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.

Theo’s newest post talks all about the ways that boat life is different from land life! Follow along to hopefully earn something new!

What started as a simple travel day turned into one of our most memorable yet. Dockside goodbyes, a bald eagle sighting, dolphins and manatees, and a front-row view of a Falcon 9 launch at anchor.

We made the 120nm run to Cumberland Island on a friend’s recommendation and found a place unlike anywhere else. Feral horses, untouched beaches, and a history that runs deeper than the dunes. Two quiet days here were the perfect reset before continuing south.

A quick stop in Savannah after our thanksgiving feast gave us time to explore the city, visit the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, enjoy some amazing food and finally decorate the boat for Christmas. This post is a photo dump from those days.

Ben gives the run down on Thanksgiving in Savannah.

In this post, Adam reflects on our time in Charleston. Where history, conversation, great friends and quiet moments left a lasting mark.

Our first ICW stop in tiny Coinjock came with some famous prime rib, weather delays and some history. Follow Theo on an adventure down the ICW.

Theo gives a first hand account of the first lock and the first twin bascule bridge of the trip. He also clears up some confusion we had on the real purpose of the lock!

A cold start, a leaking coolant hose, Christmas lights on a battleship, and our first miles on the ICW

Cruising isn’t just the pretty Instagram moments. As we make our way south, we’re realizing this journey is equal parts beautiful and chaotic. Early mornings, tight spaces, schoolwork battles, brother scuffles, and plenty of growing pains. It’s not always easy, but it’s honest, and it’s slowly shaping us into a stronger, more connected little crew.

The boys have been doing an amazing job writing posts, but keeping up in real time is no small task. So I’m hopping in with a quick catch-up—both for everyone following along and for our own memory bank. From the bumpy, “nuucking windy” run to Cape May to our sweet stretch in Annapolis and a whirlwind trip to DC, here’s a little look at what life has been like since we pulled away from NYC and kept heading south.

Come experience life on Nanook through the eyes of our resident 8-year-old explorer! In this video, Theo takes you on a full tour of our 50’ Ocean Alexander trawler. The boat that will be our home all the way from Newport to the Bahamas.
