We spent 90 days in 2015-2016 in the Caribbean, with friends and family visiting and lots of island hopping.
When we planned on coming to the Bahamas this season, we know that the Jumento Cays would be our favorite. The Bahamas, especially Georgetown is busy and crowded with cruisers, but the Jumentos are off the beaten path, more untouched and remote than possibly anywhere else in the Bahamas. But, fate being what it is,…
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…
We were so glad to escape the rapidly dropping temperatures of the Chesapeake Bay and head south. Finally, finally, on December 19th we dropped anchor in Georgetown, one of the busiest sailing ports in the Bahamas. I was very excited to get to Georgetown – it’s family tradition! My dad sailed there in 2008, my…
As we sailed from Recife, Brazil to the Caribbean, the world started to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’d made the decision to aim for Antigua, which ended up being absolutely perfect. We arrived in St John’s, the only port of entry open, on March 26th and cleared into the country, aware that…
It’s hard to believe our time in the Caribbean is over, but it is! We arrived in the BVIs on November 10th, 2015, and we left Grenada on February 17th. That’s 99 days cruising the Caribbean! How Much Time is Right? And before you say it – yes, we know our trip through the Caribbean was far…
We’ve been really putting the pedal to the metal in Grenada. Our visit to the main island of Grenada has only been two stops: Grenada Marine and St. George’s, and we know we are missing out on plenty of interesting things to do in Grenada. Knowing that we have major miles to go in the…
We’re approaching the end of three months of sailing the Caribbean. Grenada is our last stop before taking off to the Panama Canal and the Pacific. We sailed overnight from Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia. Grenada is an opportunity to haul out one last time at Grenada Marine, but before we get there, we get to enjoy…
