It was a long 11 hours traveling 85 mi from Bimini to Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands. Not surprisingly, it was rougher than forecast and Scott and I took turns feeling kind of yucky...but we didn't throw up! Hooray! It was a relief to dock at Great Harbour Cay Marina which is completely... Continue Reading →
Bimini
When we went to bed on Saturday night in Key Biscayne there were 24 boats, when we awoke at 6:30 a.m. there were only 12 and when we pulled up the anchor at 7:10 we left 4 behind...the result of a great forecast for crossing the gulf stream. The perfect weather is when the wind... Continue Reading →
Downtown Ft. Lauderdale
We had initially planned a 2 night stay at the New River Downtown Marina in Ft. Lauderdale to have our water maker doubled in capacity and to collect the final donations for the Humane Society Exuma.

Happy Hookers

Humane Society Exuma: Help us, help them
When we purchased "Unforgettable" we did so thinking that we could some how use the boat to help others. I wasn't sure exactly how that would work but I felt confidant that something would fall into place. Finally, I feel that we can start to fulfill that dream. The "others" that we are helping are...

December on dirt
What a long month it has been living on dirt. I would choose living on the water any day over living on dirt but three things I really appreciate about dirt living are...super soft, thick, luxurious toilet paper (on Unforgettable we must use single ply), watching the Today Show, and having the ability to go...

Our typical mode has been rush, rush, rush. We finished each day with plenty of time to do yoga together and prepare a nice dinner. Although... Continue Reading →
