It’s the beginning of the end of our trip. Bummer. It’s been a quick five months, that’s for sure. Good news is that we’ve finally made it out of George Town, after 18 (!!) days of being at the marina. Thank God for that. I think we were both ready to just start...
Our friend Jeremy paid us a visit last week. We’d been getting pretty stir crazy being stuck at the marina for so long and were really, REALLY excited to see him. Like, literally counting down the days and hours. Unfortunately for all of us, a massive snowstorm...
Hello there. Yes, we’re still alive. I know… I’ve been such a slacker in posting lately. I’d blame it on the hit-or-miss Internet connection down here in the Bahamas, but I’d be a liar. Truth is, we’ve been having such a great time just soaking up the surf and sun the...
We had our first visitors from home aboard Foxfire last week, when Tim, Mischelle, Luke and Noah flew down to George Town to share the dream with us, if only for a week. I can’t even describe how good it felt to see friends from home, especially Tim & Mischelle,...
Continued down to George Town after leaving Farmers Cay the next morning. Tried to sail with no luck. Tried to fish with no luck. Did manage to learn a new card game that was pretty cool. Other than that, it was just a loooong day of motoring the final 40 miles or so...
We wanted to spent a few more days in Staniel Cay after the anchor incident, but decided to move back around to our original anchorage just off piggy beach the next morning to avoid any additional mishaps. We were thankful that we got out unscathed and didn’t want to...
We met some fellow cruisers on the boat anchored next to us who were nice enough to invite us over to their boat for some sunset cocktails. Up to this point, Matt and I have been feeling a bit isolated, as most cruisers seem to have already formed their “groups” and...
After our stay at Norman’s, we continued south to Staniel Cay. On our way we passed this HUGE mega yacht, complete with the helicopter on the back. It was definitely the biggest yacht that we’ve ever seen. EVER. All we could do was stare at it with our mouths hanging...
Week 2 of cruising the Bahamas, and we find ourselves in the Caribbean dream that is Norman’s Cay. It is absolutely beautiful here… not a bad place to hole up for a few days to wait out a strong Northerly wind that’s supposed to come thru towards the end of the week....
Stopped in Nassau for a few days to wait out weather, reprovision and to use as a hopping off point for the Exumas, a mere 30 miles to the southeast. I’ll admit, we had a preconceived idea of what we’d find in Nassau, partly fueled by our cruising guidebooks and their...
