In late January of 2018 we left on what would turn out to be a 4 month cruise to the Bahamas. Departing from Saint Augustine, we went down the ICW to North Palm Beach, followed by two offshore legs to Key Biscayne. From there we crossed the Gulf Stream to Bimini, the western most island in the Bahamas. We spent some time in Bimini and Nassau, but most of the trip was spent in the Exuma Island chain which we thoroughly enjoyed. On the return trip in May, we left New Providence and sailed directly across the Bahama bank and Gulf Stream to North Palm Beach, then back up the ICW to Saint Augustine.
We wrote a blog post every day, and here they are in chronological order. Click on the picture to read the post.
