Month: March 2026

Last night the “Fish Fry” by the Rock Sound beach went way too long and the music blared into the early hours. They finally stopped around 2:30 am.

We left early this morning with a nice wind to start us going. I pulled up the main sail for the first time. It was indeed heavy!

About a few hours in we decided to try some fishing. The first fish took the lure immediately. I did hook a second fish but had trouble reeling it in. Jeff worked on the fish for about 20 minutes before the line finally snapped.

We later learned to slow down the boat after you hook one. We are not the greatest at fishing – that’s for sure! After fishing, we hit a little rain storm

Of course the rain didn’t last long. We anchored about a mile south of glass window bridge near Mutton Fish Point. There is supposed to be great snorkeling there (first pic below). We’ll find out tomorrow!

After a big breakfast we decided to hike the 4 km over to the Atlantic side. However they had just tarred the road and it was super hot and hilly. Somewhere over this hill we decided to walk back. A nice guy from Rock Sound picked us up and took us to the hardware store- our next destination.

After the hardware store we walked to our dinghy and I took pics of the lovely Eleuthera flowers along the way.

We did a little swimming over by the church. Then Jeff put on his Hillbilly diving apparatus and worked under the boat doing something.

Perfect evening for a fish fry! Evidently they have one every Friday. We could hear the music from our boat.

We had an early morning departure from Warderick Wells on our way to Rock Sound Eleuthera. The cut from Warderick Wells was wide and fairly easy to navigate when we went through in the morning.

There were four or five beautiful white long tail birds chirping noisily as we went through the cut.

Another easy day of sailing as winds were favorable across Exuma Sound.

Sailing all day with no engine was a treat! We finally turned on the engine at the entrance to the Harbour.

We had a small explosion as we entered the Harbour. Our air horn got too hot in the sun and the Freon exploded out of it.

We left our anchor spot this morning heading north. There was a cat beside us that had 3 little boys helping dad with the sails.

Once underway we turned off the motor and just sailed – the first time in a long time.

It was a pleasant day for a sail so we took it easy and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Quiet day at Warderick Wells – we didn’t even get off the boat even though we got here early afternoon.

Jeff got a call from a fellow sailor having transmission problems at Great Harbour Cay and tried to help him as best as he could. He remembered Jeff had helped with Mark’s transmission last year – although that involved a trip to Miami, cousin Dani in Ft Lauderdale and Titan Air.

Tomorrow off to Eleuthera!

Leaving Cleopatra’s place was bitter sweet. We enjoyed coconut bread French toast the morning of our departure.

The cousins spent the last few days at the Peace n Plenty resort in town. We spent some time at the pool, snorkeling, eating at the Sand piper cafe and enjoying the view from the harbour.

They left yesterday – back to California. Jeff and I set sail this morning – heading for Littke Farmers Cay. We took one last dinghy ride to town to get some gas and a few groceries before we hit the open water.

Since we went ahead and bought a fishing license while Glen was here we decided to throw the pole in the water and do some trolling.

This was what the fish may have looked like that took our lure. We will never know.

Coming into Farmers Cut was a bit rough. But Captain Jeff handled it like a pro. We are now at anchor at Guana Cay just North of Little Farmers Cay.

Another beautiful sunset!

After an early breakfast we drove up north to the bakery for some cocoanut bread. Then off to the sandpiper souvenir shop

Then off to Little Exuma to go to Tropical Breeze

Afterwards we did a little snorkeling then back to the vista. For dinner Glenn grilled his fish he caught – wahoo!

Linda and Glenn from California came to stay in Exuma for about 10 days. We rented an Airbnb with a boat dock from Turquoise Villa – it was perfect!

Our first day we rented a boat from Minns and went snorkeling and then to the Coconut club.

The next day we went on the 7 beaches tour with Exuma Water Sports.

We also went on the “lazy river” which was not lazy at all. The current was so strong and it was really tough to get back on shore (for some of us who went too far).

We spent time at the man-o-war sand bar – amazing!

We were back at our place early afternoon. It was so nice to be able to dock our boat right in front of our Airbnb.

We found a live conch who we think got stranded during high tide. Glenn put him/her back in the water after we saw it struggling to find the water.

Linda and I went to the Tropic of Cancer beach while Glenn and Jeff worked on the boat. The road to the beach was pretty sketchy.

Today Jeff and Glen are out on a deep sea fishing adventure while Linda and I are going beach hopping 🙂

For dinner we went to Blu on the Water. The food was amazing!
