The first few days at sea!
... ; Greetings from the SEA! I cannot explain to you how happy I was when I saw the pearly white MV Explorer docked in the Bahamas. After two canceled flights and changing my airlines three times, I truly did not know if I was going to make it to ...

All at Sea

Work day so to speak
Off to work today. I head to the lounge and have some breakfast. Things are a bit different here. They use condensed milk for cream. That is a taste you must have to acquire. They also must think that marinating cantelope in grapefruit juice is good ...

Finding space
... Still no internet and we are thinking of getting a refund and going to Florida early if we can't find a high speed connection. The Bahamas doesn't really agree with us. It just doesn't have the infrastructure we need. Jim is way behind on invoicing and ...
A MUFFIN STORY

At Sea
We were at sea today and we had agreed to let the girls sleep in again. I woke up at 7 and went out to read. I finished my book and while I was reading Nikki came out. Scott and Cheryl had filmed the Panama Canal Crossing and Scott made ...
Princess Cays
There wasn't much reason for this stop--it is a lovely beach, we tendered to it for a few hours, had a picnic lunch in the cabana, then rode back to the ship. The water was too cold to go in (it's not that we're sissies, no one went in). There isn't ...
Cruising in the Caribbean
TRYING TO NOT GET KICKED OUT OF ATLANTIS While in the Bahamas, I didn't focus on any of the typical ocean activities like snorkeling or fishing, I didn't even see the beach! Instead, I just had to satisfy my curiosity of the world famous ...

rockin' and rollin'!!!
... We left the miami port to avoid dock fees, but we haven't been told yet why we're not sailing. )Probably because we're not due in Nassau yet, and they're trying to avoid other dock fees -- that just came to me) I thought it was because we had to have a ...
Bahama-bah
... sorry and headed back out to deeper water. We then decided that since we couldn't tell the depth reliably and since the Bahamas Islands are coral-strewn, shallow-watered bits of land, we needed to either bypass them altogether or be very careful picking ...
who runs the bahamas? barack OBAHAMA haha
... WELL. it wasnt even worth trying the sleep on the flight because it was only 55mins long, but i slept anyway :P then we got the bahamas and got a taxi to our hotel, the HILTON. and we managed to check in at 9:30am. obviously not very busy this week, not ...
Another day in paradise.....
... other for the food. Yes, we heard the news before we left on our cruise about someone being bitten by a shark in the Bahamas. That's why it's very important to follow the staff instructions: " Hold onto the rope and stay within the group". The ...
Bahama Mama

Mis-Adventures of Spindrift - Nassau to Norman
... pleasant.....should have known it wouldn't last! It would seem this log is more about the mis-adventures of S/V Spindrift as opposed to Bahamas Bound! Unless we're tied up in a slip, we seem to find our way into difficult situations. At ...
Small Town Explorations
... He spoke English pretty well, but I was thinking to myself of all the places to be treated by a Chinese doctor the middle of the Bahamas was not it. After sitting up on the exam table came the worst pain of my life. The nice, friendly, all smiles doctor ...

Exumas Tour
... the night, but everything seems to amplify when darkness takes over. We must have seen twenty cruise liners leaving the Nassau area, almost in a huge lighted parade, with some cargo ships here and there. We had learned the lesson of preparing ...
Day before Spain!
