After 6 weeks of beautiful Bahamas weather, our first guests arrive just in time for the worst weather we'd seen in the Bahamas since our arrival late in December. Andrew's sister and family pulled up on the dinghy soaking wet from head to toe, but all smiles with excitement for their adventures on the water. Dark clouds rolled in, bringing in rain, wind, and waves, which was projected to last several days. While we were disappointed in this forecast, our guests were content to be skipping some of the cold Labrador winter in February. We were stuck on the boat for 4 out of the 9 days they had with us. We kept ourselves entertained with things like endless games of UNO, goldfish, coloring, and Youtube Kids (thank you starlink!!!!). Once the weather started to let up, we pointed south to Long Cay, one of our favorite stops in the exumas. We were excited to share this location with family as it has one of the best beaches to bring kids. Beautiful clear, shallow, blue water and lots of sea life to keep everyone entertained. After some excellent beach and sea time in Long Cay, we moved north to Allen's Cay to see the Iguanas before having to head back to Nassau to catch flights home. Allen's Cay and the sail back to Nassau were a perfect ending to this trip. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any fish, but the young fisherladies were excited about the impressive clumps of seaweed we caught 🤣. Through the tears, tantrums, laughter, and sunburns, I think everyone had a great time, and we are so happy we could share some of our Bahamas adventure with them. Cheers to Aimee, John, Bea, Maggie, and little pirate Alexandra! We can't wait to see you all again ❤️

Cheers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Keeper's beautiful First Mate Megan!! 🎂 🎈 🥳

Freddy and I (Andrew) are so lucky and happy to have Megan in our lives and are especially grateful for her on her big day. Thank you for everything you do everyday and I hope you can relax and enjoy your birthday on Keeper, even if we are broke down 😅.

For looking super cool on benches, for hanging upside down like a pro, for taking shifts at the helm and for being an incredible pitbull mama: we love you - never change, my chicken ❤️. Here's to another year! 🥂 🍻

Wow, it's been some time since we've posted! We last mentioned we were setting our sails north, back to Nassau, to pick up some guests who were flying in from Canada. We made the trek over the following 3 days, stopping first in Norman's Cay for protection from some forcasted high winds. After dropping the anchor, we decided the anchorage felt a little too crowded, so we pulled it back up and moved around to another nearby anchorage called Boots Cay. While this anchorage was more exposed for the incoming weather, we felt much better having more space and were treated to a beautiful sunset. We stayed two nights while the weather passed over, and then we made a short hop back up to Allen's Cay. We had previously stopped here but did not get to go to shore due to the conditions of the water. We wanted to scope this place out as a potential spot to bring our guests as this is where you can feed iguanas. We had a lot of fun checking out these dinosaur-like creatures and the beautiful beaches in the area and put it on the list to come back. The next morning, we set off toward Nassau, where we would spend the next few days making space for our incoming guests: Andrew's sister, her husband, and 3 young daughters. That's right, Keeper was about to gain 5 extra crew for 9 days!

Cheers!

We decided to continue south with a few buddy boats before we started our treck back to Nassau. Our planned route had us returning to Nassau to pick up some guests who were coming in from Canada for a visit! We dropped the anchor in Little Farmers Cay where we would hang out for a couple days, choosing to spend most of our time in the water. My underwater camera simply does not do this water justice. It was so incredibly clear and the coral was full of life. I love to bob around the surface just watching the fish do their thing while Andrew looks for some supper 😅 We also ventured to land and hiked to Gemstone Cave! The hike provided beautiful views overlooking the east and west side of the island where we were anchored. Inside of the hilltop cave we discovered some cyrstal clear fresh water full of little shrimps! They were swimming around in their protected little pond, seemingly oblivous to the world around them. They weren't alone in the cave, though, as it was also home to many little bats!🦇🧛‍♂️

When our time was in Little Farmers Cay was up, we said farewell to our friends, knowing we would meet up again in about a month. Then, we turned Keepers bow north!

Cheers!

Did I mention we loved Black Point? Here's some more moments captured from our time there 😁⚓️🍻

Our next stop in the exumas was Black Point Settlement. What an absolute gem of a place! The bay is wide open for easy anchoring with tons of room for everyone. This small town had the best vibe and we felt truly welcome visiting here. So welcome, we ended up staying here for 10 days! We visited a small blow hole, explored the town, swam/fished, lazed around the beach, joined friends for a few happy hours, and enjoyed amazing coconut bread made fresh daily by a local lady known to all as "Loraine's Mom". We had a great time here with friends and will forever look back on this place with fond memories.

Cheers!

We left the parks and headed further south in the exumas to join some friends in Thomas Cay. Filled with absolutely breath taking scenery and incredible waters this anchorage offered great protection from all directions. It was an easy spot to spend a few days with friends. One of our favorite spots so far! 🤿🐠🐡🐟🦞🐢🏖

Cheers!

From Long Cay we headed into the Exumas Land & Sea Park. This park covers 112,640 acres of land and sea and is the first marine reserve in the Bahamas established in 1958. We tucked into Soldier Cay Anchorage next to an island previously known as Johnny Depp's Island! (Rumoured to now be owned by J.K. Rowling). We waited for some weather to pass here before we checked out the beautiful "Aquarium" close by. This is a popular dive spot to view incredible sea life. Since it is prohibited to fish here, many of the fish will eat right out of your hands! Upon jumping into the water you're met face to face with tons of fish in crystal clear waters. It was quite the experience!

Cheers!

After Nassau we continued south to explore the beautiful islands of the Exumas. This chain of 365 islands is known for it's stunning sapphire-blue waters and world famous swimming pigs 🐖. Of all Bahamas has to offer, I think I was most excited to snorkle in the Exumas. Our first stop brought us to Allan's Cay where, unfortunately, we didn't get off the boat to explore the nearby beach as the water was a little too rough to lower the dinghy and engine. It's a shame because the beach is supposedly filled with large iguanas which would make for quite the experience! We didn't sleep well in the rolly anchorage and decided early the next morning to continue on to Long Cay with hopes for calmer waters. It did not disappoint! The conditions were more calm and that water more beautiful than any other water we'd seen. The water temperature was optimal for swimming and was full of stingrays, fish, and lots and lots of conch. A little paradise 😁🐚☀️🏖

Cheers!
