day 5, Woke up to find that amelia had slept with a knife next to her bed for safety. She had also put a chair in front on our apartment door 'just incase anyone decides they wanto to kidnap us.' Nat had a fight with the recliner chair and broke it and also broke the tv. Went to the bank twice in the day because were big business women. On the way back, went to the liquor store for some rum. The man asked if we wanted to try rum, so we had 10 shots of rum each to test. Went out later with 3 bottles of rum and Loz fell off the kerb. Went to subway and then went back to meet one of the landlords, clinton. On greeting him, he told us that there ... read more

Day 7- Turned on the news to be warned that a tornado is heading our way. Nothing stopped us going to the beach that morning for a swim. Came off the beach later and spoke to a man who told us that there are hammerheads and tiger sharks in the sea and no nets are in place. The monsoon rain didnt stop all morning and we headed to Nassau International airport to meet Mart 'Stephenshon.' On arrivals a man was standing with a board with 'Micheal Douglas and celebrity friends' written on it. Micheal Douglas and Morgan Freeman were to arrive to host the celebrity golf tournament in paradise island. Later Mart arrived and introduced us to his many mates that he had met on the plane. Went to Marts hotel, the sandyport beach resort. The ... read more

So..First stop Manchester airport followed by Chicago, followed by Miami. Arrived into Nassau 11pm on 18th May greeted by Ruby who looked like she was still in the 70s. Ruby drove us to our apartment and wasnt long until nat and loz got their snore on. Woke up the next day and headed off to the supermarket. spent $230 on food, all healthy may i add. After our hectic shopping trip, we decided we needed some beach time. so after a two minute walk round the corner from our apartment we arrived at the beach and jumped straight into the sea. Not long after..a man on a jet ski who only can be described as a badboi hunk drives on his jet ski past us doing a ridiculously high speed. lozzas first comment 'i really hope ... read more

December 19th 2011

As of today, it looks like the answer may be Nassau! We are currently sitting out a big blow at Nassau Harbor Club in Nassau Bahamas. This year we stayed home in Guelph until the end of November. I had a really great job this summer with my past employer Centennial Optical and we were really enjoying our house and just being home. By the end of October, the cold weather was settling in and the lure of warm weather, beautiful Bahamian waters, and the peaceful boat life motivated us to head south - like the birds! After visiting our friends the Huibers in North Carolina, and the Verlaques in St.Marys Georgia, we arrived at Fort Pierce Florida, where About Time safely sat out the summer and hurricane season. We left the boat further south this ... read more

Lose your 17 layers of clothing, stop sloshing around and park the woolly mammoth booths.. Trade it all in for flip flops and your skimpy attire! Unhook from the regularity and free yourself from the mundane.... This morning, when we turned on the radio to collect our weather information, our routers provided a quick update on the freezing storms hitting the mid-west and travelling towards the north-eastern coast of the US and Canada. Today is one of those days where we reflect on our surroundings in appreciation for the privileged way that we live. For the past several days, we have been anchored in a beautiful little lagoon, surrounded by turquoise warm waters and fair skies. The warm ocean breezes top the 80’s during the day and are a pleasant 65-70 during our slumber hours. ... read more

The following day, our first port of call was Nassau, the Bahamas. I was still waking up at 4.00 in the morning, so actually saw sunrise and sailing into Nassau. I was expecting something exotic to be honest, even the name is exotic. However, it lacked the “Wow Factor” as its very poor one side of the river, and very rich the other side with some truly beautiful houses. The Town is small and quite dingy and everyone seems to live on subsistence. I'd booked a snorkelling tour off a catamaran in the morning which I thought would have been great underwater viewing – even that was disappointing as the sea bed was a dirty brown, hardly any corral worth mentioning, although there were some beautiful fish. Unfortunately, due to the weather still not being really ... read more

Junk Junk Junkanoo, Junk Junk Junkanoo.... This is the rhythm that bellows threw the streets of downtown Nassau as thousands of people gather to view an incredible array of floats, costumes and dancers surrounded by musicians blowing their trumpets and horns, clanging their bells and pounding their drums to the beat of joyful songs. You can’t help but join into the beat and sway side to side as if you were part of it all...because you ARE part of it all!!! This year, we were privileged to be in Nassau during this annual festival. Similar to Mardi Gras in the southern US and Brazil’s festival in Rio de Janeiro, this is the mark of the Bahamas and what a colourful one it is indeed. We were mesmerised by the beauty of their costumes and hypnotised by ... read more

C’est la période des fêtes et nous sommes quelque peu nostalgiques … Les Fêtes sans nos familles ce n’est pas pareil. À quelques jours de Noël seulement, nous ne sentons pas l’ambiance des fêtes autour de nous … Un petit épisode de déprime … mais le soleil et la chaleur des Bahamas devraient suffirent à nous remonter le moral ! Lundi le 13 décembre : Il fait très froid aujourd’hui à Bimini. Les locaux ont sorti foulards, tuques, gants et manteaux d’hiver (pour ceux qui en ont). Le vent force toujours à 30 35 nœuds. C’est une bonne chose que nous soyons à l’abri dans la marina (située du côté est de l’île). Nous nous sommes rendus sur la plage (côté ouest de l’île) et les vagues sont gigantesques. Le vent soulève le sable sur la ... read more
