Kerm here,
For those that look at us on SPOT we are indeed in Exuma Park in a VERY narrow channel on a mooring ball. Way so cool. Current is something but you could swim to shore in 3 strokes. Wow.
I'm sure Chris will have pictures as this was very, very high on her bucket list as it should be for anyone that knows spit about the Exumas.
Anyway, for the guys ? that are keeping with me on the battery saga, the engine would not start today when we were trying to leave Shroud Cay. No poop in the batteries. # 3 is offline, #2 was my default starting battery and even #3 couldn't get the they old Brit diesel to start. Generator (Riley) was needed to fill in for a bit of power. None of the gauges read right on our way here and after a few hours of cruising they were still in the 12's.
Here it is folks. I was using the very nice digital inverter control panel to look at voltages and at this point I believe the inverter ic's were confusing the AC charger AND the alternator ic's. At the end of today's cruise the batteries only registered in the 12's and only showed charging in the near 13's. I took the inverter off line and started the engine and yea, the engine started to charge at the good old 14.2. So, I hooked up #1 to a portable battery charger and in the morning I will again make it the main engine battery and see what happens. Low amps and voltage kills a starter and Joe senior told me many of time to bring a spare. Dang, I wish I would have listened to him.

Chris here
I have not been blogging recently and there are a million excuses but I wanted to get on quick while we are here at Highborne and have internet access.
Despite Kerm's wailing and angsty posts we are doing great. We have food, water and a battery to start the motor...all the rest is incidental. We anchored out at Norman's Cay for a long stretch and were able to maintain power very nicely thanks to 'Riley'. Riley is the new name for our generator, named after Joe Riley at Windmill Marina who bothered Kerm all summer long about getting one installed. Thanks, Joe Riley and Joe Hauser and Joe Hauser Jr. all without whom we would be generator-less.
We came to Highborne Cay Marina so we could get the satellite phone/email connection sorted out. We need that for receiving weather information from Chris Parker, the weather guru for the Bahamas. A long hot shower was also very wonderful. The sat shone is also good to have for emergency contacts from home.

O'boy, where do I start
So, the last time I put something on the blog it was Bimini. And that happened to be the last time we had connection to a computer connection. The sat phone connection is still buggered up so to stay in contact with everyone we had to stay at Highborne Marina tonight. Money.
So many things have happened over the last few days that I will give you a Readers Digest version and then let's just see how it goes.
We left Bimini with our buddy boat Meandering and anchored on the 'banks' which is in the middle of nowhere. Miles and miles from any shore but off the beaten path enough that ships would not run over us. A flotilla of sail boats were right behind us and they seemed to be a bit unsure where they were going to anchor for the night so I gave them our lat /long and they ended up staying in our area. Even if we are in the middle of nowhere if there are others in the area I sleep like a baby.
So, then on to Nassau or as Chris and Linda call it Nass sewer. I didn't leave the dock.
Next day off to Normans Cay. Our buddy boat decided to do some provisioning so we went it alone. The direct route is over the Yellow Bank. I hate the Yellow Bank. Coral heads everywhere. A minefield of the damn things. When you navigate thru these things the sun should be behind you so you can see them but we did it with the sun on our nose. I hate the Yellow Bank. Coral heads everywhere. But, I needed to confront my fears... nah, that wasn't it, what a bunch of crap, I wanted to get to Normans as fast as we could.
So then, Normans. I picked an anchoring area near where we had been before and could not get a hold. Weeds. The next spot we got a nice hold but the current and rollers from a storm coming in from the tongue rolled us around like a twig in a stream. We stayed a night and moved to a new spot as a stronger storm from a different direction was coming and in my eye would have put us too close to shore. I chose poorly again. Again. Wind, current, the storm and a small ship nearby kept me awake all night. The Belle's anchor set and reset as we rotated through the night. Thank goodness for a good book to keep me company as we traveled in our anchor route. We then stayed another 3 nights in the same place. Why we didn't move to a different place, I don't know, perhaps with a great hook up like this I thought the ship should not be a concern. We then traveled 8 miles around and around plus up and down according to the GPS. Picture below is the GPS view from our path. PATHS.
Normans. Normans has not had anything going for it since the 60 to 80's's or earlier. Last time we where there there were a lot of ruins especially from the drug days. But there was a bar / cafe that had great burgers and drinks but no beer as the owners / bartenders had the taste. Anyway, this year we showed up and the island was a beehive of activity. Here's the deal. Some billionaires bought a big chunk of the island and are putting their money where their mouth is. Extending the runway, widening the runway for JETS, turning the lake into a deep draft marina, hotel and restaurant on the east side, bla, bla, bla. I don't know...
OK, so we went to the bar / restaurant (the one that didn't have beer a couple of years ago) and it was closed. Still no beer. It was being renovated but a guy showed up at the screen door and answered our 21 questions on what was going on. He was an exec chef for one of the principals and was shanghaied from Miami to clean up the existing saloon. Great guy. Luke. Still no beer.
Anyway the next day we heard over the radio that the very closed McDuffs on Normans would open for cruisers one night only. Somebody talked Luke into firing up the grill and do you know what. Luke had burgers and, and beer. Life is good.
So today Chris spent most of the day getting the sat phone / e mail thingie working here on the very expensive Highborne Cay.
Yesterday, snorkeling for Linda and Chris, looking for sand dollars on an east beach for the bunch of us, sunblock, #1 battery took a dump, 115 V battery charger taking a dump, #3 battery crabby. And I suspect the new refrigerator is giving up the ghost. God I love it here.
Pictures. You cannot put the Bahamas on pictures that would do it justice. People maybe but the colors, seeing 40 feet down, the fish, nope, you gotta spend the money to get you butt down here.

