Hi Everyone, We did make away from Kingston on the 16th as planned, we did not cross that night. We instead crossed in the morning. Those of you who have received my email already know it was not the most pleasant crossing ever, not the worst either. As it turned out we choose the correct day. The next day would have been truly horrible and perhaps dangerous to enter Oswego. Two coast guard vessels were outside the entrance to render assistance, and to turn fishermen back into the harbour. Today all the sails are off, the booms are down and the cabin top is being re-arranged to accept all of the booms etc.. Some kind gentlemen returning have given us a couple of charts we were missing. The marina will unstep the masts on Monday. I ... read more

Who knew that such a wonderful treasure was hidden right here on earth! I had never heard of Abaco prior to coming to the Bahamas and I am pleasantly surprised and awestruck at the natural beauty of this island. The Abaconian Rotarians showed us a wonderful time in Marsh Harbour and took us on mini adventures to Treasure Cay (pronounced "Key"), Green Turtle Cay and Elbow Cay/Hope Town. The photos speak for themselves so I've attached several so that you can see what we have been blessed to experience firsthand. ... read more
