Casstaway

On Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022, Casstaway said goodbye to buddy-boaters EWWE2 and Ellen Ruth, who are headed north in preparation for their crossings back to Florida, and Dawn Treader, who is off to explore other cays, and continued to make our way south with Holokai. Departing Black Point at 10:00am, it was a short motor to reach our first stop at Oven Rock by noon. After lunch, we went...

After saying goodbye to our friends on Navigant (who are heading back to the US), on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, four of our ships - Casstaway, EWWE2, Ellen Ruth, and Holokai, made a short motor sail from Big Majors Spot to Black Point, the only settlement on Great Guana Cay and the second most populated in the Exumas after Georgetown. Black Point is one of Casstaway's favorite haunts from our...

Lots of other vessels were like-minded in their decision to chose Big Majors to wait out weather, so we are joined by around 50 other boats.

We departed Shroud Cay on Tuesday, April 5, 2022 to make a very windy crossing to Warderick Wells, a favorite spot from our Bahamas travels of 2019. Winds built from 12 knots to 17 sustained, with gusts to 21. Very sporty! We were tired pups by the time we hooked our assigned mooring ball 14 in the Emerald field which happily, was right next to our good friends and former 2019 buddy boaters,...

Saturday, April 2, 2022 is a warm, sunny day, with winds from the Southeast around 10 knots. We are four ships under sail as we make our way from Highborne Cay to our next anchorage at Shroud Cay. Not a fast ride, but very comfortable, as we finish our coffee with a little smooth jazz accompanying the wind and the waves. We arrive at Shroud to find friends from Regatta Point Marina, Eric and...
