We hit the jackpot with this place. It's called Cayo Algodon Grande and it's an awesome island. Just watch the episode....words cannot express the colors and clear water of this deserted island. And we have a beach bbq of shrimps and lobster....what a place!

In this episode, we learn some important lessons about our boat, we discover bioluminescence in a VERY surprising place, and we make some mistakes. Oops.
On this epic episode: Our rigging is taken away and getting replaced, John modernises our water pump, we get new flexi solar panels, the winches are serviced.
We leave the Jardines and head to Cayo Cuervo in southern Cuba. I am hoping to trade with a shrimp trawler, get some prawns from them in exchange for some rum. We find out that the trawlers are on another cay, so that will just have to wait. But we find a tiny island that you could throw a stone acr...
We visit a wreck on a nearby reef. It is sad to see another boat washed up on a reef, damaged and stripped beyond repair. We take some time to explore the crystal clear waters and coral reef but return back to home base, Cayo Alcatraz to spear some dinner. It's Margarida's turn to supply t...

We go exploring around Cayo Alcatraz but it's not what we expected. It really is a lonely harsh place and I love it. I visit a hurricane devastated beach and search for crocodiles but there are non around. News of the Covid virus comes through on the Garmin Inreach and Margarida gets increasing...
In this episode Maru and I sail out from West End. Seeking a good place to anchor and truly begin living the cruising lifestyle here in the Bahamas. But along the way we happen..... I mean nearly hit an unmarked sunk sailboat!!! Had I not seen this, it could have sunk my own sailboat.
But instead o...
We officially check out of Cuba and leave Cien Fuegos as early as we can in the morning. Its a long day sail but we fall back on a backup plan when the wind gets on the nose. Eventually we arrive to an excellent snorkeling spot in a place called the Jardines de la Reina - the gardens of the queen. I...
We finally make the move from our house and to living full-time on our boat, and in the first 12 hours we have the rug pulled out from underneath us. This video is a short collection of the heartbreak, challenges, and the happier moments of our first month(s) living aboard our sailboat.
Important links for checking into the Bahamas:

Margarida is excited. We arrive to Cien Fuegos where she can finally get some culture. We also explore Trinidad, a nearby city where we find the world's biggest and heaviest hat. This really is a picturesque town but don't read this, watch the video!

In this episode Maru and I finalize everything at the marina and get ready to sail away. Finally finished with all sailboat projects, we are cleared to leave my marina slip and begin life on the anchor once again.
We spend that night anchored up and sail out just at first light. Sailing on the open...
We leave the western part of the Cays of the Gods and head to the lighthouse at the end of the chain. We are hoping to climb and take pictures from the top but the Cuban Military are there and chase us off. Oh well, it would have been nice but I don't want to go to prison for that....we sail aw...

My new crewmember Maru flies in and joins my crew aboard "Adventureborne". We spend the next several days getting her and my sailboat ready to sail for the Bahamas. It's a bad idea to take a boat from the dock, right out into the ocean. So we've been sailing and anchoring for sev...
We are still on opposite sides of Cuba. Margarida is still with her parents enjoying the sites while I have an easy run back to Cayo Largo in order to be ready to pick Margarida from the Airport.

What can I say? Margarida leaves and I am alone....oh well it's a sad time but I find a wise moray eel and she becomes my teacher - my moray eel teacher, and it teaches me not to dangle my fingers too close to its mouth....I am not sure what that is supposed to mean in the scheme of the things ...
Margarida's parents come to visit us and we do a tour of Cayo Rico and Hijo Reef.
Southern Cuba is a sailor's dream with crystal clear water, the whitest sandy beaches and stunning coral reefs. We show them all to Teresa and Pedro and we have a ball.
