Wednesday, March 12 We have had a lovely stay here at Marina Bahia, which is in a resort residence just outside of Samańa, DR. It’s been a very welcome break from bouncing in Changes on anchor. The weather has a pattern to it each day. The mornings start out cool, which for us is the […]
Today is Sunday, February 23 and I’m sitting in the cockpit with the sound of,the wind with the halyards clattering in the 12-17kt breeze from the east. We left South Side Marina at 550am trying to leave at high tide, and just getting out of the shallow channel only because Phil powered through the sand […]
Friday, January, 31, 2014 It’s 115pm and we just arrived at Cape Santa Maria on the North end of Long Island and a cell phone connection so the first time that we have had internet since we passed San Salvador Island going east. As those that have been following our Spot messages, you know that […]
Monday, January 27 Well we talked to Chris Parker and we can still go to BVI’s going off shore. First waypoint is 26N 72W. We left at 733am. We have an OK message going to Chris Parker so he can give us weather based on our position. Don’t be worried if it takes us a […]
I sit here today, Sunday, January 26, as one of the last three boats left in the anchorage as the other boats, which had numbered 15 at their peak this week, leave for other destinations. We think there is a big group of boats going to Calabash Bay and then tomorrow to Conception Island. I’m […]
Thursday, January 16 We’ve been listening to Chris Parker weather as usual in the morning and expecting a cold front to come through with NW winds. At first they were predicted to be 10-15 kts and we were planning on staying at Monument Beach anchorage off Stocking Island. Two things happened since yesterday’s weather. 1. […]
Friday, January 3 It rained this morning and the winds have clocked to the North at 6-8 kts. We get in the dinghy and try trolling. First time I hooked something a combination of factors caused the line to break and for me to lose my favorite lure. For one thing the tide was going […]
Sunday, January 12, 2014 It’s a warm morning in Georgetown with <5kts wind as we sit under the trees at Volleyball Beach watching men groom the volleyball courts (leveling the sand) while we wait the pig roast to start. There aren’t many people here yet, but expect it to get busy. There are kids swinging […]
Wednesday, December 31, 2013 We left Normans Cay at 8am on a warm sunny day with wind 7-8 kts from the east. SV Going Knots and SV Angelica, both French Canadians, left within minutes of us. I can tell we have been here awhile as I saw a school of minnows and 2 gar fish […]
Most of the days spent in Little Harbour Cay from Dec 19 to Dec 24 were spent relaxing. We didn’t have much internet, but enough to get our a few emails before the internet went away. actually, I didn’t expect any but way in the distance we could see the Batelco tower with diffuse light […]
