Took advantage of the calm weather & motored our way through the coral head gauntlet to The Exumas! Was super nervous about this route when I looked at the charts, but it actually wasn't that bad when the sun was shining bright. Satellite overlay saved us when a few clouds tried to ruin the fun. Happy to be on the other side of that 🫣 It's our first time in the Exumas and we've got the next month to explore! Please share all your recommendations in the comments!

Super light winds and calm seas made for an unforgettable day on the water. Thought this would be a motor but we got a few great hours of sailing in, caught our first Mahi and dropped the hook at egg island for a swim! Ended up motoring around to Russel Island for the night to avoid the death rolls at Egg. Loved the little beach bar!

Hot tip: when crossing shallows at low tide, make sure the boat's got a good heal angle 😉

Took advantage of the calm weather and rode high tide through the Don't Rock Passage! Pretty cool shortcut - had 6+ feet of water under the boat the whole time 🤘🏼

Calm seas and light wind made for an unforgettable Gulf Stream crossing! Feels good to be back in turquoise waters!! 🤩

I can’t be the only one that forgets to start their track. Fun lake sail on an Express 27

Got on the water again and hauled the fireworks barges in. Beautiful day and tons of boat traffic up the channel. This might be the last year Fran makes the trip. The old girl has survived the Mississippi, being disassembled shipped to Lake Tahoe 1949. She was a casino paddle wheeler and the original MS Dixie until 1993 and a work boat ever since we’ve been launching the 4th of July fireworks off her decks for the last 30 years. She’s had a rough life.

Does everybody’s rudder pee after a haul out?

Got the boat on the hard and flew to visit friends and family. The views have sure changed.
