We spent 2 nights at Munjack Cay and then moved to Green Turtle yesterday morning (5 miles). Green Turtle has two fantastic anchorages – Black Sound and White Sound. We chose White Sound, because, well you, know — Black Sound reminds me of Black Sheep and I certainly am NOT the black sheep in my […]
When we were in West End, we met a nice couple from Florida, Fletch and Barbara aboard “Com’on Along.” We felt a special bond with them because they were cruising with pets. Sailor – 100 pounds of sweetness in the form of a yellow lab, and Jib, the Drill Sargent – a 10 pound poodle. Great Sale […]
I’m thinking about writing a book based upon what we’ve learned on this trip, entitled, “19 Days to Paradise,” in which a man and a woman discover that it’s not about the destination, rather, it’s about the journey…. Wow, what a long way to go for a 7-10 day vacation!! We’ve arrived!
I know there are people out there that go cruising with nothing more than a cursory understanding of how their boat works, but Lord help me, I don’t know how they can possibly get any where. We’ve been out cruising for 19 days now and I’ve had to make numerous repairs along the way: multiple […]
We made Great Sale Key yesterday at 4:30 PM. Another 42 miles over our stern. We have another hard day of beating up the Bahama bank today and then we’ll finally be in the Bite of Abaco, where we can slow down and enjoy what’s left of our vacation. Neither Michelle nor I really understood […]

Today we decided to take a day off from traveling and enjoy the amenities of Old Bahama Marina. This really is a nice place and if you don’t have a boat, but are looking for a quaint, out of the way resort, I’d highly recommend Old Bay. They have a couple of restaurants and what […]
We left Bimini at sunrise this morning with hopes of a beautiful broad reach sail north to West End, but the wind Gods had a different plan for Double Wide! We ended up motor sailing in to a northeast wind all day, but made it to West End at 4:30. The wind is predicted to […]
We had very little trouble checking in to the Bahamas today. The Customs and Immigration people here in Alice Town could not have been nicer to us. Since this is our first time checking in to a foreign port aboard Double Wide, I had no idea what to expect. Having read horror stories from other […]
We arrived at Bimini, Bahamas this afternoon at 6:30 PM. The crossing from Key Largo was simple enough. It would have been nice to have the wind off our nose, but then that wouldn’t be cruising, ‘Haley Style!’ We’re anchored off of Bimini Bay Resort and they’re providing complimentary wifi for the evening – Thanks […]
