Sailboat Tranquilizer

With the plan in mind, to sail the Caribbean Sea and wherever the wind will take us, we bought the sailboat Tranquilizer, a 1999 Hunter 410 in July 2013. Several projects on the boat had to be completed first and we had to get used to the boat. Not an easy thing, since the boat sits in Florida while we live in Europe. This is the place where we post about our our adventures, boat projects etc. Finally, the day has come, and we started our adventure in March 2016.

In the middle of nowhere

We planned our last anchorage in the Bahamas on the Bank, in the middle of nowhere. All around us, just water and the horizon. Only 2 miles west, there is the drop off, where the Bahmas Bank becomes the Atlantic Ocean. Within a few hundred Meters, the water depth changes from 3 Meters to over 800 meters. the color of the water changes from turquoise green in to a very deep blue.

So there we were. No protection at all. Very little information about this place was to be found. But it offered a perfect place to get a very early start in the morning, and heading out on the ocean.
