HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
Yesterday Chris and I worked like crazy - loads of laundry at the laundromat, provisioning at Walmart to the tune of $300 and putting the dinghy back up on the davits. We rewarded ourselves with dinner out last night at Wahoos at the top of the dock, but were in bed by 10! We were so tired from boat chores that couldn't stay up to watch the ball drop!
According to all the websites we checked (Windmapper, Wunderground and Buoy Weather) the winds will be from the east and are light at 6-8 kts. on Saturday. We plan to leave here tomorrow morning and travel to W. Palm Beach where we hope to anchor out behind Peanut Island to get an early jump over to West End Bahamas where we'll check in with Customs & Immigration and spent the night at Old Bahama Bay marina. After that it's onto Great Sail Cay, then to Green Turtle Cay and then the next weather window we'll need is crossing the Great Whale Passage which has a treacherous reputation. We've booked a slip at Boat Harbour in Marsh Harbour at the Abaco Beach Resort. From there we can jump off and do day or 2/3 day trips to explore the smaller cays. We will probably be without internet from West End to Green Turtle.
Our Cell phones won't work in Marsh Harbour, but you can reach us via Skype. Our login name is "LongGone".
I'm looking forward to seeing some blue water! We might even use that fishing rod we purchased and hopefully catch some dinner!
