another 'small' boat in the Bahamas...

[Brian]

...by the way, for those of you who often think that their 23 foot boat is too small for a trip to the bahamas, here is a gentleman sailor who did it for an extended cruise back in 2002-2003. I think that the original site was taken down a while back, but someone is attempting to revive his log of the trip and post it here:

clarification...

The original "Log of the SV Prana" site was taken down about 2 years ago... It was a fantastic photo-journal that spanned a 7 month trek in a Beneteau 235 to the Bahamas. Thomas cruised it with his Husky named Kiva, and together they sailed through much of the islands there. The link that I posted is only to a snippet of the original log... I do not know where to go to see the original, but I believe that a few of the sailing rags (magazines) may have a few articles about him, so one might do a "google" search to find out more about him and that trip. He proved to me when I read his log that one CAN go cruising full time, given the right amount of fortitude, in a 'small boat'. Thomas was MY original inspiration when I was only dreaming about sailing to the Bahamas in Empty Pocket...

Text-only version of SV Prava logs

I found the original web site in the 'archives'. Not many photos left, but the text of the journey persists.See link below:

Hey Dave....

I have to admit that the Beneteau 235 is just about the only other small boat that I'd trade for my H23. Click on link below for some photos.PeterH23 "Raven"
