It’s a weird feeling to fear water recession. With the huge influx of water that surges in during a hurricane, often the boats simply float, to the extent they are unencumbered. However, when the water starts to recede, often the … Continue reading

Queen’s Bath Recovery: “Dat a Bit Big Dere”
2020 … what can we say? So many weird, scary, painful, odd things have happened to us this year, it’s hard to believe. I had planned to finish up this Queens Bath saga weeks ago and then … Sally stalled, … Continue reading
Injured at Queen’s Bath
Warning: there are some graphic footage and photos in this blog. If you get queasy easily, feel free to read a text-only version of this occurrence here. Part Two: As I mentioned in my last blog, what occurred that day in Eleuthera … Continue reading
A Frightening End to Our 2019 Cruising Season
Followers, I have quite the graphic tale to tell you. It’s something I debated even sharing here because … well … you’ll see. I won’t give it away. But, over and above our failed attempt to sail to the BVIs … Continue reading
