Four chicks sailing the Bahamas

   After Philipp travelled home from Caicos, Kiwi headed northwest to Bahamas with Mona, Karen, Ireen and Sanja onboard. 



















Clearing in at Mayaguana, our first port in Bahamas. The local police wasnt really impressed by Kiwi making it all the way to Bahamas from Norway, but was utterly astonished by two ladies walking the distance of four km (!) from our anchorage to the town where the customs office was located. We quickly become something like celebrities on the island. We were naturally escorted back to the boat in a police car.

Reminents of an oil spill on East Plane Cay, an uninhabited outer island of the Bahamas. There is no island that remote that plastic and other dirt wouldnt cover its shores. 

Sailing with three biologists naturally turns some of the focus of the trip on observing marine life. We all share great interest to snorkeling, but are equipped with slightly different levels of courage when it comes to approaching certain sharp thoothed top predators of the reefs (not in the picture)

This mahi-mahi turned in to dinner and lunch for four days. Mona is a competent slaughterer

Ireen does like the humpback whale

Karen and amazing colors
