The first thing we did when we arrived to see the boat was “BOMB” the boat for bugs!!! I really hate bugs and there was no way I was going to co-habitat with them. After bombing we sprayed all of the outside. Not sure how good it works but we shall see… Then the work …
Yahoo!!! We are finally ready to start our adventures again!!! It has been a long time coming and I can imagine all of us are feeling a little unsettled but with the Canadian/US border open we are going to see our boat in Florida. If you remember when we left the boat in March 2020 …

It is natural beauty with no fishing, hunting or conching. We saw lots of wildlife on our short hikes The …
We spent about 10 days in George Town. Initially we anchored close to Chat N Chill but with another impending cold front coming we felt we needed to move for better protection. I wanted to go to Red Shanks which is over on the George Town side and offers all around protection but it is …
While still waiting on parts to come into Staniel Cay we go to the dump frequently and do some provisioning (since the mail boat has come in and stores are restocked!!).
