    2000 Grand Alaskan GA60 Fort Pierce, FL $599,950

    We just got in from cruising the Bahamas for the last 7 months. This is a proven cruiser that is "ready to go". We are in the process of getting her hauled out for annual maintenance and a few updates. You can purchase her "as is" or make a deposit and take delivery once she splashes back...

    Electrical plug in question

    Hubell Marine Voltage regulator with Boost We had this problem, and a few more, all at the same time and as it turned out, for different reasons! (a whole pack of gremlins got loose all at the same time!) This was a couple of years ago at Ft Pierce while we were loading up to go to the...

    Cross over to Bahamas with winds out of the south

    We were very surprised to see how much the big boat knocked down the sea for the tender. We towed our 23' Bay Boat and the seas were more than forecast. Called for 2-4 with 10-15 out of the SE. Turned out to be more like 3-5 with 15-20 out of the ESE. But, it wasn't a problem. The big boat...

    Cross over to Bahamas with winds out of the south

    I'd look hard at leaving a few days early if possible. Monday looks like it may be OK with the transitioning that DD mentioned but, if you were to get stuck or have a problem you are gonna get smoked shortly there after. However, It's still a little far out for accurate weather forecasting and...

    Bahamas - What am i missing?

    On a serious note ......... N4061, For us, it's all we've ever know. We always called it our "Budget Bahama Trip". We'd go on our own boat, sleep on the beach and eat what we caught. "No lie" While bullding a business and trying to raise a family, we could never be gone for very long. We...

    Two Docks......... RTF, That is the "County" owned dock. "City" owned is just East of the bridge, closer to the hardware store and restaurant. Just checked, seems the county now charges a small fee but, either will get you there. And yes, a very strong current. This is part of the...

    Valona GA

    You can get in easy, just stay in the middle of the channel. But, there won't be any place to tie up and there isn't anything there. You would have to raft up to a shrimp boat. If you are looking to get off the boat and grab some supplies a better place would be Shellman Bluff just a little...

    Marsh Harbour "On the Hard"

    Green Turtle I second the Green Turtle recommendation. I'm not bashing Marsh Harbor, I have never used them. But, I have used Abaco Yacht Services on Green Turtle for years! Super folks, super service and very safe! A little more trouble to get to but...………… it's more trouble, for the...
