HOORAY!!!!
Did you think this day would ever come?
We left the anchorage at 4:00 am and right off the bat, we had no bow running lights. Thank goodness for the stick on dinghy lights because that's what we used! It was a L-O-N-G day but the weather held as predicted and the seas were fairly light. We were all by ourselves except for a few container ships and a couple of sport fish!
We got to the Marina about 3:00 pm, fueled up at $4.50 per gallon (yikes) and then checked in with customs...took about 1/2 hr. to clear with no problems (even WITH the shotgun). We took down our 'Q' flag and now we're legal to go whever we would like in the Bahamas! Chris is busy hosing off the boat as she resembles a salt shaker. We have some lovely pictures of the blue water but we are at a slip without power tonight (they wanted a $280 deposit to get power) so I want to conserve the laptop batteries - it takes forever to upload a picture. A few moments ago, a sailboat from Oriental, NC came and docked behind us - a small world after all!
I have no idea what's around here - I just wanted to get this posted so you all would know that we are safe and WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
