March 7-March 16 Travis arrived on Friday, March 7 along with a front. Mark and I were going to pick him up in our dinghy together, but with the front we decided Mark would get him by himself. Then we changed our minds again and decided on the water taxi because the water was just too rough. We left our boat at 4:30 pm on the water taxi. We picked up some ladies from another boat that were headed to Nassau on the return flight of Travis' plane. The water ta...

February 15, 2014 Our plans changed yesterday.

We left Emerald Bay Marina this mor...

February 1, 2014 Today at Blackpoint Bev and I went to the beach to show Kathy from Tarsie, Sandy from Hot Chocolate, Linda from Last Flight Out, and Elaine from Silver Lining how we got sea glass in the water.

Later we met Matt and Marty on Runaway. Marty had picked up on s...

The crossing from the anchorage to Georgetown was so bad that everyone got soaked on the return trip. January 25, 2014 Today wasn't terribly exciting. Th...

December 31, 2013 through January 5, 2014 we were in Black Point Settlement with Scandia and Silver Lining. Last Flight Out moved on to Georgetown in order to get their company there for their flight out. Black Point is a very small community on Great Iguana Island in the Exumas. It is the longest island in the Exuma chain. We spent New Year's Eve at the local restaurant Lorraine's where she had a buffet dinner and some boaters entertained us with music afte...
