Departure Day

As I write this, Greg is busy preparing the boat for our departure. After looking at the forecast, it appears as though we have a great weather window to get across the Bahamas Bank. We expect that window will close by Sunday night.
So, we have a new plan:
Depart Bimini today, head toward the North West Channel and anchor overnight on the banks somewhere west of Chub Cay.
Tomorrow we will get up early (my friend Courtney calls it "o'dark thirty") and head for Nassau, hoping to arrive around 7pm. We will overnight in Nassau, then leave early Sunday morning for Allan's Cay in the north end of the Exuma Island chain.
Once we arrive in the Exuma's the weather will matter less for further passages, so we will be able to slow down a bit!
Keep watching our position to see our progress.

The engine has now started .... I guess we're on our way!

  1. safe travels..don't let the big cruise ships in Nassau frighten you and the Exumas are beautiful. Look for the sunken airplane (yes there is one..drug plane) and say hello to the igaunas for me.
