Our journey through the Bahamas continues. Great friendships were made with fellow Leopard 45 sailors, George and Maria on Kymani. We travelled through a VERY shallow cut, caught 8 fish and visited the ruins of a house demolished by Hurricane Irma. The f...
We filled up the water tanks just to find out that it was leaking from the fitting in the tank. The second flood was on the engine room when we were filling with anti freezing. We forgot about the breathing tube hidden behind the insulation. So we had a hu...

We got on building the steps ...
Hunkered down between over 400 boats in one anchorage during a blow in George Town, Elizabeth Bay. We are in the beautiful Exumas, thoroughly enjoying what the BAHAMAS has to offer. We visit Calabash Bay and Georgetown, and this is only the beginning. BA...

With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics.

Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more.
We’ve had a spinnaker/whisker pole onboard since a fellow sailor donated one to us in Mobile, Alabama. We...
We finally put the exhaust system to bed. Our flexible pipe from MasterFlex arrived and Carla and I fit the system together. We are very pleased to have finished that job.
We then move on to the electrics. We wire the whole of the 240 volt system togeth...
We experience our first BLUE HOLE diving . . . Quite intimidating when you think there is 202m of water below you and you cannot see the bottom. Sadly in this particular blue hole, quite a number of free divers have lost their lives in recent years. It ...
