We battled our way, into the wind, swell and equatorial current for over a month and a half in the hope to get southeast. Caribbean Islands were calling us, but going against east trade winds is not an easy task. It is call the "Thorny Path" for a reason. 

Pristine and remote are two words that come to mind when describing the Far Bahamas. We experienced more challenging sailing grounds, with bigger distances, bigger seas and bigger storms as we travelled through these remote islands. 

Pristine uninhabitated beaches, crystal clear water and smooth sailling grounds make the Exuma Islands the perfect place for cruising. Every morning we wake up, surrounded by unbelievably turquoise water, and it feels like we are dreaming.

Our first crossing rewarded us with calm seas, beautiful sunrise and a land of scattered islands full of new adventures. 

The last few months of our lives were filled with many emotions. We are slowly getting used to the constant movement of the boat, most of the time a pleasant rolling back and forth, and other times a violent shake with untucked items flying everywhere as enormous motor boats fly by, leaving nothing but a disasterous wake behind. Jeff is getting up less frequently at night to check whether our anchor is dragging, as we gain more confidence in both our skills and our anchor. 

It’s white and burgundy outside with a teak interior, four beds (one shaped as a “V”!), one bathroom and a fold-away dining table.  It also floats and can take us to far off places. ​

​Hello everyone!

After a few stressful weeks of packing, selling and donating most of our possessions we were finally free of everything and on the road on Sep 24th. The huge pile of emotions from leaving the place we called home for the last three years collided with thought of the endless possibilities and exciting adventures ahead as we drove away, leaving Edmonton's early September snowfall behind us.
