emerald bay, bahamas

With more windy weather in the forecast we decided to wait it out in a marina for a couple days. When the weather is bad you can't really get off the boat when you're anchored, but when the weather is bad and you're in

lee stocking island, bahamas

Lee Stocking Island is private, but in the Bahamas all beaches are public up to the high tide line. The last time we were here the caretakers of the island were not happy we were on the beach - even though we were following the rules and staying below the

black point, bahamas

Black Point has a few must do's. One of them is lunch at Lorraine's Cafe. Another one is getting coconut bread made fresh daily by Lorraine's mom. We stopped in Black Point in March (post here) hoping to get some bread, but the weather

You can't stop in Staniel Cay without lunch at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club and a visit with the sharks.

thomas cay, bahamas

The Bahamas is beautiful, but the weather is annoying. About once a week a cold front comes though that makes us have to find shelter from the wind and waves. The downside is sometimes we have to leave places before we're ready. The upside is that we'

warderick wells, bahamas

Warderick Wells is one of the most beautiful places in the Bahamas. When we were here back in April (post here) we only got to stay for one night. We had hoped we'd be able to come back again on our way up to Florida, but we didn&

The Bahamas has so many unique little islands to visit. This is one of them. 0:00 /0:08 1× 0:00 /0:09 1×

nassau, bahamas

You know you've made it to a big island when there are lots of cruise ships. After being in the Berry Islands for almost 2 weeks there were two things we really need to do - (1) buy some fresh food, and (2) get rid of trash. We

the berry islands, bahamas

The Berry Islands are fairly remote despite being close to Freeport. There were no restaurants. No places to drop trash. No big cities. No houses. Just white sand beaches, a blue hole and lots of sea life. Really the only attraction here is Hoffman's Blue Hole. We'

freeport, bahamas

We only spent one night in West End. The next day we headed over to Freeport for a couple days. Apparently Freeport is the hub for oil imports and exports. We passed a lot of huge oil tankers on our way. The first time we had a Bahamian breakfast was

hello bahamas!

West Palm is a bit nostalgic for us since Braden and I lived in the area for so long and Emma was born there. We enjoyed being in a city that was so familiar to us while we waited for good weather to get over to the Bahamas. We saw

happy birthday olivia

For the last two years we've been on the boat for Olivia's birthday. I'm not going to lie. I felt a lot of pressure for this one. She was so excited it was her golden birthday and I did not want to disappoint her.

until next time st. augustine

It was a busy couple weeks in St. Augustine. We had lots of boat projects, shopping, cleaning, organizing, family time (especially the girls who spent the last two weeks with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) and a little bit of sight seeing. As with any place we stop we

We've been wanting to take the girls to an FSU football game for years. It doesn't really make sense living in Minnesota, but it does make sense when your family lives in Jacksonville, your boat is in St. Augustine and you have friends in Tallahassee. Our

Once we got to Florida we wasted no time getting to work on our endless list of boat projects. Since we're in the US where parts are easy to get, we wanted to get a lot of projects done that have been on the list for a long

Once we decided on a route down to Florida it was time to pack the car and get on the road. Our goal was to get to New Orleans in two days, spend a day exploring the city and then get to Florida on the fourth day. Our first stop

fall recap

Our fall was just as busy (or busier) than our summer. This fall we - made lots more sourdough, saw the jack o lanterns at the zoo, rode rides at Mall of America, took Nana and Grandpa to Duluth, went to the RV museum in Indiana, took the girls to

summer recap

After we got the boat ready to leave in Florida we spent some time with family before heading back to Minnesota for the summer. As soon as we got back the girls did their yearly assessments so summer could officially begin! We've been going non-stop since we got

I have a lot of catching up to do... After lots of discussion we decided we would leave our boat in West Palm Beach for hurricane season. We were already there. We know the area after living there for a long time. We were all ready to get a break

With hurricane season quickly approaching it was time for us to get out of the Bahamas and back to the US for the summer months. We always put out a fishing line on the long trips, but have only caught (and released) a couple barracuda. We finally caught something worth

When we came to Nassau at the beginning of April Emma was bummed we didn't spend any time at Atlantis. To be honest, I was a little bummed too. Water parks are on my list of places I love to go. Last week we stopped back in Nassau
