Bahamas

2015: A two-week trip leaving from Jacksonville FL to the Northern Abaco Islands. We had our share of misadventures, dragging anchors, engines breaking down, salt water leaks on the engine, running into docks at night, ripping the clew out of our job sale on a high wind day, and a white knuckling the approach to Grand Bahama Island port of entry with high seas and the harbor master playing dominos. 35ft Morgan sailboat that had never been in open ocean.

2009: A week in the Northern Abaco Islands with two seasoned cruisers. On the crossing over, we were buzzed by a coast guard jet telling up to exit the area immediately. We were in the drop zone of the fuel stages for the shuttle launch. Luckily we didn’t see any falling projectiles!
