Month: April 2013

Passage to Abaco

April 14. We’ve waited two days for the perfect conditions to take us from Current Settlement back to the Abacos. With the promise of 10-15mph of easterly wind we have sails up at 6:00am. There is no moon, no sun until 6:45, and no wind — well, just a zephyr from the southeast. We sail …read more

Spanish Wells

April 11. Thursday we sailed ten miles up to Spanish Wells to see Jean and Tom in their cottage ‘Done Reach’. We had visited with them last year, and wanted to swap books in their excellent book exchange (Lots of Sci-Fi and non fiction. No romance or self help). We planned to actually spend a …read more

Eleuthera

April 4 – April 11. You’ll be happy to know that Eleuthera Island is as long, beautiful, and friendly as it was last year.

Little San Salvador

April 2 – April 3. Tuesday April 2nd was the start of a weather window we could use to travel to Eleuthera. We’d have lighter wind the first couple of days, with an increase as the next front approached. We chose to travel with the lighter wind. Our first stop would be Little San Salvador …read more

Father Jerome

If you were a child on Cat Island in the early 1950’s, you loved seeing Father Jerome, the aging hermit who always had pockets full of candy for the kids. John Cyril Hawes, Father Jerome, was a British architect who became an Anglican priest in 1903. His first home in the Bahamas was on Long …read more

Cat Island

March 25 – April 1. When we came to Cat Island we knew that we would have no westerly protection from the impending front. We figured we could hold on one more time and suffer through it. The day of the expected weather we left McQueen’s, sailed north, and tucked up behind a sandbar southeast …read more

About Us

Hey! We're Greg and Duwan. We have been nomads since 2011.

This blog is a chronicle of our adventures and travels. If you enjoy our stories, leave us a comment on a post. If you want to know more about us, click here.
