The Bahamas have so many stunning islands but this week we find paradise at Egg Island on Eleuthera. With calm conditions we get to dive the reefs, we even find a wreck of a tractor and share a fish fry on the beach with other cruisers. Cory speared his bi...
The best stop for provisions is Spanish Wells in Eleuthera. It has a well stocked grocery store and a colourful little town with a post office, restaurants, gift stores and a bit of everything. Even though what we came to Spanish Wells for didn't quite wor...
When there's so many thunderstorms in the forecast and the weather predictions keep changing it's extremely hard to plan a passage. After waiting in Spencers Point in the Southern Abacos we finally set sail across to Eleuthera. It ends up being a very late...
We did it! We finally set sail from Green Turtle Cay in the Northern Abacos and crossed to the Southern Abacos via Whales Cut. We even had perfect weather for it which made for a very enjoyable sail. A little overnight stop by Marsh Harbour and we carry on...

We then sail back over to Gree...
This is the full length episode of Riding out a 78 knots squall while anchored in Green Turtle Cay. April 11th, 2021 was intense and many sailboats were dragging including us. We later found out that this was a Force 0 Tornado. It was scary seeing boats fl...
Another great calm day entices us to return to the outer reef of Manjack Cay in the Abacos, Bahamas. The corals and caves are just spectacular there. But we eventually want to start seeing more of the Bahamas so we pull anchor under sail to do one last sto...

The Northern Abacos, Bahamas have it all from tropical islands, sandy beaches, great snorkeling and spearfishing to kayaking adventures in mangroves.
We start off kayaking around the mangrove near the wreck of the Stranded Naked pontoon before an Easter po...
In this video we share our sailing budget for the Bahamas during our sailing trip in 2020. We cover our food, fuel, boat, alcohol, docking and miscellaneous costs. During that first trip to the Bahamas our engine died within a few days of checking which di...
Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas had everything a cruiser needs from grocery stores, liquor store, fresh water, restaurants and trash removal. In this week's episode we keep exploring the Abacos by sailboat. We provision in Green Turtle and celebrate Easter...
Manjack is a real gem in the Abacos and it has it all. Cruising in the Bahamas is wonderful especially when we get to partake in so many activities. This week we explore Manjack's mangrove by dinghy, walk the famous Art Trail, go spearfishing, discover a b...
While anchored in the Abacos we decided to clean our Mercury 3.3hp outboard. We learn a bunch in the process with the help of two friends. We thought it was overheating or clogged up so we take it entirely apart.
If you like what you see don't forget to g...
Sailing without engine is something we still try to do even though we rebuilt the motor last year. We left Allans-Pensacola Cay behind and pulled anchor under sail. With the wind from behind it made it perfect to fly the gennaker and to even drop anchor wi...
Does it get any better? This week we share with you our life on a small sailboat at Allans Pensacola Cay in the Abacos. This is what cruising looks life when you get the perfect conditions and meet other sailors.
From spearfishing alongside sting rays, tur...
This video is all about how to take apart a sailboat winch as well as winch maintenance. When your winch gets loud and doesn't turn well it's time to dismantle it, give it a clean and lube it up.
If you like what you see don't forget to give us the thumbs...
Sailing in the Northern Abacos is simply amazing with postcard perfect islands. Last year we avoided this part of the Bahamas because of the damage caused by hurricane Dorian but this winter season 2021 we were taking full advantage of it.
After a successf...
The real Bahamas cruising started here in the Northern Abacos. Boat life can be a rollercoaster of logistics, weather planning and change of plans but it can be pure bliss like what we experienced this week.
We left Great Sale Cay behind and set sail for B...
Our sail from Freeport started off with surfing down some 6-7 foot steep waves which Cory has a blast doing. On the other hand I was feeding the fish. Fortunately we found shelter at Ginn Sur Mer near West End and along with SV Spirit Bird and SV Turned Ou...
After an unexpected wake up in the middle of the night we decide to pull anchor and leave West End on Great Bahama Island. Building waves force us to retreat in the commercial Harbor of Freeport but luckily the harbormaster waived the fee due to stormy wea...
This is it we are doing our testing to sail across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas. After so many weeks of work and stress we finally have our negative test and our Health visas from the Bahamas. Even though it isn't the perfect weather window we sail into ...
We took the DIY route and for less than a US$1000 we got 280Ah EVE cells and a 100A Daly BMS. In this video we do a full capacity test of our lithium battery. If you missed the building of the battery make sure to check out this video.
