Brock and I will leave the Lake Worth inlet at 3 AM Thursday morning. We will raise our sails and put Summer Snow on a heading of 121 degrees M. We have calculated this heading to compensate for the Gulf Stream which flows north at 2 - 3 nts. We will check in at West End on Thursday afternoon and stay there over night. Most cell phones do not work in Bahama, particularly Verizon phones, so we will be out of communication for a few days. I will purchase a Bahama Cell phone ASAP, acquire Wifi internet ASAP, and check in with Bev as soon as I can.
We will sail to Great Sale Cay on Friday and spend the night anchored out. Then we will sail to Green Turtle Cay or Marsh Harbor depending on conditions. This will be a total of approximately 185 nautical miles or 213 miles. Piece of cake!
good luck and godsspeed.I know it's an adventure you have looked forward to for a long time.

How exciting! Can't wait to hear all about it. Have a great time crossing and I will see you next week! Be safe.
ReplyDeleteGreat news--I was afraid you'd have to fly over to meet your family. Looking forward to your next post!
