The Exumas - Long Island
February 27 - April 11, 2023
Winter in the Bahamas is unquestionably the windy season. But in an extraordinarily rare weather pattern, the winds quieted to a whisper for days, holding their breath in awe at the exquisite Exuma doldrums.

Our cruise this season was cut short at both ends.When we discovered a leak
in a large through-hull, we scurried to George Town to find some type of sealant. |
 |
Our friends, Pete and Liz, on Manitou were anchored at George Town.
They kindly provided some StayAfloat, which did as promised but didn't completely solve the problem.
Time for a quick turn-around and repair at Oasis Boatyard in St. Augustine. We kept the flat side up and the pointy side down, connected with special people, and experienced some of the best cruising highlights. A successful season by any definition.
