A Broken Bilge Pump and Cruising Through the Bahamas. E50

Can you believe that this is episode #50? My, how time flies. In this episode, we have an epic sail from Long Island to Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas. We were sailing 9.5 knots! I caught and filleted a 36″ Mahi, and Jeff got to clean up the mess.
Our small Leopard flotilla sailed from Georgetown to Boise Cay (I accidentally said Rat Cay in the video) to see the best blow hole in The Bahamas, followed by some relaxing beach time at Lee Stocking Island.
Back on Long Island, the Aurora and Kailua contingents rode bikes and scooters all over the north end, visiting the Columbus Monument and the Busted Bridge Restaurant. Unfortunately, it was closed. But we all enjoyed the ride, including the 4-legged friends. And listen for “Can We Go” by Nevertel. It’s our son’s band. We’re very proud of them. Check them out via the link below.
Our Vessel Vanguard program alerted us that it was time to inspect our bilge pumps. It’s a good thing, too, because our port side pump was broken. This was the first time we replaced one, and taking Nigel Calder’s Marine Electronics course at Cruiser’s University last October helped prepare us for the task.
Finally, we made a quick trip home to visit the Miami Boat Show, see our families, spend time a my parents’ antique steam car museum, The Collection on Palmetto (see link below), and attend Jeff’s friend’s wedding in Miami.
We packed a lot into these 18 minutes, so we hope you watch the whole thing. Enjoy and thank you!

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
