Heading west today




Today we said our goodbyes to the 3 hulled crews and sailed west.....

After sailing over 1,000 miles this winter and spring, today we made our first sail that will eventually find us in Charlotte Harbor on the west coast of Florida. Weather made up our mind on the direction we decided to go since there has been a tropical low to the southeast of the Bahamas and the exit strategy of going to the Berry's was dropped. Now we head back through the Abacos and the first step is to get by the "Whale". This had to be today since the winds and potential weather for the next few days will stop travel across it soon. No problems except it was pretty lumpy. The motor yacht will need a bath after blasting through it!

We will hang out in Green Turtle Cay for a few days to wait out the weather. Then........westward ho!
