The forecast called for 12 knots of wind decreasing, but we had 17 to 30 for a couple hours. We kept heading down wind to make sure we didn't overload the rig to keep the apparent wind low. It was a wild day of surfing your home.

When worlds collide. As we sailed closer to Panama the mountain ahead of us happened to be the one we camped at in our Land Cruiser years ago as we drove the Pan American Highway. We camped up on a hill the day before shipping our truck to Colombia looking out at the water in 2018. Now, here we are in the ocean headed right towards our old spot. Our cubicle office dwelling selves never would have thought we'd do either adventure, let alone both.

We headed out from Jamaica knowing it would be a 4 night passage. Right out of the harbor we had good wind and were surprised to be sailing along at 8.5 to 9 knots. As we rounded the island we just kept cruising along at a good clip day and night. The next thing we knew we were 24 hours out from Linton Bay and if we sailed well we could make it before sunset of our third night. We came in right as the sun set and dropped the hook. A great passage.

It was one of those days. Our electric winch decided to stop working and our wind sensors failed. It was a good exercise in figuring out sail trim the manual way and raising sails the slow way. Our forecasted wind never seemed to show. It was almost all motor sailing. We went so close to Cuba we were waving at fisherman. Right about when we realized we wouldn't make it before immigration and customs closed the wind and waves came up. We were surfing down waves and hitting 11 knots and back to 8 in between. We made it and got checked into Jamaica during a down pour. It feels good to be in a new country! 🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲

When you both can't sleep at 2am... Might as well get sailing. A rough, but quick sail from Crooked to Great Inagua.

When you are tacking into it all day sometimes you just decide to go somewhere else. We'll try again tomorrow. Haha!

Up to 9.5 knots at times and then BAM down to 4 and back again.

We headed out of the Exumas to some big waves, but very little wind. Tacking our way East the wind clocked around but remained at about 10 knots. Finally as we approached long island we had a nice 14 knots and ripped along into the anchorage.

Glad to be in clear skinny water for a bit before we head East.

Here it comes! As much as we want food weather a day still catching up on work and boat projects while the weather passes is welcome.

Starboard engine kept flying and sucking air so we had to shut it down and use the port along with three wraps in the jib and two reefs in the main. Gusts to 30 knots. Sportiest conditions so far for us.

Sailed 80 miles to go 47. A long day of tacking into waves and then we ran around onto a sand bank in the pitch dark. Good times! 😂

Hopefully the last time we're in the USA for a few years.😁🤙 There wasn't much wind, but there was Mahi!

Great light wind sail across the Bahamas Bank. 2 Cero Mackerel and our first Mahi on this boat. Now, to rent a car to get mail and spare parts before we leave the USA for a long time.

When you're waiting on weather to sail, you might as well fill the freezer. 😍🤌

Kelsey's first catch! Kelsey has joined me on every daily dive for fish or shellfish, but today she got her first catch. A couple minutes after she got this lobster the biggest bull shark we've ever seen appeared from the darkness to see what was going on.

Hogfish for dinner.

A sharky spot. We take a bucket of guts away in the dinghy to dump away from the anchorage, but a couple sharks and barracuda show up every day. They must be used to daily scraps from boats. 😬

Beautiful sail with light winds on the beam to Flamingo Cay. 🦩

Happy to have dolphins visit. It's been a while!

It's been special to show my parents our new floating home and new life. Perfect light wind sail with the Asym. We had to take Bob to "Bob Cay"

Beautiful day, no wind.

A couple bugs, one giant, and a schoolmaster. Dinner for the next couple nights is sorted. Now we have to figure out how to cook this giant without overcooking the outside or leaving the inside raw.

If you squint, it's mint. A Dremel, Sikaflex, more delrin ball bearings and some old parts to make the jib car work. 🤞🤞🤞

We had some friends come by the boat when we were spearing dinner. 😬🦈

30 miles sailed before noon. Good day. 👍

Ol Goose decided to let his jib car balls out. Now we play pickemup and see if we find them all. We do have spare though. 🤞

This is serious stuff for serious people. Time to float on inflatable unicorns and bake in the sun. 🫡

Light wind nice little sail. This boat does so good in flat water. Nice work Goose 🪿 😍

People ask if we prefer overlanding or sailing? Not that offroading, meeting cool people all over the world and digging a hole to 💩 every day for 7 years wasn't fun, but... Sailing is otherworldly. We plan to jump in a truck or on motorcycles for a break as we circumnavigate, but if we can only choose one... We stay in the water. ⛵🌊

Something about a DC-3. Still almost 200 examples in use around the world and they were built almost a century ago. That's mind blowing. Most reliable plane ever?

Good times with friends. We met up at Schooner Cay and after a long day of spearfishing we headed to a small sandbar to have a fire and cook dinner before the tide came in and erased our presence.

Good slow sail with the Spinnaker out

Great sail with the Asymmetrical Spinnaker, Jib and Main out. Boat speed matching wind speed. Then a sketchy shallow route through sand banks to the Cay.

Chasing our friends down on the way to Governor's.

Beautiful day for a sail!

For those who've explored the Bahamas extensively. What's the most remote area in the Bahamas? More importantly, check out this Batman Golf Cart we saw today. What a legend. 🦇 #mustseegolfcart

Time for a new island and new exploring.

If you have to wait on weather you might as well go hunting for dinner.

Good eating. We saw and picked up our first Carribean King Crab and nabbed a grey Snapper while we were at it.

We had a nice sail out of Marsh Harbor after provisioning. While ripping along at 9.5 knots we had our jib sheet block snap. Found a spot to anchor and made repairs. Kelsey spliced an endless dyneema loop to use as the anchor point and off we went. We anchored at the beach club and found an old fiberglass batten to use in our sail bag. (We had to poach ours to put in the sail a couple weeks ago)
