Turtles and Sharks and Rays, OH MY!!! After hunkering down for our first Bahamas winter gale we set out to explore the islands that make up the northern Abacos. Starting at Great Sale Cay we point our Seawind 1160, Plot Twist, south to Cave Cay, across the top of Little Abaco Island to Allans-Pensacola Cay, then south to Spanish Cay where we enjoyed the small but very welcoming marina. We then ventured south again to Powell Cay where we had some beautiful snorkeling opportunities along the sheer cliff face that lined the small anchorage. Continuing south we headed Manjack Cay, also known as Nunjack Cay, where we met up with some very friendly Sting Rays. Our final leg south takes us to Green Turtle Cay where you will have to wait to see our exploration there!

You're very welcome! It's still all new to us and we want to share as much of the experience as possible. And, yes, who doesn't love a gal in pearls?! It's been Paige's signature look for many, many years.

Thank you! He's a very good boy, and like many, many dogs loves his family and just wants to be part of the action.

Hello again from Australia. I grew up with Danes from my pre-teens to my mid teens. Usually 1 or 2 at a time. Our dogs all loved the boats, but hated it if even one of us was in the water. I now suspect they really just wanted to be with us rather than they liked being out in the boat. Dad used to own a boat building business building 22' to 27' cabin cruiser stink boats (Power boats), so we were rarely without a 24'-27' trailerable boat. Once Khan (our first, biggest and best behaved Dane) jumped overside in panik when mum and dad (when scuba diving) disappeared under the surface, then my Brother and I also jumped over side to cool off for a few seconds. In retrospect, not a good idea. We all struggled for almost 1/2 hour before managing to rigup something to get him aboard again. Dad built a lowerable platform for him incase that ever happened again. Kahn never did that again, nor did any of our later Danes. But that platform slowly improved and went from boat to boat over the years. I very much love Great Danes but they really can't swim (or at a stretch they swim poorly and dangerously). Your Winston seems to be handling both of you being in the water very well. Plus Sugar Scoops if he does go overside. I guess I should mention that was some time ago now. I'm now 57 and sorting out my finances to buy about a 50-55' Cat.

Oh yes, Winston wants to be with us more than anything. We now have a dog dock (basically a floating ramp into the water) for him and we've tried to encourage him into the water but he hates swimming. He's fallen into the water by accident once before we had the dog dock and it was a nightmare to get him up, even on the sugar scoops. Much like Kahn, Winston remembers that dreadful swim and doesn't seem to care to repeat it. Where are you looking to purchase your cat?

Ah there’s no doubt. Watch him bouncing on a beach or resting his huge head on your shoulder…. he is a lucky dog and you guys are blessed with his presence. Thanks so much for sharing your precious moments with the world. I can see the growth in your skills and confidence over time…. it’s been a pleasure to watch. Thanks.

You 2 look like your having so much fun, your always smiling which is great to watch, the beach looked really good, did you have much sailing experience before you started out on your travels?

Thank you! We both started sailing before we met each other, but nothing like this! Our experience was limited to fair weather lake sailing and today we are sailing south on the Exumas Sound in 20+kts winds going about 7.5kts SOG (speed over ground).
