We Made It Across!

While we didn’t make it to the Bahamas before Christmas, at least we were able to cross before New Years.

Our short crossing weather window & our desire to make it to Great Harbour Cay in the Berrys (130 miles) required an overnight offshore. While we could have gone fast & made it in daylight, we are conserving our diesel so we won’t have to fuel up until back in Florida. Fortunately, a full moon showed us the way.

Even the sunrise seemed excited we made it!

We avoid Nassau at all costs & this is why – How many times do we need to get chased by pirates?!

A rare, dead-calm day anchored in our (so far) semi-private corner of Elizabeth Harbour in George Town, Exuma.

Lori multitasking – jewelry making with a view while supervising the sheets drying. At least our “laundry in a bucket” days are over – our (mini) washer/dryer combo does a better job washing, but line drying is best.

This is why we come!

We’ll be in the George Town area for a month or so, before slowly heading slowly north thru the rest of the Exumas, Eleuthera & the Abacos.
