Steve turned off the tractor for an afternoon to talk about building the very first pair of Kindred skis. Steve is a skilled storyteller. He seems to know exactly when to pause, when to exaggerate, and exactly when to tell a joke. This ability to draw people in and make them laugh is especially useful in the hospitality industry. You see, Steve and his wife Carolyn run Two Eagles Lodge Bed and Breakfast just South of us in Union Bay. Like many home-based-businesses owners, this couple does it all. Carolyn masterfully orchestrates the business and is logistics manager of the steady rotation of guests while Steve is maintenance man and groundskeeper. When it comes to guest experiences this is where Steve’s hospitable nature and gift for storytelling shines. Who doesn’t want a host who keeps the mood light, and primes you for making memories by recalling his own adventures? If you need more proof of what us locals already know: that you’d be wise to stay at Two Eagles (once things get back to normal...) check out the miles-long list of accolades on their website. From fresh eggs at breakfast, to sharing local’s knowledge about places to explore, to evenings spent on the ocean-view porch around a crackling fire punctuated by Steve’s stories - these guys make their guests feel truly at home, and have awards to prove it. We’re really thankful for the support Steve has shown our business, from commissioning that first pair of skis to volunteering his time and equipment to help us move our workshop twice over the past 10 years! We're fortunate to have him skiing around on his Kindreds knowing he tells their story - with grinning enthusiasm - to anyone who asks.

Experience a vibrant celebration of tradition and culture in the highlands of Alor. This dance is a glimpse into the living heritage found across the Lesser Sunda Islands, where ancient customs and modern life intertwine. The rings worn on the feet during traditional dances is made of metal or bronze and is known as a leg ring or anklet. It serves both a musical and symbolic purpose. 1. Rhythmic Sound These metal anklets create a percussive rhythm with each step, adding a rich layer of sound to the performance. They act as natural instruments, keeping time with the music and enhancing the intensity of the dance. 2. Cultural Meaning Wearing these rings is a symbol of connection to tradition and the land. The weight and sound reflect endurance, unity, and the importance of honoring ancestral heritage. 3. Ceremonial Use Typically worn during warrior or ceremonial dances, the rings are part of attire used to welcome guests, celebrate identity, or mark important events. They are both decorative and deeply meaningful. Curious to experience these traditions firsthand? Join one of our immersive journeys across the Lesser Sunda Islands and Alor, where cultural connection, natural beauty, and purposeful travel come together. #CulturalDance #TraditionalDance #FolkDance #WorldCulture #HeritageTravel #CulturalExperience #TravelEurope #TravelUSA #CulturalJourney #EthnicDance #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #AdventureTravel #CulturalHeritage #TravelWithPurpose #ExploreTheWorld #GlobalCulture #AuthenticTravel #SlowTravel #MeaningfulTravel

Once again, we are reminded why schedules are a sailors worse enemy. While we wanted to show our friends Shroud Cay, we decided to head south from Warderick Wells to get at least one day of good sailing before the winds shifted. Had we not, we would have had at least one more day of motoring with the winds and the waves on the nose. Rather than head out in the sound, where we were expecting worse conditions, we decided to stay on the Bahamas Bank side. Yes, it would be a longer distance, but we wanted to see the West Side of Great Exuma Island. We had a great night at Little Farmers Cay. Were able to pick up three huge lobster tails from a local fisherman on the last day of the season. Then we head on over to Ty's for a bonfire at sunset. We got a great nights sleep but needed to weigh anchor early to make our way to about 1/2 of the distance to Hog Cay Cut. We anchored on the southwest side of Coakley Cay (Flamingo Cay) at the end of a "tongue" of deep water. All of the charts showed something different for this region. We spun around at anchor all night despite winds in the 15kn range. The current must have been pretty strong there, something we had not expected. Suffice it to say, I didn't get much sleep due to being woken by the bridle on the bob stays. HJog Cay is a shallow cut on the south side of Little Exuma Island needs to be taken at high tide. We woke at 6am and intended to weigh anchor at 6:30. We're glad we started earlier than this because the bridle had somehow gotten caught underneath the starboard hull...very weird.
