The thunderstorms have passed and we are left with partly cloudy skies and wind gusting to 30 kts. The high is supposed to be around 75 today. This is what a cold front looks like in the Bahamas. All things considered, not bad.
Not being able to get off the boat has given me some time to enter trip data into a spreadsheet. So here is a recap.
In 194 days since leaving Kemah on July 11, we have gone approximately
1820 miles, made four overnight passages, the longest which was 190
miles and 32 hours. The next longest passage was 125 miles and 20 hours
when we crossed the Gulf Steam from Marathon to Bimini.
It has been a blast and we're looking forward to the next piece of the adventure. On to the Exumas in the next day or two!
Take care.

Hi guys! This is Mike (and Jenny) in Imagine, St. Petersburg. Glad to hear your trip is going well. :-) we love the Abacos, but, of all the places I've ever been, you are about to enter what I'd have to pick as my favorite for sheer beauty. True, beer's expensive, and forget about veggies!, but I can't wait to get back to the Exumas. Take it slow and enjoy it...whenever you leave you'll be dreaming of it! At the southern end, Georgetown is like civilization but being alone is beautiful too! We're happy for you and wishing you the best. It was a chilly 47 here in St. Pete last night but today is very clear and sunny and pleasant!
