Kick the tires and light the fires! Bahamas motor-sailing at its finest.

Did a day trip to Hope Town (spoiler alert its super cute), tentatively flew the drone for the first time and headed south to Spanish Wells. The wind was lite the whole time so we did a whole bunch of motor sailing. We were glad of our tour, however short, of the Abacos but where ready to get furthe...

Storming into the Bahamas!!

At long last we arrive to the Bahamas! Things went really smoothly right up until we got smacked by an unforecast storm where we got the highest winds we'd ever experienced so far with gusts up to 45kts. All things considered I think we handled it well. We were well rewarded after the storm wit...

Getting to the Hard part of the refit

We head south! We have things to fix on the boat that require it to be out of the water. Unfortunately for us, the nearest place that both allows DIY (mostly) and can haul out a 23ft wide boat is in St Augustine Florida about 200 miles away. We end up on the ICW most of the way down due to weather b...

Boat Refit Month 2

This is the second half of our refit before heading south to warmer waters. We had a number of projects going from batteries, to hull stickers, to construction on the starboard hull.

Boat Refit Month 1

Refitting the boat is a major undertaking. We knew it would be, but knowing it and living it are two very different things.

Dog moves onto boat & demolition begins!

Our favorite fluffy crew member finally joins us on the boat! Our dog's name is Arya and she's a samoyed. They're very friendly dogs, but also a little bit... vocal. She's been sailing with us a few times but it'd be a stretch to call her a boat dog (yet). Also, we finally ...
