Getting Married in the Pandemic: A Deserted Island Wedding at the TTYC (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep.61)

The season is beginning to change in the Bahamas where we’ve been spending our time during the pandemic. In this episode we move out of our anchorage at Double Breasted Cay for the first time in 40 days, a new record for us! We’re headed to a birthday party with our friend, a Bahamian native who happens to be the head of the Royal Bahamian Defense Force. The other reason we’ve moved is to pick up a massive order we’ve placed with the mailboat – Two members of our crew have decided to get married so we’re planning a wedding! We waste no time preparing for the ceremony using palm fronds and other items found mostly on the beach.

We shared so much as friends during our time together during a global pandemic, and having an experience so intense end in the marriage between two of us, really was like something out of a storybook. We held the ceremony on a white sand beach and the reception at the Two Titty Yacht Club or TTYC. One of our C Crew members is actually a pastor. We had some musicians amongst the group including us, Bill and Grace, who played and sang at the beautiful ceremony.

Finally, this episode ends with the dismantling of the TTYC – Both a poignant and surreal moment for the group. It was yet another unplanned event that became a pivotal piece of our story as it marks the end of our time both symbolically, and actually, which you’ll see soon when we officially set sail and say goodbye to our beloved Double Breasted Cay.
