Blue Hole and Hurricane Nicole - THIS is LIFE on a SAILBOAT! (Ep.145) - Great Harbour Cay

After just arriving in the Bahamas at the Berry Islands on our Sailboat SV Cadence, we receive the update that tropical storm Nicole is turning into Hurricane Nicole. That’s life on a sailboat! But before the storm, we take time to snorkel the Blue Hole near Bullocks Harbor Cay and then do a few sailboat projects. It’s our first time but Matt shares how to create a thimble eye splice for the anchor.

Hope You Enjoy!
The Fosters

PS – Local knowledge informed us that Jack Nicklaus designed the golf course on Great Harbour Cay, but other sources say Joe Lee designed it. Jack Nicklaus owned a house here and kept his yacht in Great Harbour Cay Marina.

WHO ARE WE?
We’re the Fosters, and we just sold our house, purchased a sailboat, Cadence, a Catalina 387, and sailed away from land. We’re on a journey to minimize our life, learn to live on a sailboat and travel the oceans.

OUR STORY https://thefosterjourney.blog/
LIVE MAP OF CADENCE LOCATION https://thefosterjourney.blog/map/
HOMESCHOOL https://thefosterjourney.blog/how-to-homeschool-on-a-sailboat/

In 2019, Matt quit his public education career of 15 years, and went full-time building his own business. Olivia is ready to explore the world via sailboat, and so am I.

We’re sharing this journey with you in hopes that it’ll bring you a smile, provide something helpful, and maybe give a bit of inspiration to live life on your terms – to explore your world.

Join us in these weekly episodes as we take this journey into the unknown, and share some laughs along the way.
