For us Georgetown is a special place because that’s where our cruising dream started most of 20 years ago. That being said it's not our favorite place to be this time of year because it's crowded with hundreds of cruising boats in the harbour. A stop in Georgetown is a necessary evil as it's the … Continue reading Georgetown to Salt Pond, Long Island

Abacos to Georgetown
We left the Little Harbour cut in predawn darkness to hit slack current on our way to Eleuthera. The wind was 15-20 knots just aft of the beam which made for a fun and speedy sail to Eleuthera. Sunrise Over the Atlantic We had wanted to stop at "The Current" settlement for a couple of … Continue reading Abacos to Georgetown
A Different Visit to the Abacos
Dorian Hovers Over the Abacos This is a reposting from earlier this season for those that didn’t get notified of the December post. Phebe and I have spent much of our time aboard Noodin in the Abacos and have gotten to know many of her people and places. We had made the decision to skip … Continue reading A Different Visit to the Abacos
It’s Been a While
Back in January we made the decision to stay in the Abacos to be near airports and marinas to be able to fly out when it was time to be with my ailing father and help my stepmom with his care. We ended up leaving Noodin in Black Sound, Green Turtle Cay and flying to … Continue reading It’s Been a While
Noodintime is on Instagram!
I haven't figured out yet how to integrate an Instagram link neatly into the website but we are now posting to pictures on Instagram. On Instagram, search for noodintime and you should be able to find us. Instagram should be a nice way to show you where we are.
The Garmin Tracker is No More
We want to let you know that we've cancelled our subscription for the Garmin satellite tracking service. I'll be modifying the website menus to reflect that. Apologies to those of you who use and enjoy it but it just doesn't make sense to pay for it now that we aren't moving around much. Hopetown Harbour
Getting to Know the Abacos
We've left a lot of the Abacos unseen on our previous Bahama trips as we've traveled through with other destinations in mind. This year life has conspired to keep us a little closer to home. While we are a little disappointed that we won't see that beautiful Exuma water this season, we are excited to … Continue reading Getting to Know the Abacos
Junkanoo at Green Turtle Cay
Junkanoo is a Bahamas street parade with dancing, music, and costumes held on Boxing Day and New Years Day. Green Turtle has Junkanoo on New Year's Day and we made a point of staying for it. The normally quiet streets of the settlement of New Plymouth were filled with vendors and spectators. In typical Bahamian … Continue reading Junkanoo at Green Turtle Cay
A Trip to Manjack
We had a few days of windy weather after Christmas that kept us snuggled in at Black Sound but it eventually gave way to sunny and settled weather. We had a couple of days before Junkanoo at Green Turtle Cay so we, and many other boats ventured off to nearby Manjack Cay ( pronounced Munjack … Continue reading A Trip to Manjack
Hanging Out at New Plymouth
We've been on a mooring here in Black Sound since we arrived in the Bahamas about 10 days ago. The original plan had been to clear customs here and then move onto Hopetown for Christmas and New Years like we did last year. After a little discussion we opted to stay here on Green Turtle … Continue reading Hanging Out at New Plymouth
