Relaxing at anchor? We can’t leave until we FIX TURTLE!

As we pulled up our anchor at our previous spot, we found that the windlass (which pulls our anchor off the sea floor) was making some EXTREMELY concerning sounds and couldn’t actually get the anchor all the way back up. We had to rig up some lines and manually pull the anchor the final way.
We decided to do something about it at our next stop near Spanish Wells in Eleuthera, Bahamas. We first tried troubleshooting from the electrical system but eventually realized we would have to take apart the windlass fully for service. This took some work. At the end, our windlass looks like its in good shape again to keep up anchoring.
While we were in Eleuthera, we made sure to see the sights around the beautiful town of Spanish Wells. We then headed off to the Glass Bridge and the Queen’s Baths to do some more exploring.

We are Dev (pronounced Dave) and Spandana (pronounced Spun-The-Nuh), a software engineer and developmental behavioral pediatrician, who gave up everything. Less than 6 months after learning how to sail, we bought a sailboat and jumped into full time cruising. Our Turtle is a 40 foot 1993 Caliber who has had 7 owners before us and has even been salvaged once. Join our adventure as we travel the world, collecting memories and barnacles!
