    Summer Cruising Plans

    So as it is now we'll be spending a couple weeks in the Abacos from June 18-26th, or more as we rented a house in Hopetown so we're going to bring the boat there and have friends fly in. After the Abacos we'd like to hit the Exumas but we'll see how that goes, as we can't get away for more then...

    A great one!

    This summer thus far has been the best. It consisted of hanging out with my family, friends, working along side my family and generally having a good time. Between traveling back and forth to the Bahamas and in between working with my uncles I was awesome. Hope next year is just as good! How'd...

    Went fishing in our 17' Center Console Outboard powered boat. (Hope I got the label right) We were quite successful deep dropping in about 800' of water off Fort Lauderdale. We got 20 Black Belly Rose fish and a little golden tile.

We were hoping we'd get to make it all the way down to the T&C's but its looking like were not going to. Here's the current plan. -Bimini -Chub -Harbour...

    Thick!

    Putting Rod holders and a VHF in the trusty T/T Oliver and cut the holes and was damned surprised how thick the gunnels and console were. No wonder she's so slow even with the max rated hp that she has. Looks like it should out live me.

    What kind of sun glasses do you use?

    Well, Friday morning prepping to leave for Bimini I was leaning over the side of the boat and dropped my glasses. I have croaked but had lost them the week prior and never got new ones which is now costing dearly. I need glasses before we leave for our month long trip. Can't go anywhere without...

    Satellite Compass

    Finally getting one. The main reasons for getting one, were a) HDG data that isn't deviated by electromagnetic fields and b) HDG accuracy. I currently have a maretron SSC200 which is going to act as backup. The SSC-200 is very sensitive and effected but the slightest interference which cause me...

    Emergency Bilge pump installed

    Got it installed, ended up removing our manual bilge pump which had the same exact size hose the new pump needed. Getting another 2" hose through the area we had to would've been impossible. Also we didn't have to install a sea cock which is nice. So here it is.

    Anybody run little Bahama bank at night?

    We're planning on running over night from Port Everglades to Green turtle. I've ran the bank numerous times and the sea of Abaco but all in daylight. I'm thinking it's all relatively strait forward and should have no problem, got radar, got chart-plotters and paper charts. Also I never leave...
