Passage to Cat Island

We wanted to stay in Conception longer but a day of southerly wind was in the forecast. Conception has little protection from the south so we blew out of there first thing on Saturday, heading to Cat Island northwest of us. Cat is shaped much like a backwards ‘L’. The lower part is about ten …read more

Conception

March 19 – March 22 In the morning, flocks of Tropicbirds make passes over patches of water looking for their new day’s repast. From a distance they appear as white flakes in a shaken snow globe, gently hovering and swirling in the sky. Up close, you can see their brilliant white feathers, long trailing tails, …read more

Passage to Conception

Monday March 18th we wake early and start our passage to Conception. The day starts with a light southeast breeze. The first leg of our trip is through charted shallows up the remaining 15 miles of Long Island coastline. We proceed slowly, but even at low tide the water is much deeper than the charts …read more

Long Island

March 15 – March 17. Omar tells us ‘I have been giving island tours for years and this will be the biggest yet’. We are the first on the bus, sitting behind him so we will be able to hear everything. Parked here in the dirt road, by the trail head, near the northern dinghy …read more

Thompson Bay/Salt Pond

March 9 – March 16. We are currently anchored in Thompson Bay, Long Island near the town of Salt Pond. This bay is probably one of the prettiest bodies of waters I have seen in during our journey this season. These dazzling blue, steady waters stretch out seemingly endless past Indian Hole Point into the …read more

Long Island Passage

It’s 6am Friday March 8th. We finally have a good weather forecast for the 35 mile trip to Long Island. The dink is tied onto the deck, and I take the sail cover off for the first time in two weeks. We motor-sail the first five miles between the coral reefs, rocks and small cays …read more

Georgetown/Crab Cay

February 27 – March 8. Weeks before our arrival in Georgetown, I had been remarking to Greg how good I felt and how it was making such a difference this season compared to last. Days before we left Lee Stocking Island, though, I started feeling stress in my bones and joints. During the trip through …read more

Georgetown

February 21 – March 8. Georgetown is a great place to visit if you live on a shallow draft boat or have a high speed dinghy. The town itself is on Great Exuma Island. To the northeast the Stocking and Elizabeth Islands protect the town from Exuma Sound, forming the two by four mile Elizabeth …read more

The Elkhorn Reef

February 15. Dear Reader, I owe you an apology. Due to indecision and a tight rein on money I have managed to fail in our mission to share with you in words and photos our adventures on the water. A simple purchase before we left the states could have prevented my negligence. It is too …read more

Lee Stocking Island

February 13 – February 19. The Perry Institute for Marine Science was established in 1970 on Lee Stocking Island. At its peak it received funding from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and several universities. It was dedicated to the studies of energy, marine conservation, lobsters and food fish, invasion of Pacific lionfish, coral …read more
