We crossed this bar last year in February 23, all I can say is wait for the right weather and go only at high tide. Bill was great and did an amazing job for us. If it wasn’t for them there would be many more sunken boats including mine.

The Abaco’s are a great start and close by if you need to run from a storm. Buy the Explorer chart books.

I need to get my Selene insured and I'm having a hard time as the only carriers are Markel which I have had for the last three years with no claims, they are saying they don't want to insure the boat in the Bahamas full time even with no hurricane coverage. The only other company is Concept...

I'm glad that we didn't see this Forum on the Selene before we bought her. The auction process is daunting and it causes your mind to dream up things that are wrong that really aren't. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the boat. It is in as close to new condition as you could get. We...
