We transit the “scary” Whale Cut passage to get the the big city: Marsh Harbour! It’s our first urban area since arriving in the Bahamas, so we’re not sure what to expect. What will the prices be like? What will the locals be like? We’re about to find out!
Explore an island with us! We check out every nook and cranny of Manjack Cay, from the ocean beach to the mangrove canals, from the sharks to the sea turtles! See it all for yourself, this photo-heavy post will take you there!
This is our first Bahamian island to explore, and we chose well! This entire post is photo heavy, in fact, the words are mostly to add continuity to the photos. If you like underwater shots, this post is for you!
After checking in to the Bahamas, we have to cross some big bodies of water to get to the inhabited cays. However, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see – plus, our best day of sailing EVER!
Drumroll! This is it, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for, months and months of problems and delays all leading up to this one exciting event: WE’RE IN THE BAHAMAS!
From the nuts and bolts to the solar panels and controller, we leave out no expense in this comprehensive overview of our solar energy system! If you’re thinking about installing your own solar panels, check out this post to see what we did and why we did it.
We’re shocked when the water in the anchorage suddenly turns clear and we can see straight down to the bottom. Naturally, we react by spending the entire day in the water, exploring and taking a million beautiful photos!
Things are changing! We keep heading south, and we’re starting to see some really pretty water colors. Also featured: I get snarky about bridges and other boats. Get off my lawn! And then it happens: we get as far south in Florida as we want to go – next stop, another country!
After a week of R&R at a marina, our parts finally come in and just like that, we’re on the move again! Plus: meeting up with friends!
We’ve had a rough few days, but cruising life looks like it’s about to pick up! Beautiful weather, calm water, and we’re moving south! We make it about three hours south…and then we lose an engine. And then I lose it.
