After spending the first six weeks of our season in Georgetown (plus a short trip to Conception Island), we knew we had to get going if we wanted to see more of the southern islands. With our friends Kevin and Linda from Counting Stars, we left Georgetown bound for Long Island. Sailing from Georgetown to…
After the holidays we made a short trip from Georgetown, Exumas, over to Conception Island, a Bahamian national park and remote island. Conception is the pinnacle of remote Bahamas cruising – it’s stunningly beautiful, fairly empty of boats, and devoid of services. Fifteen miles north east of the northern most tip of Long Island, Conception…

After nearly a year on the hard at Cape Charles, we were ready to get back to the boating life! While we changed our plans many times, we were excited to get out sailing on the Chesapeake Bay and explore all the nooks and crannies we’d been hearing so much about. When we returned to…
Now that we’re back in Texas and living on land, we’ve been visiting friends (with social distance) and seeing our doctors. I’ve actually had two comments: Friend: Ya’ll don’t LOOK like you’ve spent six years out in the sun. My PCP: Your skin looks great. What sunscreen do you use? Tons of sunshine out on…
