Leaving the Bahamas ....heading to Florida!




Up early to listen to Chris Parker (the SSB weatherman) and then it was off to West End. The sail there was 23 miles and once again the wind was mostly behind us. From Indian Rock it was off into the Gulf Stream and we were hoping for east-southeast wind but between the south wind and the current there was no chance for Ft Lauderdale today. So.....off across the stream to Lake Worth we went. Pulled into the anchorage at 5pm for a good 85 mile sail. The waves were pretty big on the Bahamian side of the stream but they were smaller on the west side and our timing was good for going into the Lake Worth Channel as the tide was going in with us. Check out the pictures......talk about blue water, huh??!!

Back in the USA but we will go back!! There is plenty more to see and do. We have only scratched the surface over in the Bahamas.
