Gulf Stream Crossing to the Bahamas
















the Gulf Stream Crossing to the Bahamas started early (0300) from Dinner Key.

By noon we were nearly around the north end of Bimini, and headng for Machie Shoal, where we'd anchor for the night.... 10 to 15 knot winds during the crossing from the correct direction... SW.

Water like a mill pond that next night (see sunset photo).
Randy took some great shots of AB... (some posted here).
We checked in an cleared customs and immigration at Chub Key, then came down toward New Providence. We sailed through the harbor, just to get the "lay of the land"... and went on to Rose island for a couple of days.
Now were back in Nassau... Ruth and James should arrive tomorrow for a visit.
More later.
