Grand Bahama Bank to Bimini, 80+ miles passage from The Berry Islands, Chubb Cay. We figured it may take us as long as 12+ hours for this passage. We left Chubb before day break at about 5am, pulled the anchors, and set off. It was amazing to see absolutely nothing for the whole day, and [Read More →]
Chubb Cay, Berry Islands, Private Resort. Complete with marina, airstrip, restaurant, Infiniti pool and beautiful beach. This place is a riot after spending months in remote islands with no amenities for the most part. The only resort type place we went to so far has been Atlantis. The Chubb Cay resort just entered into bankruptcy protection [Read More →]
After provisioning in Nassau we set a course for the Berry Islands, a 36 mile passage across the North East Providence Channel. A large body of water between New Providence and Berry Islands. It’s amazing how deep these waters get from the shallows of 10 feet in the Bahamas Cays to 7,500 feet and even [Read More →]
We are getting pretty comfortable with anchoring out for extended periods and not heading to a dock as often as we use to. This is saving us quite a bit of money on docking, which in the Bahamas can cost anywhere from $2 to $4 per foot. In fact we have not been at a [Read More →]

After leaving the boat on the mooring for a couple of months, we returned for a few weeks in March break. Found the boat safe and sound as we left her. I recommend this mooring 100% for anyone leaving their boat for any extended period of time. We made it back just in time for [Read More →]

We arrived to an anchorage in George Town a couple of hours before sun down. We anchored along side “Tia Anica” the large boat we were racing to George Town. They landed just before us, and these were the only convenient spots left to anchor. There are usually hundreds of boats anchored in George Town. So [Read More →]
The island hosts their annual Cruisers regatta on New Years Day, January 1st, 2009. What a way to start the new year!
