What an incredible feeling! I still remember when we watched the sun come up over the horizon on the fifth morning. It was our longest offshore passage (five days) just the two of us and it was the first time we had sail our beautiful little boat from the shores of one country to another. Mine and Phillip’s cruise to Cuba in December, 2016 was a monumental, memorable voyage for us both. That was when we decided to set our sights first on Cuba, and it was a fantastic decision. While the Bahamas were hard to pass up, we knew they would be there waiting for us the next season, and with the tumultuous state of American-Cuban relations, we weren’t sure Cuba would be. And that decision held firm for a long time until we heard Cuba had thankfully opened up for American cruisers. I had no idea that amazing little enthusiastic woman would soon thereafter change my life.Īfter listening to her inspiring “Cruising the Abacos” seminar (and finding ourselves in dire hunger soon after for some “fresh baked Bahamian bread,” Pam always squeals when she says it) Phillip and I had originally decided back in 2015 that the first place we were going to cruise our boat to outside of the states would be the Bahamas. “Never cross with a north wind!” Can you hear it? Pam Wall’s little energetic voice? She repeated this warning many times when we first saw, heard and met her at the Miami Boat Show back in February, 2015.
