I got this recipe from another cruiser our first year of cruising and I have used it ever since.  The recipe was given was for two loafs but this recipe is for one loaf. Amish Bread 1 c warm water, 110 degrees 1/3 c sugar 1 pkg dry yeast or equivalent 3/4 t salt 1/8 […]

We have been anchored at Monument Beach since we arrive in Georgetown.  We have also been reclusive since we arrive just regrouping.  Yesterday we decided to join the world again and moved SYL to the local cruiser hangout, Chat n Chill.  We beached SYL and I immediately went to my favorite place, under the boat. […]

Last  night while Rusty and I were reading in our comfortable bed, Rusty turns to me and says, “When are you going to bake me some bread”.  I said, “Tomorrow”!  I frequently bake bread when we are on the boat but I rarely do it any other time………..that is probably a good thing!  We just […]

Linda here:  I LOVE organization, tidiness and above all clean.  I am pretty good at the clean part but I am lousy at the other two.  Ok, you are probably thinking….Let’s see she has finally arrived in paradise reaching the destination we are likely to be at for at least 10 days to two weeks […]

I never left from Blackpoint with the intention of making it all the way (51 miles) to Georgetown.  But I had an itch to to get closer since the last 15 miles must be off shore.  If it was to be a challenging finish I didn’t want to have to weave through all the shallows […]

I’m working on my boat in the prettiest place……. Yes, I take time to get in the water here at Black Point “Castle” but today was a workday.  Since the boat was standing on its keels in shallow water it was the perfect opportunity to change the shifter cable that was about to fail.  The […]

The norm for us is kind of like Texas weather; if you don’t like what we are doing or planning on doing then just wait  a few minutes and it will most likely change.  This charteristic of Rusty and I drives Erin crazy.  Thing is I totally understand her frustration because I use to be […]

We had a little weather but it didn’t amount to much safely tucked into the marina.  Today is Wednesday and we have decided to take the public bus to the Straw Market.  We knew that there were several buses that would get us there but we delibertly chose the bus that would go through the […]

  Tuesday: 7AM – Waiting on a cold front to come thru to leave for the Exumas. We didn’t get the blow we expected last night so I’m hoping for a more comfortable frontal passage than what was forecast. We listened to Chris Parker this morning, he confirmed what we thought, a Thursday departure would […]

Monday Morning: Today we had the motors on all day. Normally it was both engines to move the boat at a steady 5.8 knots. I didn’t push hard, arrival time didn’t require it. Except for about 2 hours before we reached Nassau there was little to no wind and 2′ seas in our face. When […]
