Nassau, The Bahamas

Hi, Every One!

We finally made it to Nassau! Never travel by sailboat if you want to make time! We left Florida late Saturday afternoon, sailed all night, had breakfast by a rock out in the middle of the ocean, overnighted on the Great Banks with a 360 degree ocean view, and arrived Morgans Bluff, Andros where we checked in and spent a couple of nights. We had a near perfect sail from there to Nassau yesterday. 20K winds and beautiful seas. Seems we spend alot of time on anchor so a day of sailing is a gift!

We've continued to travel with 'Good Medicine'. Picked up another boat, 'Unplugged', along the way as well. We will have another day with them here in Nassau before they leave to head south to the Exumas. We'll head in that direction as well after the kids join us on Wednesday.

We're in good company and enjoying being tourists in Nassau. Looking forward to making our way down island with promises of beautiful anchorages and fantastic fishes!

Easter Blessings to all of you. Thanks for staying in touch.

Love,
Judy and Phil


We are anchored in Nassau Harbor waiting for the "kids" to arrive. The boat to the left is Good Medicine from Missoula and the other boat is Silent Joy- the boat that we first sailed togather in Florida over 15 yrs ago. Posted by Hello

Waitin' for Weather.....

Hi, Everyone!

We're still in Marathon waiting for a weather window that's big enough to take us over to the Bahamas. We continue to keep ourselves busy with just one more project on the boat. Phil's installing the SSB and trying to acquire a modem for email at the moment.

We just purchased used bikes from another couple at the marina so have wheels while we're here. So, not much news at this point in time. We're still here and doing well. Great to hear from you. Stay in touch.
