New pics: http://brookeroebuck.shutterfly.com/ Hi, Everyone!! I hope this email finds everyone well. So, I'm currently still in the Bahamas finishing up my last semester of the "general sciences." I'm currently in the second half of my second year. This semester has been the best semester of all - we're doing physical exams and going into the hospital more and more. This is my last semester here in the Bahamas, and then it should be off to Miami in September. I cannot WAIT to move back to the states. The Bahamas have been nice, but I'm ready to leave this island life. Included you'll see a link with some new pics. Some of these pics are from the Bahamas, some from my and Tom's trip home over break, and then another album from our Dolphin Dive yesterday. ... read more

Mel and Jess are here cruising with me and today we had a fantastic beach day! Today’s port of call was Half Moon Cay, a private island owned by one of our sister lines. Though we come here every two weeks, I’ve only gotten off on the island once! It’s a tender port and of course, guests come first, so us crew members have to go back 3 hours before sail time. When I don’t finish work until at least 1am the night before, it’s difficult to drag myself out of bed early enough to make the day worth going out and coming back by 1pm - and then still have the energy to work the rest of the day and night. But rules like that get loosened when you have family cruising - thankfully! - ... read more

I just finished racing the Family Island Regatta in Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas. All the boats were built in the Bahamas. The local cruising community helped a local Bahamian named Pat get his boat "Two Friends" ready for the regatta. "Two Friends" received a new mast, a new Awlgrip paint job and some repairs. One C-Class boat I raced on sank, to the bottom, just after we crossed the finish line - It was great fun. The Bahamas Police marching band closed the regatta.... read more
