Our sailboat's new (temporary) home is Reynolds Yacht Park in Green Cove Springs, FL. Nice town, BIG dock.
Yes, the dock we're tied to is HUGE. It's made of concrete and is, in fact, a dock that was used by the US Navy during WW2.
Reynolds Marina is pret...
On the St John's River in Jacksonville, FL, there's a free ICW dock that we've tied our Endeavour 32 sailboat to.
A number of noteworthy things occur in this video, despite a distinct lack of footage for this particular time period...
1) You'll witness T...
In the Florida ICW swamp, a No See Um swarm descends upon our sailboat and her crew. A horrible night ensues.
2 of the absolute worst nights we've experienced has been caused by something roughly the size of a poppy seed. Of course, there are millions of ...
Pine Island, Tambi's Family, Fireworks, & Harry Potter. That would be a fitting title for this episode, because that's essentially what you'll see when you press the big play button.
Lot's more ICW travel. Yes, the goodship Sandflea has been reduced t...
While exploring Manatee Pocket in Stuart, FL we discovered a topless sculpture of Tambi on the wall of Nautical Pickers.
Even though it was very tastefully done, it was still surprising to happen upon it.
Let's see - Manatee Pocket is a place we stayed f...
In this vlog, we check into the United States by visiting the Customs And Immigrations Office in West Palm, FL.
Time to get checked in, grab a load of groceries, and start heading North a bit towards Green Cove Springs.
In this video we adjust back into ...
We're crossing the Gulf Stream once again.
In this video, we make a big mistake...
...we go back to the States.
Well, that's my (Ben's) opinion anyways.
Yes, it's sad but true. We cross the Gulf Stream from East to West and we wind up back in the land ...
One cool thing about this trip has been that we've each been able to celebrate our 2017 birthdays in the Bahamas.
In this video, it's Molly's turn. We didn't have cake mix, so we made up a batch of pancakes, stacked them up in a rough semblance of a cake,...
We go to the beach, we see manatees, we ride in the dinghy, and go to dinner at The Brown's Garden.
As I type this, I'm still trying to come up with a name for this video. I have no idea what to call it.
Let's see. We go to the beach. Then we see manatee...
In this sail life vlog, Tambi enjoys the first REAL shower she's had in 3 months of cruising the Bahamas by sailboat.
Nothing makes you appreciate the little things in life more than doing without them for a while.
Take showers for instance. The overwhel...
Also known as Coco Cay, Little Stirrup is Royal Caribbean's private cruise ship island. Today we have it all to ourselves.
I suppose this particular destination is the least authentic of all the islands we've been to thus far. I say that because, in this ...
We weigh anchor and go sailing downwind from Egg Island all the way to Hoffmans Cay in the Berry Islands.
This may be the shortest video we've ever made, but I hope the effort that went into it is apparent. Basically all the footage ended up being really ...
We anchor the boat at Spanish Wells and take the dinghy to Papa Scoops to get icecream cones.
Whew - Getting a late release on this one. Internet issues almost made us miss this Friday release, but we've pulled it off! Behold...
Spanish Wells! Land of fi...
Without using our diesel engine, we sail through Current Cut and anchor at Meeks Patch, an island with swimming pigs.
Buckle up - this episode has it all...
Seasickness, sailing, protected anchorages, uninhabited islands, swimming pigs, snorkeling, and a...
After sailing through rocky entrance to Hatchet Bay, we anchor the boat and go spelunking in the nearby caves.
Tambi doesn't like bats, spiders, or the dark. Because of her dislike of those things, I thought it was strange when she wanted to go spelunking...
We anchor our sailboat in Alabaster Bay to explore the abandoned navy base on Eleuthera.
There's not much around the area, especially by foot. No restaurants, no laundry or showers, and no where to go for fuel or water. The only thing that is close by is ...
During our last couple days at Governor's Harbour, we check out the Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve.
I'll admit, that Tambi was far more excited about walking through the woods and looking at a bunch of plants than I was. When we arrived, and I had a chan...
In this sail life vlog, we go on a dinner date in Governor's Harbour in Eleuthera, Bahamas.
I feel like this video is a fairly accurate reflection as to what a normal day is like while out cruising.
You get up, you clean the dinghy, you do laundry, you r...
In this vlog, we anchor our sailboat under sail at Ten Bay Beach in Eleuthera without using the diesel engine.
It's really not all that hard, but it does take a bit of forethought and good communication between crew members.
Also, we enjoy the afternoon ...
In this vlog, we sail off anchor from Rock Sound as we travel to Ten Bay Beach in Eleuthera.
One thing I've noticed, is that Bahamians know how to cook good food. Wow. Case-in-point, take this day when we went to a local's house and enjoyed an amazing hom...
Sailing Totem and Sailboat Story unite to explore spider caves and ocean holes in Rock Sounds, Eleuthera.
The words "spider hole" does not typically describe a place that I would want to visit. However, if you get the chance, I highly recommend that you t...
We've safely anchored our sailboat in the protected harbor of Rock Sound in Eleuthera.
You could weather most frontal systems here, but you would need to move around a bit to stay close to the weather shore.
It was strange arriving here after being in th...
We tried sailing from the Exumas to Eleuthera today, but FAILED.
There are so many variables with sailing. So many things than can change for the better - or for the worst. Depending on the size of your boat and your experience level, the extent that thes...
