Happy Mothers Day from Spanish Wells

When I last left you we were getting ready to enjoy one of Lorraine's wonderful Bahamian dinners at Black Point. We have put a lot of water under the keel since then and this is the first Internet we have had for seven days. From Black Point we changed our plan because of wind forecast for a couple of days, and went back to Staniel Cay for a couple more play days at the Yacht Club and beaches. From there we headed to one of our favorite remote stops for a couple of days at Cambridge Cay in the Exumas Land and Sea Park. What a beautiful place to explore. From there we fished our way to Ship Channel where we anchored out for the night. Yes, we caught fish. In fact we had two mahi on at one time. From there we headed into Spanish Wells where we were going to pick-up a mooring ball. The mooring field was full, and Sea Pearl was docked at Spanish Wells Yacht Haven, so we decided to go into our first marina in weeks. We had only been tied up for about thirty minutes and Joe and Julia invited us and Tide's In over for cocktail hour. When we arrived for cocktails we found out that it was Derby Day and there were six other cruisers there to watch the Derby. Bets were made, the horses ran, Stephanie and I lost. Had alot of fun for ten dollars! Cocktail hour went on for longer than an hour and we finally got back to September Song around 23:00.
Today we have a golf cart rented, and Stephen, Pam, Stephanie and I are going to explore Spanish Wells.
Again, it's time to go play, and it would take me the rest of the day to give you all the details of the last seven days.
You will need to click on older posts at the end to see the rest of this blog. It's a long one.

Nothing fancy, but good Bahamian food, good WI-FI, fun place to explore, and great people who we have been friends with for three years.


The first time we met Lorraine she was pregnant with Joshua. Now he is a terror at two.

This boat has been under construction for three years I know of. I think they added one or two boards since last year. "No hurry, you're in the Bahamas Mon"
