We were at Big Major’s Spot, Exuma yesterday, so we thought we’d visit the swimming pigs of Pig Beach. The story is that years ago, a local left his pigs on this island, and over the years, visiting cruisers would … Continue reading

The night I did that last post, Phill and I came back ashore to see what was going on with the regatta preparations. Boats, captains and crews were arriving from other islands on ferries and there was much activity building … Continue reading

Seeing as we have to get back to work in a just a few short months, it’s time to turn this rig around.
We’ll be leaving today and hope to get to Long Island, Bahamas (or thereabouts) in five to seven days, depending on the wind. The weather looks good and we’ve fixed the things that decided to break on us here in the BVI, the most critical of which was the engine’s raw water pump ($600 for the parts – ouch!).
We have lots of options for stopping earlier than Long Island if we’re not having fun, and we’ll check-in with the SPOT* often.
Talk to you in a week (hopefully less) – we have lots to catch-up on!
