a decent 60 mile crossing.  The unsettled weather of late has […]

We have not had internet for several days.  I am currently sitting in our dear friends house, Jim and Lynne, in the Crooked Islands.  We have had a great few days.  We decided rather suddenly to leave GT and head for the Crooked Islands.  The passage to the Crookeds is rarely fun.  You notice I […]

I just got back from watching the big “A” Class race from the dinghy.. great fun.  “Tida’ Wave” from Staniel Cay is quite the favorite…. I didn’t see the end, but she started third and by the first turn she was in the lead.  The first leg is upwind and she outpointed all the other […]

      This is a “B” class, the smaller boats do not have a front sail.     This boat “SV COOL CAT” came in and dropped the hook next to us. I went over and talked to the owner. This thing is all carbon fiber, boat, mast and all.. it’s 47′ long with […]

What did we all do before internet and Facebook?  We did not have internet for almost three days.  I must confess that we could access the net on my iPad but on it I can mainly read because I find it hard to negotiate around on the iPad.  Rusty went into town on the Monday […]

Easter Sunday began rainy as a front came through GT.  The wind clocked as always from the SE clockwise all the way back to SE. At this writing (4pm).  we got a lot of rain (for the bahamas)  Afterwards winds laid to about 8 knots. SYL moved again….. We left Goat Cay and slow sailed […]

Today started out much like yesterday.  When I woke up I looked out the bedroom window to see if the wind had changed…  had the boat held it’s position, had we moved and if so my first effort is to see why.  Normally we are exactly where I expect.  This morning was no exception….  we […]

Winds were a little too high to play with the RC sailboat yesterday.  We did go bobbing with “Cats Meow” yesterday… the water is a little cool but it was nice.  It was not effortless because the tide was going out quickly.. we had to reposition the boat several times, and the Chat-n-Chill beach is […]

We just got back from “town”  I took the big boat across the harbor, anchored out and dropped the dinghy.  I made 3 stops, the first to get rid of trash, second to drop off some dirty laundry, then to Minn’s water sports to buy 10 gallons of gas.  All 3 duties were accomplished pretty […]
