Day after day…..sunshine…..temperatures in the seventies…..maybe a little cloud cover late in the day to help offset too much sun. What could be better? I mean we have it just as I could have dreamt it back when retirement was just a mental thought. But to make matters even better?????? Yes!!!!! Our dear friends on READ MORE

“Busy in the Plant”
Okay if any of my 30 plus year colleagues at Arc3 Gases are reading this, they will get a laugh from that title. Our industrial gas plant had a message on their answering machine that said they were “busy in the plant”. I always used to get a tickle from it and I still do READ MORE
Water Cay to Long Island
We are making our trek back towards George Town but elect with the storms coming to head to Long Island to wait out the next front. We have anchored at Water Cay before but this day we are anchored next to a lovely fishing boat from Spanish Wells. The two young gentlemen that we spoke READ MORE
Sous Mechanic For A Day
Here goes something I thought would never happen in my lifetime. Most that really know me know my inability to handle tight and confined quarters. This day would put it to the test as the captain was changing impellers on both engines. Admittedly I have NEVER walked or crawled through the engine room since the READ MORE
A Trip to Duncan Town
There is no trip to the Raggeds without a trip into “town”. Ducan Town was hit hard by hurricane Dorian but we have heard they are rebuilding and we are excited to have a look. We were told that the restaurant that we would normally stop by for a drink of some sorts was closed READ MORE
Raggeds Here We Come
This is the time we have been waiting for as we have sat in George Town way too long for our liking. The hustle and bustle of George Town is not my cup of tea……I prefer the remote, the quiet, the untouched surroundings. The anchor is up and we are off at 0800 and passing READ MORE
Last Day in George Town
Knowing that we would be heading to the Raggeds for a spell, we headed into the grocery store to purchase some last minute provisions and GREENS. But truly today was more about saying ”see you later” to No Limits and Crossroads. We would be parting their company…..they would head on to Cat Island and Eleuthra READ MORE
Monument-al
“Exceptionally great, as in quantity, quality, extent, or degree; a monumental work. of historical or enduring significance; a monumental victory.” Of all the years we have been in George Town, one thing I have never done is climbed to the top of Monument Beach. There is a stone beacon monument at the top of the READ MORE
Sometimes Plans Change
With a few days left in George Town to provision, enjoy and work on any boat issues before leaving, that was precisely what we would do. Changing oils, checking fluids, tracing leaks and repairing along the way. And then there is that! That thing you can’t repair that makes you hesitate and take a second READ MORE
Anticipation
The most appropriate definition I can find comes from the Cambridge English Dictionary……”1. a feeling of excitement about something that is going to happen in the near future.” That says it in a nutshell. With that feeling of excitement we head to our favorite beach bar on Stocking Island for a libation as we await READ MORE
