Samedi le 22 décembre Nassau vers Allan Cay 4h30 am….. Seb , nous avons chassé! Nous sommes maintenant rendus en plein milieu du port de Nassau… Par chance, nous n’avons pas frappé aucun voilier derrière nous. Ça prit 1 heure à remonter l’ancre parce qu’elle était prise dans un câble d’acier probablement. On a tu hâtes de quitter Nassau !!!!! 8h30… Heure du départ. Les conditions climatiques sont parfaites pour passer le Yellow Bank, vent léger, mais très ensoleillé. Le Yellow Bank est la partie la moins profonde du banc des Bahamas et il faut surtout faire très attention aux coraux qui émergent de l’eau. Comme l’aide à la navigation est nulle, on doit naviguer à l’œil. MC est à la proue et avise Seb des têtes de coraux qu’elle voit. Nous devons être idéalement vers ... read more

I have a new job and it is taking me to the Bahamas for the winter. It is going to be tough running a boat in the bahamas all winter but someone has to do it. The first order of business i getting the boat to the islands. On tuesday we left Carolina Beach before sun up and headed out to sea. We made it to Charleston SC by lunch time, we had alligator tail and cheeseburgers from Salty Mikes. We fueled up and headed out and made it to Hilton Head that evening. We had a great dinner at the Crab Shack and we crashed out before nine! We woke up and got underway before sunrise and made it to St. Agustine for lunch and we fueled up and headed out for Cape Canaveral, Fl. ... read more

December 17th, we arrived in Georgetown, and are looking forward to enjoying Christmas here. Our son Steve, and Sharon’s sister Patty will join us in Georgetown, and we are very excited to see them! After arriving in the Bahamas November 30th, we cleared in at Port Lucaya, and stayed there for a couple of days. Port Lucaya was very nice but we were anxious to get further south. We headed for the Berry Islands, and anchored for a couple of days at Great Harbour in Stirrup Cay. Stirrup Cay is where cruise ships take passengers for “a beach day on a deserted Island” . It’s a little unrealistic as they have all these buildings, beach chairs, loungers , snorkel hut, bars etc. It is very nice though but pretty crowded when you put a whole ship ... read more

With the end of the year approaching, and two days of vacation time left, I knew I had to head to warmer weather! We were lucky enough to find a cruise that fit into a weekend, so December 7th, we departed Port Canaveral for a 3 Day, $230 cruise to the Bahamas on Royal Caribbean’s Sovereign of the Seas. Our itinerary was fantastic, leaving us with full days and little time actually on the boat: Friday - Depart Port Canaveral (5PM) Saturday - Nassau, Bahamas (11AM-Midnightish) Sunday - Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas (9AM - 4PM) Monday - Arrive back to Port Canaveral (7AM) Our trip began with us driving down from Atlanta. It’s roughly a 7 ½ hour drive, of course, it always feels longer than that with the anticipation of ... read more
