Christi, Eric, and Keith took Kosmos on an eight month trip to the Sea of Cortez from July 2022 to March 2023 (about 130 posts). Keith did updates in both English and French.

On Saturday, we were still in Palm Cay marina. Dad and I changed the engine oil, then we ate some food at the marina restaurant. 

Samedi on était encore au Plam Cay marina. Papa et moi avons changé l’huile du moteur et nous avons mangé de la nourriture au restaurant de la marina.

This week has been very fun. On Saturday, we didn’t do much, we drove around in the dinghy. On Sunday, we didn’t do anything. On Monday morning, we went to the city of Nassau. The drive there was scary. There were a bunch of people who didn’t follow any of the boating rules. We stayed at a resort/waterpark called Atlantis with a little marina. The rest of Monday was at the water park. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday going to the water park.

Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi on n’a pas fait beaucoup de choses, on s’est promené en radeau. Dimanche on n’a rien fait. Lundi matin nous nous sommes déplacés à la ville de Nassau. La route était effrayante. Il y avait beaucoup de personnes qui ne respectaient pas toutes les règles de conduite de bateau. On est resté au resort / parc aquatique qui s’appelle Atlantis, qui avait une petite marina. Le reste du Lundi on a joué au parc aquatique. Mardi et Mercredi on a joué au parc aquatique.

Continued… When Christi and Keith returned to the dinghy dock, they saw that Kosmopolitan wasn’t there. They walked out to the southwest edge of the marina to watch for Eric’s arrival. Looking north, we could see the marina, the little shallow bay next to it, and the sea wall that separates them. The marina was clearly a dredged portion of the little bay.

Looking south, we could see that the beach on between Xuma’s and this point was lined with chairs.

Sunrise on Sunday, May 11, 2025

Last night, we’d gotten a text from a fellow cruiser letting us know that the little market at Highbourne Cay Resort and Marina, which was a little north of Shroud Cay, had eggs in stock. We’d decided to move to Highbourne Cay this morning so we could buy some eggs. We really wanted to have eggs onboard because we were planning to leave on a passage from the Bahamas to Florida tomorrow (Monday). Eggs were a great passage food as they were easy to cook and digest.

We were up early and got the boat ready to go. We pulled up anchor at 0700, which was high tide. We had intended to follow the same track out of the anchorage as we’d taken in, but a boat was anchored in the middle of our track. We had to go into shallow water to get around it. We only had ½ foot of water under us, so had it been slack or low tide, we would have been stuck inside the anchorage until the tide rose.
