Jib up for a nice motor downwind sail in 15kn with biiig swell, surfing down the waves all the way! Anchored in a pretty bay on the north side with clear sandy water and two little beaches. A good place to hide out the next two nights of 30+kn 🙃 off to work and snorkel!

Quick motor to the next island north, first time to Children’s Bay Cay! Currently anchored in a pretty bay with a sandy beach and palm trees - it was too hard to pass!

We reprovisioned in Georgetown and had a relaxing night before the storm. Motored to Moriah Cay National Park and Red Shank Mooring Field where we picked up our first ever solo mooring ball! We explored an overgrown trail up and over to the outside beach which Andrew and I cleared out with a machete. Then left Willow for two nights and stayed on land with Wyatt and Charlotte for a 35 to 45 knot storm. Had a great time exploring the land via car and wyatt’s whaler and enjoyed our time with Wyatt and Charlotte! Went out to dinner at blue on the water.

An overcast day with Tessa and Al. We dinghied to great exuma point and walked on a beautiful sandbar then moved Willow to Black rock cay while Tessa and Al paddle boarded there and met us. Walked up to explore an old ruin and had a beautiful sunset on board for the night.

12-15knot downwind sail! Was a little slow but we enjoyed the ride. We stopped at pig island then moved down to glass cay. Beautiful sunset!

We had a really fun night with Al Tessa Wyatt and Charlotte. Surf and Turf dinner with two steaks and three lobsters! Had a 10knot downwind sail than dropped the sails and stopped Willow at the top of stocking island in 60ft of water and we all jumped in for a quick snorkel/freediving session. Swam to 64 feet underwater and Al and Sophie both got good depth too. Next we went snorkeling around lily cay and the two small rocks further north. We saw two reef sharks and Al caught a lobster for an appetizer 😋. Saw some grouper but nothing big enough to spear. The day was not over yet, we went to da sand bar, got a drink and walked over to the other side of stocking island and went on a 2+ mile beach walk. Super long super fun day!
