Day 1: George Town to Staniel Cay


George town to Staniel Cay
Bahamas

**********************************************

Just over 1/4 tank of gas
106 km (only 4700 more to go) 

**********************************************


We decided to try our luck at the Ocean, these days have been far and few between.

I am sure if you have been lucky enough to have sunk your toes into the shores of any ocean....you quickly jumped back with glee as it rushed passed your knees. 

Waves crashing the shore....creating the soothing 'familiar' white noise.....so many people find so peaceful.

The problem when you live on a boat....is getting passed those waves....and out into the safety of the unknown beyond.

Wondering if today she will be a friend or foe?

On this day she was kind :) 
And after a day in the sun, deepening our tans we arrived safely at our anchorage! 

The best part of the trip back is knowing some of the spots we can quietly tuck away in. 

Funny I know! 
There is something about seeing everything for the first time and yet the safety of the known. 

In this case we hope to make it back quickly and safely! Which means today we lean in to the safety and beauty of knowing this will most likely be our last time here? (At least on this boat!)

Stanial Cay: Crown of Thorns Cut

 

Gasoline:
$ 1154 Canadian 
$855 American 


Second run at stocking up on groceries! 

What I wouldn't give for cold water and fresh fruit! 

For now we sit a little closer to home....in paradise. 

'Stuck' in one of our most favorite spots through out the Bahamas! 

We had hoped to push on today but life has gentle reminded us with her changing winds and forecast, that perhaps it's time to take a breath and soak up a few more memories!

Tomorrow is another day! 
And if gifted it, we hope to rejoin the journey home! 



 

Location: Staniel Cay, The Bahamas

Finally an update on everything and nothing

So here we sit, keyboard tapping and no true news to report.  Funny how long its been, with delays being hidden on hopes and dreams of sharing good news.   Words hung up on wishes. In truth we know that greatness rarely comes easy, especially to this motley crew. Yet, as we reflect, scream and plan we are humbled by the year that has come to pass. We have had enough wins to warrant a pat on the back... and perhaps grant ourselves a little grace  We can confidently say we are giving it our all.   Not sure if we are still crawling or snuck in some baby steps.....but forward is forward! Let CRA be the judge 🤣 Which as of right now....have asked for more clarification..... Which we are eager to share....however the phone call of help soared high over my head!  Arms flinging to grab any detail I could grab.....to help capture the point form reply they eagerally await!  Insert the plea to lawyers here!  One lawyer office quickly and kindly cr...

Helllllo Charity Status!

  Well hello there! Once again its been a hot minute.  But hey we have been busy chasing dreams and making momories! As many of you know we found out in February that we had been granted official charity status! This is HUGE for us! What that means is that I might return to tapping on these keys. Although the goal might be a little different than past blogs, we do want to keep everyone up to date on where we are at with things. So with that said lets dive into it. With receiving charity status, it means we can truly launch into fundraising and that mad dash to upgrade the boat one last time! Although we love and are grateful for Dare to Dream, we know that there will be people missing out just based on the limitations of our current vessel.  Dont get confused, we will still be moving full speed ahead with hosting guests this summer! We believe in what the waters and nature has to offer and we remain determined to share our experience with as many veterans that are willing...

4800 km to go! But whos counting!

Another pin in our hats and a notch in our belts! Thats right...we are heading back! We had a few guests take us up on our offer to come visit, although not as many as we had hoped or thought might come.  But than again we didn't really know what to expect. Either way we are happy to have had the chance to share a piece of this chapter with you!  And remind you and others that our doors are always open! Canada is just as beautiful in its own way, as the blue seas of the Bahamas! We think it will be sometime before we venture down this way on a boat again. We learned that others were right! It wasn't a cheap trip, BUT it was worth every penny.... We prefer to live our life than wish we had! With that said....time to start saving again! (we are dreamers but we aren't stupid - we still have more dreams to live!) Our time here has been amazing....from the moment we pushed off port with teary eyes as new friends wished us well.....to the lessons learned along the way. It has bee...
