We put on our big girl and big boy pants and traveled 634 nm. (729 statute mi.) in 74 hours! We averaged 8.4k and traversed 4 countries ( Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Cuba, and USA). We did cut through the Bahamas rather than going south below Great Inagua despite the Bahamas being closed. It was... Continue Reading →
The Prime Minister of the Bahamas closed the borders at 9 a.m. today and specifically stated that private boats would not be allowed to enter or transit until March 31. Why is that important to us? Our easiest route is through the Islands which gives us protection from winds and waves with plenty of anchorages. ... Continue Reading →
This blog post was supposed to be about our fun times in Turks and Caicos with 3 sets of guests. Rather, it is about the coronavirus and self-isolating. Like everyone else, our world has turned upside-down. Don't get me wrong, we appreciate that we are isolated in a beautiful location with wonderful weather and being... Continue Reading →
It was a windy five days in George Town. How windy was it? So windy we didn't leave the boat for three of the days and wished we hadn't one day. There were 332 other boats in Elizabeth Harbor poised to participate in the Cruisers Regatta which began the day after we left. Darn! ... Continue Reading →

Last... Continue Reading →

However, our tanks are filled to the brim with fuel (1760 gal) and water (400 gal). Our guest stateroom is packed with books to donate and... Continue Reading →
Finally the makeover is complete. The last piece was delivered the day before we left Stuart (the refinished round table). Our "ugly pole" was not replaced, much to my dismay. Hopefully, the color and beauty of the rest of the room will not be darkened by the homely pole in the galley at the... Continue Reading →
Although sometimes it's a lot of work, a pain in the neck when dealing with difficult wifi, and challenging to insert pictures, I truly enjoy writing this blog. So why haven't I written since November? Basically, I had a huge, dark cloud hanging over me while away from Unforgettable, both literally and figuratively. Thus, the... Continue Reading →
We made it!!!! We made it to Stuart in exactly 20 days. Unfortunately, we had to depart St. Augustine earlier than we would have liked on day 16 in order to arrive in Ft. Pierce by day 19. Why was it so important to be in Ft. Pierce you might ask? Because we wanted to... Continue Reading →
