In our last letter we said that we would write next about George Town next… but we aren’t. I don’t have enough pictures yet from “this sweet place” as Eileen Vincent-Barwood calls this part of Exuma in her book.

I Wanda

We have been cruising on our Nichloson 40 pilot house sloop "I Wanda" since the summer of 1993. In the early years we cruised from Maine to the Bahamas with our teenagers and now we visit them by boat. In 2003 we crossed the Atlantic via Bermuda and the Azores, and spent 3 years cruisng the Med. Kitties have nearly always accompanied us.... full info

Memories
It was great seeing and hearing about changes in Long Island. Remebered some of the boats and people you were talking about. Surprised about Mike and Dawn owning a place there. Remembered when they lived in Maine and were going home to stop cruising so there son could go to school. Now he is all grown up. Life is too short. Would love to see pictures of the people on your blog too Stay safe

We are so happy that you are having a lovely time. We miss those pristine waters for sure! All is well in the mountains. The thick ice, built up on so many roofs from the unusual weather, slid off of our roofs today... temps in the 40s. Another arctic cold blast with high winds expected today and tomorrow! We keep you in our hearts as you travel. Have fun and be safe out there. XOXO, CLODS

Makes me nostalgic for island exploration, not that we ever did much. Your log is entrancing, as are your many photos. Kudos.
