We are currently at a dock in Port Lucaya, Bahamas after crossing the Gulf Stream from West Palm Beach Florida, Thursday night November 29th. It was a very easy crossing, with little wind and very flat seas. In our last blog, we had just arrived in Vero Beach Florida, and were going to stay there “a couple of days”. Well, a couple of days turned into 10 days, staying in Vero for American Thanksgiving there, before heading for West Palm Beach. Vero Beach is a popular spot for boaters to stop on their way south, as it offers a nice safe mooring ball anchorage, with great facilities , excellent shopping, free transportation and a close nice beach. It’s so popular, they put 2, and sometimes 3 boats on each mooring ball. We met lots of other ... read more

The Blue Shark - Its not open yet - but had a chance to play this week in a preview outing. In combination with Paradise Island’s Ocean Club, it makes Nassau a real golf destination. If you hire a cab, say you are going to South Ocean Resort, near Stuart's Cove marina. Its a new - or redeveloped course by Greg Norman, so, it has that new course look....but its a gorgeous course and definitely ready to play. The clubhouse was not done, but it looked impressive from the outside. A forecaddie accompanied us throughout the round ..... made it easy to find balls in some of the tougher rough areas. Carts were brand new - looks as if there will be a GPS system on them in the near future. A couple holes are right ... read more

G'day All, we hope things are well back home. It's been a long while since our last entry, but we will have quite a few in the not too distant future as we have a fair bit of travel planned in the next six weeks, but I'll get to that a little later on. Our latest adventure was a pretty awesome one actually. As some of you know there are a number of guys that Fiona and I did our military training with posted to various locations around the US, and we decided it was time to have a get together as some of them are heading home at the end of the year. There was much to organise for this trip, but most importantly was the name we were going to give it. After weeks ... read more

We touched down at Nassau's tiny international airport at noon today. It's Sammy's first trip to these beautiful islands, and my second (although the first trip was consumed mostly with work, and the two days I spent there were hardly enough to find my way around even downtown Nassau). Fighting my urge to create a daily, minute-by-minute itinerary, I have agreed to Sam's request that we just "relax and wing it" for the duration of the stay. Because we arrived too early to check in, we spent a few hours touring Atlantis' resort grounds and made our way to a bar at the water's edge that we realized was the location for scenes in After the Sunset and Die Another Day . The beaches are inpeccable and the water is this most beautiful shade or turquoise ... read more
