Bahamas or Bust

After way too long it is finally time to leave. Our plan is to depart West Palm Beach for the Bahamas and spend just a few days there. Then we'll head east into the Atlantic until we can turn south for the Virgin Islands. That should be about a 9 day voyage. We've met some really nice people during our stay in Florida, so as usual it's kind of hard to leave. It was an absolutely beautiful evening for a Gulfstream crossing and we arrived at Great Sale, Bahams about 4pm the next day. Then on to Green Turtle to clear customs. We also stopped in Marsh Harbor and Great Guana Cay overnight.

After 3 years in the Rybovich shipyard you get your own assigned parking space! But now we don't own any cars, so, "we don't need no parking space"!

One final Send-off!
Of course we couldn't leave without one final party send-off. I think our total may have been 15! We said we were leaving at 9pm on Monday, and this is the crew that showed up at 8pm to see us off. Of course we were running around like crazy trying to get last minute things done and we thought about delaying a day. But with this many witnesses we had to leave! Thank you! Cool shirts!

We made a quick visit to Man-O-War Cay to see the new home of some friends from West Palm. A little piece of paradise!

As usual Steve joins the band. Brown Tip really is playing a saw with a metal file. And he also cleans boat bottoms!

What a find!
Lili has always wanted to drive heavy equipment! For her birthday last year Steve arranged for some digging at the large construction site managed by a college friend! But the Bahamas equipment looks "mo-betta"!

Friends from Texas
Unknown to us some friends from Port Aransas had their boat in the Abacos. They heard us on the radio and we hooked up for a few days. Here we are after snorkling at Nippers!

Don't let this happen to you
We thought this was a really funny photo. Nippers is a famous bar, with a famous drink. And this is what can happen!

Time to move on
We've had a great but very short visit in the Abacos, but it is time to move on. Our insurance requires us to be in Trinidad before July 1st. So now its time for that 10 day passage to the Virgin Islands.
