Nymeria on the other hand, has been cold and alone in her slip in Baltimore. It's time to shift focus. 000

Nymeria is going to be in the yard to get new bottom paint and her water line raised so that we don't look so heavy and low in the water. #sailskye @larakin.systems @ournextadventures.com 0343

Reposted by Our Next Adventures ⛵Justin Erickson @larakin.systems · 14/04/2025How much power does it take to make water from the ocean? ~1.4kw I'm currently making 35 gallons (130L) of water an hour. My water tank will be full in about 2 hours and it will probably use about half my battery bank. Usually I run a generator, but my batteries were full and I wanted to test. 121

Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 12/04/2025We've been quiet lately. We're on our last leg of this Bahamas journey. Currently safely tied up at a marina on Green Turtle Cay until we get a good weather window to cross back to the states. Until then. We have nothing to do but soak it in. 271

Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 14/03/2025Yea, this is ok. Dead calm this morning. Elbow Cay lighthouse in the background. This is the last remaining kerosene lit lighthouse. 182
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 13/03/2025This was not the plan. But because we are flexible we are able to take advantage of it. 020
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 13/03/2025One of the things about cruising is you have to be flexible. One never knows what the weather will bring, or what opportunities are around the corner. Today we got extremely lucky and we're able to secure a long term morning ball in Hope Town. 120
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 12/03/2025It's the little things. We hunkered down at Man-o-War Cay for a 38kt blow for the last few days. Today, we made it back to Elbow Cay and have a good weather outlook, & paid for a shower and laundry. All while sitting at a bar and enjoying a Bahamian rum drink. 010
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 06/03/2025We've been hunkered down in 25+kts of wind for the last few days. We're over it. Nymeria has been holding well with 100ft of chain, but we had to help rescue our neighbors this morning because they were dragging. Supposed to settle down tonight. 🤞 061
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 03/03/2025We've spent the last few days wandering Elbow Cay and Hope Town. Definitely a must stop area in the Abacos. We're hunkered down an anchor tonight, we have a few days of wind to look forward to. 051

Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 18/02/2025It's true. Last year we overheard on the radio as a boat got knocked down and sunk on the rocks. But @shannonerickson.me is an amazing weather router. She is 3 for 3 on this passage. 110
Our Next Adventures ⛵ @ournextadventures.com · 17/02/2025We've made it through "The Whale" a passage around a shallow zone. It's known to be hazardous in the wrong weather.
