Ahhh it is getting to be that time to plan to head back to the USA.
Tomorrow we will leave HopeTown and go to Marsh Harbour for a few days to reprovision for a couple of weeks. Then it is on to Treasure Cay to await a weather window to cross the Whale Cay Passage to Green Turtle Cay where we will await a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream back to the USA.
Today is a little sad as we realize it is our last full day in HopeTown for this cruising season. It has been both fun and comforting in this nice snug harbour where we weathered many a cold front this winter. This weekend has been a very strong cold front but good sleeping weather. This has been the first time in weeks where the temps dropped below 70 degrees for the night. It was 66 degrees this morning and most folks where wearing there winter clothes until the sun warmed us up to about 77 degrees.
We went to the beach to fly a kite and go swimming and Karen went on one last sea glass hunt. It has been grand.
Unfortunately now they we said it -- "go back to USA" it is all we think of now. Time to prep the engines and filters and get everything ready. Clean or get cleaned the boat bottom before leaving -- we have a thousand miles to travel to get home. Expected ETA is mid May.
Hey we aren't going to rush home. There is plenty of cruising destinations left to visit.
