The Pearl and Buccaneer: January 2015

The Pearl (Jennifer)

Happy New Year!

Greetings from Black Point, Great Guana Cay, Exumas! Kluane and crew are doing well.

We arrived in the Bahamas after a 2 day/2 nigh overnight sail across the gulf stream and Bahama banks. The first night of the crossing we had a full moon (think daylight at night — AMAZING) and the second night was a bit more boisterous. We recovered at Royal Island at the top of Eleuthera. I was giddy with excitement as we approached land! It took no time for us to pull Foster (dingy) and get the motor on to start exploring! From there we have been to Spanish Wells (read AWESOME 1960 style grocery), Allen’s Cay (curious and hungry iguana’s), Hawksbill Cay (best beach ever), Pipe Cay (amazing water), Rocky Dundas (incredible protected

reef) and Staniel Cay (mega yachts and pigs).

We spent Christmas Eve with our new friends on Different Drummer for a fabulous meal and marvelous company. We also witnessed the mega yacht mayhem for New Year’s Eve in Staniel Cay. We saw spectacular fireworks off Fowl Cay!

I choose a few photos to get you all up to speed on all the exploring we have been doing! Our trusty dingy has taken us to many beautiful spots. Buccaneer is becoming quite the fisherman and I am becoming quite the scout. We are exploring by land and by sea.

We hope you enjoy the photos!
