Living on a Sailboat exploring the world
We are in Provo, Turks and Caicos for a few more days, hanging out and getting ready for our next big jump. While we are here, we’re exploring our surroundings and taking down time on the South Side.
We moved from the north side, Turtle Cove, to the south side, Sapodilla Bay, on Friday. Though only a 30 minute car ride from here to there, the sail took most of a day.
Last Friday we departed from the southeastern end of the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. After Long Island, we sailed to Crooked and Acklins Islands, followed by Mayaguana. From there, we tacked to the upper reaches of Turks and Caicos. We are no longer there but we will always remember our Bahamas favorites.
We spent more time in the Bahamas than expected, and we would have preferred a longer stay. There are still so many islands we didn’t visit. Here’s a look back on our favorite Bahamas memories.

Remember we had a few troubles and needed a day off? It seems that wasn’t enough because the hits keep coming. Basically one day off wasn’t enough for us or Sava.
We took Saturday afternoon to explore part of Long Island. The dinghy ride to the marina was short and slightly wet. Once there I had to dive into the water a few times to recover my hat and Brian’s sunglasses. Strong wind!
Our dinghy was running out of propane so we needed to get some. The propane supplier takes Saturdays off but said if we came to him he would fill our tank. He was a 25 minute drive away. We could take a taxi but it seemed worth it to rent a car.
