Join us on a spirited sailing adventure from Ragged Island to George Town, Bahamas on a Nautitech 46 Open catamaran. We had an awesome week down in the Raggeds. We had East winds for the entire week, allowing for some pretty fun sailing....for all but the last day when we sailed to Flamingo Cay to the south side of Hog Cut. It's important to pay attention to how the Raggeds bend to the east! We didn't and ended up needing to tack up to Hog Cut....best to make the trip if the winds are greater than 110º or more. #sailinglife #catamaransailing #nautitech46open

We've finally made it to the Exumas. We left Morgans Bluff and made our way 78nm to Normans Cay in about 14 hours. The first 8 hours we motored but then the wind started to cooperate and we sailed the rest of the way from essentially the east-end of New Providence down to Normans Cay.

After a month in Key West, we finally thought we had a 48 hour crossing window to make it to Morgans Bluff. We were wrong...or rather, the forecasts continuously changed -- for the worse. Not unsafe, but just VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. This was not the Gulf Stream Crossing we had last year.

Loving the small boats sailing around Garrison Bight in Key West as we eagerly await our weather window to head over to The Bahamas.

The Wildest New Year's Eve Party I've been too. This is Key West during New Years Eve. We were amazed at the amount of people in Key West. We chose to support the LGTBQ+ community and reserve our spot on the balcony to watch the famous Red Shoe Drop. #shorts #boatlife #boating #keywest #liveaboardlife
