Leaving Florida in our wake 11/18/2009


Wind and sea are in a favorable pattern for a scheduled departure to the Bahamas tonite at 8:00pm. We begin our "Thorny" voyage first east then south through the islands.Thorny because our route opposes the prevailing trade winds, current and seas. Traveling at night affords the best condition to maximize our comfort along the way and the best visibility to navigate the reefs upon arrival the following morning. Space aboard a blue water sailboat is at a premium and the availability of fundamental supplies questionable in the islands dictating scrutiny and prudent provisioning for the voyage.
Fish in the harbor by the thousands.
