We arrived at Water Cay around 1700 hrs, not a long day. We anchored off a beach, with Innu just to our south. Winds were around 10 kts all day, and continued into the evening, providing a relatively calm night at anchor.Innu was anchored in front of a limestone bluff, and enjoyed watching a pair […]

With the prediction of “trawler weather” holding for the following week and beyond, we decided to join Luc and Hélène aboard Innu and make the trip to the Jumentos Cays and Ragged Islands. Since the week of fair weather coincides with the time we have until our guests arrive, We’ll be able to make it […]

We left Oven Rock at 0740, transited Galliot Cut about an hour later and arrived at Georgetown on Sunday afternoon. The cruise was relatively smooth, with head seas of about 3 ft and about a 6 second period. Not ideal, but comfortable! Deep water means fishing! Just out of the cut we hooked a barracuda, […]

We heard from Luc aboard Innu as we raised anchor and decided to meet up with him and Helene close to Oven Rock. We made a stopover last year and enjoyed the cave nearby, and decided to visit it again. The four spelunkers took a dip in the calm waters of the cave, not quite […]

We departed Staniel Cay Monday the 19th at 1045 and headed south for an anchorage we had made note of last year. Hettie’s Land is a point of land south of Black Point Settlement, where the Cay is uninhabited, and not very wide. It’s a beautiful beach, and just a short hike to the ocean […]

With no internet available since we left Bimini, updates have been sparse! We’re at Staniel Cay, having arrived Friday from Hawksbill Cay– We’re just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, and spent some time at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club for an obligatory green beer. As luck would have it, the date is also the […]

We departed Highborne Cay March 13th headed for points south. With no real destination in mind, we decided we’d head south and decide a destination on the way. Celebrate was a few miles behind, they had arranged for a mooring ball at Warderick Wells, and since we determined we would revisit that part of the […]

Our overnight run from Bimini to Highborne Cay was a success, we actually enjoyed the alternative to what was previously a three-day slog with not much in the way of great destinations in between. We previously traveled south from Bimini and started out from Cat Cay at daybreak, making stop #1 at Chub Cay or […]

After spending 9 days in Bimini, we’ve finally been presented a narrow weather window. There are four boats here heading towards the Exumas, and after a captain’s meeting Thursday, we’ve decided our best escape route is via an overnight passage to Highbourne Cay. The east winds are predicted to lay down for about 30 hours, […]

Our March 1 crossing was uneventful if a bit on the lumpy side, but Sammy, our cruise comfort bellwether was not pacing and panting, so it was an acceptable ride! We departed No Name Harbor about 0700 and arrived at Bimini at 1500. Our cruise speed was on the slow side as we bucked the […]
