Bat Moths on Our Leopard 45 Catamaran in The Bahamas. E44
Happy New Year!!! I know, it posted a little late. But better late than never.
In this episode hiked all over Lee Stocking Island in the Exumas on our Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran, finding another place to call one of our favorites. The scenery is once again spectacular, breathtaking. And Adrienne gets slapped in the face by a wave. (She’s laughing about it now.) Keep a look out for it.
Provisioning in the islands is definitely not the same as in the US. Grocery stores are small, and very few are plentiful, which makes luxury items especially hard to get. And if you can get them, they are ridiculously expensive. Would you pay $7 for an avocado? How about $10 for a package of Romain lettuce? So, when we do find such things and they happen to be reasonably priced, we stock up. Then we hide them. It keeps us in check, reminding us that these items are special. Find out what we hide and where we hide it.
Jeff hates flying bugs. Flying bugs and snakes. And while there are very few snakes here in The Bahamas, if any, there are these giant moths that hang around. Jeff calls them Bat Moths. I don’t know why. They don’t look anything like bats. Nonetheless, they scare the hell out of him. Watch him scream like a little kid when one lands on his salad.
If you’ll remember, we added two new solar panels before we left. They are called “bifacial” panels in that they harvest energy from the suns reflection off the water or the deck underneath the panel. Thanks go out to Andre and his team from Gulf Nautical and Steven and his team from The Yacht Rigger. We are raking in the sunshine!
And we ring in 2022 with a beautiful beach bonfire complete with Trentadue Rose Champagne (link below), Kristi’s homemade toffee, my gluten free onion rings, and great friends.
Happy New Year everyone!

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.
