We met Fletch, Barbara, Sailor, and Jib at West End, Bahamas. Fletch and Barbara are retired and living on the west coast of Florida. Sailor is a wonderful old female yellow lab and Jib is a bossy male poodle. We liked them all immediately. Together, they make up the crew of Com’on Along and they’re […]
Running from White Sound to Black Sound at Green Turtle Cay, Abacos Bahamas
This small yacht worked it’s way through the anchorage on it’s way to the dock this evening just before dark. The Lady J, 163 feet of pure decadence!
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 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 […]
