April 4, 2016 The forecast at Black Point is for light winds while the front moves through and then the winds will pick up out of the north. We head into town to rent a cart around 10:30. We stop at the laundromat to rent a cart but there is no one there. We are told that Ida left about 25 minutes ago and should be back shortly. We wait for a while and then I go down to the grocery store to see if they could rent us a golf cart. After a lot of waiting the...

We then transited that opening and continued along into another network of caves. We then turned back and went into the lower cave back on the other side. We went in v...

March 16, 2016 We get up early and head for Georgetown. As soon as we hit deeper water we put out our fishing lines in hopes of catching another fish. We motor-sail across the Exuma Sound doing better than seven knots. The seas are relatively flat. The rollers are about three to four feet but are at about an eight second interval which makes it a gentle roll. We get only one hit on our fishing lines but no fish. We enter the Georgetown Harbor at about 1...
