Sailing to the Exumas! 🎉 Weston’s Birthday, Pirate Hideouts & Bahamas Adventures | S2E2

After ringing in the New Year in Nassau, we took the kids to Bajamar to celebrate Weston’s upcoming 7th birthday! Even though it was chilly, Wes, Ari, and I braved the lazy river—especially since one lifeguard kept playing rock-paper-scissors with Wes every time we floated by! And, of course, no stop in Nassau is complete without a visit to The Poop Deck! From there, we set sail across the Great Bahama Bank, heading for the Exumas. Our first stop: Highbourne Cay, where we did some fishing and prepped for Weston’s birthday celebration. Cupcakes, a piñata (a first for his new friends!), and a whole lot of fun made it a birthday to remember. Next, we crossed another shallow bank to Shroud Cay, the first island in the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The crystal-clear water looked more like a swimming pool than the ocean! Exploring the winding tidal rivers by dinghy, it really started to hit us—this is why we chose this life. No deadlines, no rush—just adventure. One more beach stop, and we were off to one of the most beautiful places in all of the Bahamas: Warderick Wells. Here, we followed an old sailor’s tradition, leaving an offering to Poseidon at Boo Boo Hill—using a piece of our boat that no longer fit after our fridge replacement (seemed fitting!). We also hiked to see the musical rock, the blowhole (which wasn’t blowing), and the infamous poisonous trees. But my favorite spot? The Pirate’s Lair—a secluded anchorage with fresh water, making it the perfect hideout for pirates back in the day. We explored the trails, saw trees that sprouted from seeds pirates unknowingly carried in their bedding, and imagined what life here must have been like centuries ago. Along the way, we met some incredible cruising families—some we’d end up sailing through the entire Caribbean with, and some who will be lifelong friends. 🌊 Places We Visited in This Episode: 📍 Nassau 🌊 Bajamar Water Park 🍽️ The Poop Deck ⛵ Great Bahama Bank 🎣 Highbourne Cay 🏝️ Shroud Cay (Exuma Land & Sea Park) 🐠 Warderick Wells 🪵 Boo Boo Hill 🏴‍☠️ The Pirate’s Lair #SailingFamily #BoatLife #Exumas #Bahamas #SailingAdventures #LiveaboardLife #HighbourneCay #ShroudCay #WarderickWells #BooBooHill #PiratesLair
