Departure Day Saturday March 26 2011

After stocking the ships store with groceries and other essentials such as beer, wine and liquor we are prepared to leave the dock.  A great time it was to spend at Mitch and Barbs home.  I tried to earn my keep by helping him on his boat projects.  Many enjoyable dinners at home as well as with Mitch and Barbs friends and family.

Our float plan has been set.  It looks like Tuesday may be a good day to cross the Ocean and the Gulfstream to Bimini.  We will depart Saturday morning and travel some 240 miles by Monday night to a point where we can make the crossing to Bimini.  An ambitious plan but doable.  Off we go!
