We had a great day exploring the 100-mile island of Eleuthera today. Driving on the “country” roads at times looked like it could be anywhere – Tennessee, Forida, Missouri. But then the sound would come into view in all its…
Enjoy the ride
After almost having a meltdown (well actually I think I did) this morning when Lawson spilled diesel oil in our cabin while fixing the engine, this afternoon I sighed in delight as we walked one of the prettiest beaches I’ve…
The shakedown continues
We left half moon bay early this morning to make a run for the Davis Harbour Marina on Eleuthera. The anchorage was very roll-y and I don’t think any of us got much sleep. I know I didn’t. So we…

Marina gold
We’ve finally struck marina gold. It’s the marina at Emerald Cove I believe – about 40 minutes from George Town that serves the Sandals resort here in Great Exuma island. Our first two nights we stayed on the main docks…
