Our New Crew!

Mitch and Ally are safely onboard and we're ready to head to Mayaguana in the Bahamas.



We make it by dark but decide to go a bit further to tuck in on the West side for the night in case we're greeted by the tropical wave behind us. It never quite found us, so

we take in a bit of snorkeling and fishing before leaving for Long Cay. Bob brought in a black fin tuna and Mitch brought in a grouper, mmmmmmmm...both were delicious!

This one was too pretty so he's going back in


This one is pretty too but we think we'll keep her :)



Bob is plotting our course to Long Island, we leave just before sundown and will sail all night taking turns at watch.















We arrive in Clarence Town, Long Island Bahamas around 8:30 am















Ally put up the Q flag as we wait for our customs officer















We have a little time to wait so, we get in a little reading
















do a little laundry















A trip around the island provided some interesting sites















































and characters... Below is chef Bo from the Rowdy Boys Bar and Grill. He makes a mean fish nugget out of Wahoo.


We're off to Rum Cay!

  2. Bob....Just started following your blog (not done this before). Looks like you and 'crew' are having great time bringing the boat up. (Mitch sure has changed since the days of the 'farty-talky' in Indy, huh!) I see you are in Bahamas now....I like them a lot, especially Nassau.

    Say hi to all for me. We had good time @ Chuck's on July 4th, though it rained cats&dogs. When are you back in Keys? Might be going diving with friend from work @Islamorada on Aug. 8th to 12th (or so). Stay away from pirates.
