More and more we all seem settled in. It is normal now to pick up my phone maybe once a day to check in with family and friends. Social media is not important to me at all. I can literally stare at the blue water all day and can be fully amused. Captain has lightenedContinue reading “Settled in – by Cindy”

10 Rounds in the “Story Quiver”.
Don’t you just hate it when someone writes… “Sorry I have not shared much lately but here’s 100 pages summarizing my world since I last caught up with you.” And while I’m on the dislike rant (channeling my inner Colby), I’ve always felt social media has robbed us of some of the best things aboutContinue reading “10 Rounds in the “Story Quiver”.”
Sunsets and Stars
Every night the sunset gets more and more beautiful. Since there are no cities in sight, the sky is so dark and full of stars. Going to Vermont in the winter time is one of my favorite places because the stars always shine so bright in the mountains. However, Bahamas ✨ top any other placeContinue reading “Sunsets and Stars”
Exuma Heavens
Since everyone else gave up on blog posts, I guess you’ll only be hearing from me for the time being. As you already know, you need a negative test within 5 days of entering the Bahamas and on Day 5 once you are in the Bahamas. Both were negative for the entire family, so that’sContinue reading “Exuma Heavens”
New Friends
Got to meet some new friends on Highbourne Cay the past few days. Louis, the dock masters pet parrot was my favorite. He was so friendly and was an exciting greeting every morning at the dock. Highbourne Cay is very small, with the island consisting of only the marina and resort. However, it is oneContinue reading “New Friends”
Random Thoughts
Washed my clothes in a bucket today. If you have never done it – you are not missing out. Watched a seaplane land. Had a big sand shark swim around our boat – even stopped Boomer in his tracks. Introduced Boomer to a goat and Toucan today. Toucan named Louie, goat did not tell meContinue reading “Random Thoughts”
Land & Sea
Woke up this morning to yet another 4:30 am role call to pull up anchor and move to a new spot. I feel like most of the time i’m the middle man in our family. I love the open ocean and sailing through huge waves (which we are currently sailing through now, about 6-8ft swells).Continue reading “Land & Sea”
Ranking
Ranking by Cindy If you watch the TV show Below Deck – this is not anything like it. I would compare some of our days more like the Amazing Race. Where we are racing to is beyond me. Our captain is always busy. This is the first sail on his new toy and he wantsContinue reading “Ranking”
Crossing the Gulf Stream
I have heard a lot of stories and they were never good. Brandon shared a crazy story with me after his first Bermuda race and it was so scary and even made HIM say, “I think I have checked that one off the list. “ He apparently must think I have amnesia or he ISContinue reading “Crossing the Gulf Stream”
The Sound of Sunshine
Woke up this morning to rain sprinkling through my hatch right onto my face (pun intended with the title but the way). It was a nice natural way of washing my face to start the day. I have the port forward bunk and Boomer’s little pitter patter normally wakes me up when he trots fromContinue reading “The Sound of Sunshine”
