Summer 2003 Bahamas, Wow what a great time to cruise the Islands, We left Norfolk VA. May 30, Arrived west end June 21. Went thru all of the abacos, eluthra, cat island, crossed to George town Exumas and worked our way north crossed to Frescreek Andros , went to Morgans Bluff, Crossed to Bimini, Got Lobsters there, Went back to Fla August 1. went back north and stopped at Myrtle Beach left boat there till Oct. and brought it home to GreatBridge for some repairs. We had lots of people say we were foolish for going there in the summer, but if you watch the weather and be smart it is much better than winter. Not so crowded and not as hot os I feared. Nice breeze blowing 10 to 15 out of SE most of the time and we only hit 2 or 3 squals, blowing 40 to 70 MPH for a few minutes. Exumas are beautiful. You must have a good dingy to explore the areas. not a silly inflatable. We had one of these and also a 17 Boston whaler so we could really explore.
