The Abacos

Posted on July 2, 2014 by ScottMacDJuly 2, 2014

Since we had been to the Abacos the prior two springs this years trip would be shorter. We were, however, able to get to some different anchorages having come from Spanish Wells to the south not from the US east coast. Lynyard Cay would be our first stop. Our friends Jim and Beth arrived an hour … Continue reading →

Cat Island, Little San Salvador, Eleuthera and Spanish Wells

After a couple of days at beautiful Emerald Bay Marina it was time to move on. Prior to leaving we managed to do lots of laundry in their “free” washer and dryers, attend their Monday evening cocktail party, and make good use of the free internet. The only downside to Emerald Bay is its isolation … Continue reading →

The Exumas

We left Nassau at the end of March and headed to the Exumas where we spent a month exploring the many Cays that comprise this beautiful 130 mile long island chain. There are over 360 islands within the chain, the largest being Great Exuma. Our first stop after leaving Nassau would be Shroud Cay. We … Continue reading →

Nassau

Posted on April 10, 2014 by ScottMacDApril 10, 2014

The Berries are everything beautiful about the Bahamas and Nassau, well it’s not the same. Our 38 mile ride from Little Harbor in the Berry Islands to Nassau on New Providence Island was uneventful. We were approaching Nassau Harbor from the West, the same entrance used by all the cruise ships. Nassau Harbor Control keeps … Continue reading →

Berry Islands

Posted on March 25, 2014 by ScottMacDMarch 25, 2014

From Bimini our original route was to take us southeast across the Great Bahama Bank to Chub Cay but we decided to explore more of the Berries and head ENE to Great Harbor Cay before turning south. The run across the bank was an easy eleven hour ride with the autopilot handling most of the … Continue reading →

Florida to Bimini

Posted on March 23, 2014 by ScottMacDMarch 25, 2014

A month of skiing in Vermont was wonderful. The conditions were near perfect and from what I have read more snow has arrived. However we have left the cold behind and are now in the Bahamas. Our flight from Newark to West Palm was easy as usual and after several days of intense provisioning in … Continue reading →

Our month here in Weston ends this weekend and we make our way back to Big Smile. It has been cold and snowy but it is Vermont. The skiing has been superb. I complete my mandatory work days tomorrow and conditions should be great with temps in the 20’s. Cath is on her way back … Continue reading →

To the cold and back

Posted on January 17, 2014 by ScottMacDJanuary 17, 2014

Well, after leaving Harbour Isle in Ft Pierce, we ventured north via plane to Washington DC where Andrew picked us up at the airport in our own car which we had stored at his office. Andrew was quickly deposited at his apartment and we continued on to NJ for several days. Christmas Eve was spent … Continue reading →

Fort Pierce, FL

Posted on December 19, 2013 by ScottMacDDecember 19, 2013

We are now securely tied up at Harbor Isle Marina in Fort Pierce after a beautiful, twenty-eight hour run down the coast from Fernandina Beach. The weather was perfect, with north winds and three foot rollers on the stern. This combined to get us here three hours earlier than anticipated. It also got a lot … Continue reading →