Bimini
Kerm here,
I like Bimini and am sorta glad we will be stuck for a few days. It gives us a chance to unwind a bit and transition into Bahamas time. Relax, let it go, it can be done tomorrow or not at all. Let's go to the beach. I'm sure Chris will snap some pictures and report her tourist findings at some point. Bahamas time, remember.
At some point Ruby aboard Misstickle and I are going to hire a guide to teach us the ins and outs of Bahamas fishing. Our logic is that we'll bring back some fish to offset the cost of the guide and generally the guide cleans the fish. Yea, win, win. We were going to go out today but we have squalls going through. Plan B is perhaps going snorkeling on what they call 'Bimini Road'. It's a bunch of granite rocks shaped into blocks a few hundred feet offshore. Granite is not indigenous to the Bahamas. Legend is that they were originally part of a road to Atlantis.

Are we there yet?
Kerm here,
We left No Name Harbor south of Miami and made it to Bimini in about 7 hours. The forecast was for 2 to 3 foot waves from the south / south east. True they were from those directions but there were leftovers from the north the previous day. So the way the gulf current works is if any northerly runs against the gulf current. Bingo, mondo waves. We had the leftovers. So 2 to 3's, yes, piled on top of 4 to 6's from another direction. You do the math, every x amount of waves the 2 to 3's would break at the top of 4 to 6's. As I drove out of the harbor and started to get into them to myself I thought, "get me out of here". I knew the crew was thinking, " Kerm is thinking get me out of here but please don't let him say it. So, in the end I said "who wants the wheel, I'm going down to the cabin to take a rest". And that's where I stayed until Linda said "land ho" about 6 hours later. I guess stinky crossings just ain't my cup of tea.
We stayed in South Bimini last night and moved to North Bimini today and are at Browns Marina. They rebuilt it over the last couple of years and is cheaper than South Bimini at the Sands plus it is right near what some people call downtown. Downtown might be a stretch. You gotta be here to understand.
Horrible, horrible landing at Browns. Blowing stink but still the current was more than the blow. A half dozen other boats blew it too so I feel somewhat vindicated. Even Ruby screwed up a bit and he is a master at docking although I did warn him that the current was stronger than the stink blow. Live and learn. I think what you do is sit out there and watch other stupid people make an ass out of their selves and then try to not replicate it.
Weather predictions for today for our 2 day crossing to Nassau were decent according to nearly all forecasts. It was supposed to lay down as the day progressed and could get a bit stinky tomorrow later in the day. We did not take the bait and thank goodness we didn't as it did not lay down today as it's blowing stink here in the marina at 1:30. This crossing to Nassau has a twist. You anchor out in the middle of nowhere, a gazillion miles from a place with land sticking out of the water with no protection within hours and then spend the next day in the Tongue of the Ocean turtle'ing your way to what the crew calls Nassewer. Jeez, I love cruising to places somewhere out in an ocean.
Curmudgeon is what Chris calls me after reading my posts. Actually she says "kermmudgeon". After reading so many other blogs singing the praises of the cruising life I hope that I bring a bit of reality to it. It is all wonderful and for me as it would be a bit boring if it was just about getting a good tan or going down the list of Oprah's picks for books. If it was easy we would have every Tom, Dick and Harry out here destroying our sense of adventure. Nuff said, no sweet cakes from Kerm.

