Playtime
Here in Nassau, we have finally booked into a marina for the first time in over a year. My famous unwillingness to spend money, coupled with Gesa’s dislike of manoeuvring the boat into narrow spaces and marina berths, has kept us happily at anchor for almost every night since St Lucia. So why does this […]
Where there’s a well, there’s a way.
We have spent almost two weeks in the Exumas Land and Sea Park, a beautiful and pristine 176 square miles of water and islands. The park headquarters is on an island called Warderick Wells, where we spent a couple of nights on a mooring in superb harbour where the deep water winds around like a […]

Hard to believe that our little girl is a third of a […]

Sharks at Staniel Cay
The fishermen at Staniel Cay are keen to offer you lobster and other delights. It’s outside our budget, usually, but we enjoy the sideshow when they clean the fish, conch and lobsterand throw the remains into the water. The sharks and rays have got used to the free food and hang around all day in […]
