M/V Pretty Penny

  $439,000

 

     We are sorry to say that after seven years of cruising the wonderful waters of the Bahamas, we have decided it is time for a new adventure. As a result, we are now selling the Pretty Penny. It was a hard decision to make. The Pretty Penny has become such a part of our lives and taken us to many wonderful ports of call and provided the backdrop for making so many lasting friendships, that we will probably be in tears at the closing. 

     The Pretty Penny is well suited for cruising the Bahamas and elsewhere. With a shallow draft of 3 and half feet, we are able to snuggle up to land when the winds are strong. With the huge fuel capacity, we fuel up in the US, cruise all winter in the Bahamas and refuel back in the US. This saves us paying higher prices out of country and ensures we get good quality fuel. With a fuel capacity of 2,300 gallons, this boat is capable of crossing the Atlantic, although we never were that adventurous. 

     The boat makes a terrific live-aboard with its home size refrigerator, two staterooms, tons of storage, and table that comfortably seats 8 to 10 people. Entertaining is a breeze with the large galley.

Staniel Cay Area

One of those really rare times of quiet where the water looks like glass.


So calm you can see the bottom clearly.

We have been enjoying ourselves with friends in the Staniel Cay area this winter. I purchased a water aerobics set this summer and have been faithfully working out in the water for an hour most everyday. Although I have to grimace getting into the cool water, once I get moving I warm up pretty fast. I tie a rope to the strap on the belt around my waist so I can't float away from the boat. It has been great exercise, wonderful for my back too. I only regret not having purchased one of these sets earlier!


Ray and Susan from No Agenda in their tender.

We enjoyed watching all the games on No Agenda and had a great Super Bowl Party with them and other boaters. This year, we have not seen as many mega-yachts here (although locals tell me they are coming in March),e repairbut the number of cruisers like us is higher than usual. We hear that in George Town the number of boats in the harbor this year is 285 as of last count.


Dinner one night on Exodus with our hosts Arnie and Susan, John and Wendy on Windemere. Thanks to John for taking the photo.

We have had a few nasty fronts and have had to move to more protected anchorages to dodge them. Last week we moved to an area known as Pipe Creek with our friends on Salty Turtle and No Regrets. We have never anchored in this location. While it protected on most sides, this area has one strong current running through it. Most boats put out two anchors, fore and aft, when here. We had anchored a little too close to No Regrets and with winds to 30 knots, we took turns standing watch. The next morning, we moved a little and had a hard time resetting the anchor. Usually, wherever we put our Rocna anchor down, it stays and is usually on its way to China, but this time it took 6 tries to get a good hold. The current and wind were going in opposite directions and that contributed to the problem. It finally set and stayed that way through the rest of the time we were there.


One of those nasty fronts over Pirate Beach where we have afternoon cocktails with friends everyday.


Our friends Vic and Gigi arrived at Staniel Cay in their "new to them" boat, Salty Turtle. We were so happy to see them.

I made my annual trip back to the states for a doctor's appointment again this year from Staniel Cay. I always fly Flamingo Air from Staniel Cay to Nassau. This year Flamingo had a slightly larger airplane.


My Flamingo Air flight back to Nassau. I ended up on the smaller plane on the trip back. :(


The only photo I could take as I was on the wrong side to see the islands we were flying over.

We were able to get off the boat and had dinner one night with Salty Turtle and cocktails another night with No Regrets. We were right behind Thomas Cay and we walked the beach one day to look for sea glass and came back with quite a collection. Most were slightly broken and I will have to take them home and tumble them this summer to finish them. We went back three days later and got another load with just as many as the first time! It was a great beach for glass.


My first days collection of sea glass.


The last front when we were in Pipe Creek arriving. It was a bad one with high winds, but we were safe.

Every year our generator, a Westerbeake, (I call it a Westerbroke), started leaking oil from the main seal. Bob talked with our wonderful mechanic back stateside, and Al said it was a fire hazard and not to run it. That meant we got out our portable Honda 2000 to power the boat. So far, that plus the solar panels and wind generator are managing to keep up with our needs. The repair is too difficult to do here in the Bahamas and is a major repair. Given all the trouble we have had with this generator, and the age of it, we have decided we will replace it when we return to the states. The issue then is, should weg o back early and have it done, or carry on using the back-up Honda for now. The downside is that we do not have a back-up to the back-up, but we have decided to continue on.

Today we moved on south to Blackpoint where I did a mural for Lorraine's Cafe. When I posted the photo on Facebook and the blog, I realized that I had forgotten to add leaves to the vine around the mural, so I went back and did that. While I was there, Lorraine said she was having some problems with the "locals" about the fact that I had only included one of the locally built racing sloops and none of the others. So tomorrow morning, I will go back and add 5 other boats to the mural.

We will stop at a few anchorages on our way south to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the anchorages we have been in at Staniel and Blackpoint. It will be crowded again in Georgetown. We weren't sure we would make the Cruiser's Regatta in Georgetown, but it now looks like we should be there for part of it this year after all.


Goodnight from Staniel Cay!
