Impromptu Nordhavn Photo Shoot in the Exuma Islands, Bahamas

The dawn on Sunday, March 23 was stunning

The day that we’d arrived in Elizabeth Harbour, we’d mentioned that there were several Nordhavns in the anchorage. Since then, several more had arrived. With so many Nordhavns in one place, one of the owners, John from Dragon, convinced Nordhavn to do a PR/marketing video of all the boats moving together in formation. The bribe for owners to participate in this video was that Nordhavn would host a happy hour afterwards. We eagerly agreed to participate. 

The day before, John had taken shots of all the Nordhavns at anchor. Here was Kosmos.

This week has been really fun. On Saturday we went to the town here, George Town. We ate lunch and picked up some cheese from the store. The ride to George Town was super wavy, and we got totally soaked.

Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi on a visité le village d’à côté, George Town. On a mangé le déjeuner et acheté du fromage. Le voyage à George Town avait beaucoup de vagues, et nous étions trempés.

Snorkeling in Elizabeth Harbour, Exuma Islands, Bahamas

Friday, March 21 — The Nordhavn 68 in this photo was named Stella Luna, and we got this great shot of her under the brightly glowing, half-full luna at dawn.

Like yesterday, the wind was low and the bay was calm, so after we finished school and chores, we headed out to go snorkeling with some other families. Our rendezvous spot was at the southwestern tip of Stocking island.

As we had briefly mentioned back in December, we (relatively) recently upgraded our dinghy. We’d had a Gig Harbor hard shell sailing/rowing dinghy with a Torqueedo 503 electric motor with 1.5 horsepower. We also had 50-watt solar panels to charge the motor when we had it out, which were made by Torqueedo. We were very happy with those solar panels.

On Thursday, March 20, the moon was still shining vividly at dawn

Sunrise

After we’d finished our morning chores/school, we went to Sand Dollar Beach for a birthday party. The birthday boy was turning nine. We’d never met him, but they’d announced on the morning radio net that everyone was invited. We figured that this would be a great opportunity to meet some other families.

Sand Dollar beach started on the Elizabeth Harbour side of the Kahari Resort (the resort we’d seen yesterday at the end of the little inlet). Here is a shot of the resort

The moon was only 2/3 full, but still looking huge and vibrant during dawn on Wednesday, March 19

Since it was kind of hard to explain the geography of this area, we figured the path of least resistance would be to post a picture of the chart so that it is possible follow what we are talking about. The red blob was Chat N Chill beach.

Today we got lunch onshore at a restaurant called The Snappy Turtle in the St. Francis Resort and Marina, which was located at the blue blob in the chart above.
