Hopetown
Saturday March 19, 2011
On our second day at Man-O-War we decided to rent a small 20 foot boat to take the short run over to Hopetown. It was a fun 4 mile ride to the small harbor there. We rented a couple of golf carts and had a…
Man-O-War Cay
(Friday March 18 – Dist: 21.9 mi; Avg Speed: 5.6 mph; TTT: 3:30 hrs)

Spanish Cay
(Sunday March 6 – Dist: 98.7 mi; Avg Speed: 10.8 mph; TTT: 9:00 hrs)
Our flotilla of 8 boats left Old Bahama Bay at the break of day in order to complete the 100 mile leg that we had agreed upon. This decision was mainly brought about by the na…
Grand Bahama Island
(March 1 – 6)
Life is good here. The town of West End is only about 1.5 miles from the marina and is quite an eye opener. Discarded conch shells line the water front through out town; thousands of shells just dumped on the edge of the road …
