Diving shallow waters has its advantages. Shallow water allows more light and brighter colors. The Pimlico Cays in the Exumas are shallow and rocky with plenty of healthy coral, beautiful reef fish and angelfish with attitude. We'll call this beautiful, bi...
We didn't get enough of Conception Island during our last short visit, so we couldn't resist as this paradise Island beckoned to us all the way from Cat Island. We weighed anchor and sailed back to explore the beaches, mangroves, reefs and stunning feature...
Calabash Bay. Long Island is a beautiful area, with a Bahamian resort along the sandy shoreline, shallow, but stunning Hoosie Harbour caves and beaches, and the apparently famous Rainbow Reef just outside the harbour. Is the reef all it's hyped to be?

In this episode, we leave Panama City and sail to the Las Perlas Islands in Panama. We finally get our spinnaker up for the first time and have a great first real sail in the Pacific Ocean. With our canal transit behind us, we spend our days in the Pearl I...
Every shadow in the water is a potential discovery. Is it a rock, grass, coral head, shark, ray, turtle, boat? We don't know. So we go explore, and we take you with us. Look at what we found in this little anchorage! THAT wasn't on the chart!
Don't forge...
It's a WHIRLWIND weekend in Cabo San Lucas! We celebrate arriving in Mexico, ending the Baja Haha, *and* Taylor's birthday (with crazy surprises!) -- and then it's time to pick up the hook and continue north.

Near Heddy's Land on Great Guana Cay, we anchored (poorly) near a rock just off shore. It turned into our first true experience of just how abundant coral life can be, even on a small coral head. We're hooked. A beautiful spotted eagle ray, hiding grouper ...
From Staniel Cay we sail south to Black Point, Great Guana Cay, to explore the anchorage and walkabout the back country of this beautiful Cay.
In this video we use the raw audio from our cameras. Sometimes background music just takes away from the feel of...

We try to dive the anchor at every stop, especially if we're in a crowded anchorage or expecting high winds. It's great piece of mind, and it's another excuse to jump in the ocean and have a look around. Watch to the end to find out what might be looking b...
Being a sailorgirl has its highs and lows! At Heddy's Land, Great Guana Cay, I head up the mast to retrieve a broken pennant halyard, and then we dive on a beautiful manta ray. It's all fun and games until we check the anchor.
We were featured in an arti...
