UPDATE: Our "Lazy Do Nothing 2012 Bahamas Cruise Recap (for now)"

What a spot to think about absolutely nothing. 

Well we have been here in Hope Town for a week and are prepping to move on to another of our favorite spots here in the Abacos, Treasure Cay. So it’s time to share a little of our adventure here in Hope Town and recap what we did in the Exumas and Eleuthera.

Let's see, where do we begin? Well let’s start by sharing how much fun we have had buddy boating with Sandy and Ray on s/v Megerin. These guys have been awesome to cruise with. It started in Brunswick, GA back in November, 2011 and has continued off and on throughout this season. 

There were a couple of breakaways, Megerin in Ft. Pierce for the Holidays while we were in Vero Beach and then Ft Lauderdale for Christmas and New Years. Since Megerin rendezvoused with us in Miami, we have been joined at the hip so to speak. We go our own ways when we get to an area, but have made all the major crossings together. It's good to look out and see a buddy boat when you are making a crossing or sitting out nasty weather on the hook. These guys have been great company and friends and we are fortunate to have had this experience with them.  


We were also blessed to have had other buddy boats along as well for parts of this years adventure. Old friends Mike and Barb on s/v "Goose Bumps"; Art and Ann on s/v "Discretion"; Bill on s/v Memento Mori; new friends Ward and Richard on m/v "Baggerra"; John and Marilyn on m/v "Carolina" ; Russ and Carol on s/v "Zivelli"; Rick on s/v "Feral Cat".  It's been a good year so far. How can one complain having some of the most beautiful water on earth as your backyard for 7 months of the year.


Anyway a short recap of our basic "Sorry-Ass Do Nothing 2012 Bahamas Cruise" has gone something like this: Miami; - Nassau; - Highbourne Cay, Exuma - Hawksbill Cay, Exuma; -Warderick Wells Land and Sea Park, Exuma; - Sampson Cay, Exuma; Black Point, Exuma; - White Point, Exuma; Little Farmers Cay, Exuma; Big Majors Cay, Exuma; Rock Sound, Eleuthera; Governors Harbour; Eleuthera; Alabaster Bay, Eleuthera; Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera; Royal Island, Eleuthera; Spanish Wells, Eleuthera; Lynyard Cay, Abaco and Hope Town, Abaco.
