Conception Island – Columbus
Historians argue that Conception Island is the site of Columbus’ second landfall in the new world. Theories abound on just where Columbus first saw the New World, but there seems to be agreement that it was the Bahamas. We can only wonder how the isl…
Black Point
Tuesday dawned with some relief from the winds which had moderated overnight. We made a dinghy run to Staniel to top off the dinghy fuel and fill the spare tank ($5.45/gal) and drop off the trash, then returned to the boat and got underway for Black Po…
