We spent the last few days in Marsh Harbour, Green Turtle Cay and Spanish Cay making repairs, exploring and socializing with Jeff, Dave and Corinne. We attended the 25th anniversary of the beer of the Bahamas, Kalik Beer, toured New Plymouth Settlement on Green Turtle Cay and did some beach combing on Goat Cay.

The weather for our last few days in the Bahamas has been fabulous and we have been taking advantage of every opportunity to enjoy it.
Tomorrow we are heading out on our long journey across the gulf stream. Our intent is to make it as far north as Moorhead City, NC before the weather turns. This is a 550 nm journey that we hope to complete in 60 hours. We will be sailing alongside "At Last".

At night, we will be taking 3 hour shifts at the helm. When I am on the helm Dave will be monitoring me from his boat so Al can sleep and Al will monitor Corinne when she is at helm on At Last so Dave can get some sleep. We have made the boats ready for the crossing and are ready for an early start tomorrow.
