Exuma Travel Blogs

Background: Arawak Indians inhabited the islands when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas have prospered through tourism and international banking and investment management. Because of its geography, the country is a major transshipment point for illegal drugs, particularly shipments to the US, and its territory is used for smuggling illegal migrants into the US.

After New Years, we said goodbye to our kids, as they headed back home to work and the cold weather. We will miss them, but for sure won’t miss the weather. So far this winter the weather has been very very nice down here. Steven, Dawn, Paul and Ella, all seemed to enjoy things here in “Club Georgetown” and Miss Ella, got right into the beach life. We spent a few days, cleaning and putting our boat stuff back where it usually is. Six people and baby luggage on our boat makes it a little tight so we had moved things [View Full Entry]

Nous avons retrouvés nos amis de Island Girl et Gusto del mar à Georgestown. Nous en avons profité pour se ravitailler à l'épicerie et faire le plein du propane. voici une petite visite de cette ville. (voir les photos) Les gens de voiles apprécient cet endroit, certains y demeurent des mois, pendant tout l'hiver. Nous sommes partis par la suite vers long Island, plus au sud. [View Full Entry]

Enfin ! Nous revoilà dans les Bahamas pour 1 mois! À l’approche de Nassau, on s’est empressés à contempler le bleu de la mer à travers l’hublot de l’avion. Wow ! Que c’est beau les Bahamas! Une fois atterri à Nassau, nous avons attendu à l’aéroport Danielle et Jacques de Coral Beauty qui arrivait une heure plus tard que nous. Une fois descendu de leur avion on s’empresse à sauter dans un taxi pour aller à bord de leur bateau qui est amarré à quai. On fait quelques courses à l’épicerie et hop on part le plus tôt possible vers notre [View Full Entry]

Christmas is over, and as I’m writing this, it’s New Years Eve. We’re anchored in Elizabeth Harbour just off of Stocking Island, and have been enjoying the holiday season here, with our family. Steven arrived on December 20, Dawn Paul and Ella on December 22. It has been a wonderful holiday, (even if the boat is a little crowded), and we know we are just about the luckiest people in the world! In our last blog we were half way down the Exumas, in the Bahamas Land and Sea Park. We got stuck there a little longer than we had hoped, [View Full Entry]

The Bahamas - On To the Exumas We arrived in Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island, on the afternoon of Friday November 28th after a 25 hour sail from Vero Beach, Fl. The trip was mostly uneventful with light winds and calms. Not a bad way to make a Gulf Stream crossing. We checked into the Grand Bahama Yacht Club, a fancy marina in Lucaya. From there it is easy to clear Bahama Customs and Immigration. Next, we decided to spend a couple days there waiting out a predicted strong storm system which was to pass during the next two days. On Monday [View Full Entry]

In our last blog, we posted a picture of me finding a mooring ball in Soldier Cay Bahamas. There is a Soldier Cay in the Berry Islands, and another in Exuma Land and Sea Park. Our picture from Soldier Cay was from Soldier Cay in the Berry Islands. We are currently still in Wardwick Wells, and have not been as far south as Soldier Cay in the Park. Anyone wishing to see the route we have taken may contact us and we will share our Winlink position reports. The Exuma Cay Land and Sea Park is one of the most beautiful [View Full Entry]

Déjà plus d’une semaine que les vents soufflent entre 20 et 25 nœuds (37 et 46 km/h) dans les Exumas. Ce qui nous obligent à demeurer au même mouillage, prenant notre mal en patience…… Nous allons attendre à mardi notre fenêtre météo pour traverser l’ Exuma Sound vers Eleuthera. Une traversée de 6 heures que nous ferons en solitaire. La plupart de nos amis Québécois ont déjà fait leur entrée au État-Unis. Comme toute bonne chose à une fin, nous aussi nous sommes déjà sur notre chemin du retour. Nous allons visiter l’île de Eleuthera pour 1 semaine e [View Full Entry]

Blog écrit par Chantal et Patrick Après 2 jours de retard, nous sommes finalement arrivés à Staniel, pas facile d’arriver sur une petite île des Exumas…..Bref, complications très vite oubliés avec cet accueil des plus chaleureux de nos amis MC et Seb. Tout était prêt pour nous recevoir, nous avions même la cabine avant pour dormir, chacun notre petite armoire pour nos vêtements, un coin dans la salle de bain pour nos produits et dès notre arrivée un premier souper aux langoustes, crabes et poissons. Quel Festin ! C’est une croisière de classe sur le born Free III. [View Full Entry]