Just wait'n
We're in Ft. Lauderdal and should hit south Miami tomorrow where we will wait for our crossing to Bimini. 13 bridges went up for us today and about 7 yesterday. The Intercoastal Waterway keeps us off the ocean but people need to get to their homes on the barrier islands, hence the bridges. Not so bad, you just have to have patience. Nice anchorage near the heart of town. Misstickle our old boat buddy is here and Crazy Lady who we met at Hinkley is here also.
Blood psi was up a bit leaving the slip in a blow today but in the morning I stalled a couple of hours as I figured out the plan to get out without causing damage to other boats or my ego. None of my logistics worked but in the end we actually looked like we knew what we were doing. I'll take it.
Night before last we had a dozen inches of rain at an anchorage near North Palm Beach, perhaps more. Some areas close to us showed anywhere from 12 to 22 inches, INCHES. A real mess it was on land. When the gusts hit we thought our anchor was breaking loose. Chris and Linda went out in PJ's (with life jackets) to check things out but we were just moving differently than the sailboats around us. Chris stayed up most of the night for anchor watch anyway. Sopped like wet puppies they were. Bilbo Baggins said something like " adventures are seldom comfortable or maybe it was Winni the Pooh, I get confused, but who ever it, there is probably something to it.
Generator took a c*** yesterday again. The raw water pump impeller 'sploded. 60 hours, man, we bought the best... couple of hours to fix it. I'll tell ya, it pays to be a, well, a, on the small side physically with a, well, a, tiny hands if you're going to do the impeller job. Ain't no way a 6 footer could do the job, no way. And the Belle had the man on board to do the job. ME.
OK, we're on to No Name Harbor south of Miami tomorrow. Then we wait for a weather window. Maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday. Even the forecasters don't know for sure what's going to happen right know. I ain't turning the key in any less than 2 to 3 feet in the day light and the forecasters have to be willing to fall on their sword if they are wrong. Not %50 or %60 percent stuff, I want the forecaster to say, "Kerm, go now, and if I'm wrong there will be 10 cases of beer waiting for you in Bimini".

Chris here...
For those of you in the frozen North, our dinghy 'Tinker Belle', is feeling your pain...
I know those in the northern climes are suffering badly, and we want you to be safe...wrap up. The main problem here is the wind...we have noted gusts of 27 knots here on the Belle today and we are tied up in a sheltered marina. Not a day for traveling.
Our trip across Florida on the Okeechobee Waterway was very enjoyable. Weather was good, lockmasters were friendly and the scenery was serene, not spectacular. Great to be on the move again, especially now that Linda has joined us as crew. Joining up with Misstickle made it even more more fun.
As Kerm has mentioned in his blog entry we are staying here for a couple of days waiting for a part for the generator. It gives us a chance to visit with Looper friends from Makalani, which is an unexpected bonus. Some additional provisioning will also be completed. With the weather being so awful we are happy to be in port until it moderates and we can head to Miami for a jump-off to Bimini.
Take care all,
Christie

Stuart, FL windchill advisory
Kerm here,
Yes, that's right. We're in now in Stuart and there is a windchill advisory. The temperature is 46 and the wind is blowing stink. The chill is 30 degrees. Ouch. We have not been blessed with great weather since we left the St. Croix. Sure a day here and a day there but not so good so far. Better times are coming.
Currently we are at Hinkley Boat Yard where we are getting our generator looked at. The charging system for the battery has given up the ghost. It had been weak but now, nothing. The parts will be here on Thursday so more money on our marina stay Vs anchoring. Chris is big on naming things like the generator and named it Miracle. Apparently Onan has teams building these things and we saw on the documentation that it was the Miracle team. If we have any more trouble with it I'm going to choose another name and it probably won't be so cute.
We chose this yard because it is right next the home of one of our previous boat buddies. Vince and Mary Dell'Orefice aboard the Makalani traveled with us on and off from Uswego, NY to parts of Canada. We had a wonderful time with them and were so happy when they contacted us a few weeks ago with an invite to visit.
Another reason we chose this yard is that it is Hinkley. Hinkley makes some of the highest quality boats around and it's just wonderful looking at all of their different models here in the marina. If I won the lottery a Hinkley would be at or near the top of the list. I would then build a climate controlled pole barn somewhere, stuff it inside and spend my time just waxing it. On special occasions I would start it up and listen to it run. The only time it would be used is when they spread my ashes on the St. Croix River.
Our trip from the Gulf to Atlantic was great. We had the company of our friends aboard Misstickle who we had not seen since Demopolis, AL. They are easy to travel with and are masters at finding free docks. The night before last we both tied up to dolphins in Port Mayaca with a bow line to one and stern line to another. Hey, it beats worrying all night thinking about anchor drag or wind shifts. I like it.
Stay warm.
