Im starting to feel this adventure nearing the final chapters. And Im not quite ready.

Theo and Ben made a video explaining what nurdles are, what the issue is and how to help.

Theo’s post from Shroud Cay sums it up. Swimming right next to turtles, jumping at the Washing Machine, and spending all day in the water with friends.

A look at our 1979 Ocean Alexander MK1 trawler, Nanook: how we’ve upgraded her into a reliable, comfortable cruising boat for long-range travel and life aboard.

I tried to see everything in one day. That included iguanas, a plane wreck, the Aquarium, rays, and even a dolphin.

Our trip home didn’t go as planned at all. From cancellations to delays, it took 38 hours to get back. But we learned a few important lessons along the way.

A guest post from Lauren’s mom, sharing her perspective on life aboard Nanook—from cold New England to the Exumas, and a week of adventure, family, and life on the water.

A quick trip back to Vermont meant snow, skiing, races, and time with friends and family. Plus a cold shock after the Bahamas and a return to life on skis!

Back in Staniel Cay after a windy stretch. Provisioning, exploring, and celebrating Theo’s 9th birthday with French toast, a surprise dinghy dance party, and a full day of adventure.

A strong norther moved through, bringing shifting winds and gusts over 50 knots reported. We repositioned to a protected anchorage, prepared the boat, and rode out the conditions. The boys stood their first anchor watch, with Ben taking the first solo shift.

Coconut Club, Monument hikes, grocery trips, school/art, beach and dingy adventures.

We’re a little behind on posting, so here’s a photo dump to catch you up. Pig Beach, Thunderball Grotto, Chat ’N’ Chill, rays, conch salad, and all the good stuff. More stories coming soon!

A truly magical spot. We packed in a lot during our short, day and a half stop. We hiked up Boo-Boo hill. Explored the sand bars and various beaches. Saw lots of cool creatures. We are excited to stop on our way back north and do some snorkeling and more exploring.

A quick stop at Highbourne Cay for a yummy lunch, nurse shark sightings, foil surfing and enjoying the bathtub like waters.

Ben writes about one of his favorite activities since being in the Bahamas.

Photos from our journey south from Man-O-War to Spanish Wells.

Snorkel adventures, roller skiing Queen’s Highway, opti sailing, yummy dinners, and everything in between. A photo compilation of the second half of our stay in Man-O-War.

Christmas aboard Nanook was spent with friends in the Abacos, with Christmas Eve dinner on the boat, presents Christmas morning, Mass in Man-O-War, and a beach day at Tahiti Beach before sharing dinner together in the harbor.

Our first week in the Bahamas. Our journey from West end to Man-O-War. Time with friends and blue water that has us in total awe!

A look at last preparations to head to the Bahamas.
