We were able to finish up our work just in time for a weather window to open up. After more than two weeks, the seas are predicted to be only 2 feet tomorrow across the Gulf Stream. It's a one day window of calm with seas building back up on Tuesday.
Our anchorage, south and north views
We left the marina this morning and moved to an anchorage just south of the inlet. It's the first sunny and warm day we've had in a while and Every Body was out on the water! It was a bit of a zoo.
This afternoon, we've been watching the anchorage fill up as boats come in to anchor and prepare for an early departure tomorrow morning. It's going to look like a mass exodus at dawn! We're also doing some last minute stowing of things, posting the blog, trying to get some emails and phone calls in before we head out.
Skyping in the cockpit
Vector is anchored just north of us, also getting ready for our passage tomorrow. Our plan is to shoot pretty much straight across and anchor on the white sands bank. Immigration at West End is going to be nuts with so many people heading over tomorrow so we'll stay at anchor over night and then continue on for a port of entry. We're not sure exactly where we'll go, perhaps Walker, Spanish or Green Turtle Cays.
We're all so excited for our Bahamian Adventure to begin :)
Smooth sailing and have a great trip! I've enjoyed reading your blog and living vicariously through it; excited to follow along on the Bahamian adventure ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe! We're looking forward to the next couple of months. It's so beautiful here and there's so much to explore!
