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 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×

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 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'

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

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.

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
