The countdown is on!

After two weeks of lots of boat work and little pleasure, we finally will get ready just in time for the upcoming weather window, to cross the gulf stream. After a very windy week, the forecast for Tuesday still looks very promising. Little wind and small waves for two days. Just right to do our first crossing.

Before we can throw the lines off, we need to complete the provisioning and stowing for the upcoming 6+ weeks. Then we need to go to the Customs and Border Protection Office in Ft. Pierce, to get the documents cleared to leave the country.

On Monday morning, we will leave Stuart and heading for Lake Worth, where we will stay for the night at the anchorage.

The plan is, to leave Lake Worth on Tuesday very early, before the sun is rising. This should allow us enough time to cross.

We are now very excited and are curios, what the Bahamas will be like for us on the boat. One thing is for sure - it will be a big adventure!

Abaco, - see you soon!
