Ahhh it is with mixed feelings I write this.
It's time to begin heading home -- not too quickly but certainly back to the USA.
We went to Manjack for a last visit then anchored off NEw Plymouth in Green Turtle Cay yesterday and evening. I just wanted to see the lights of the settlement one last time and to make a minor grocery trip.
I really like the Bahamas but the cost is really a gut wencher. Ohh well there is always some kind of "snake" in paradise.
This morning we left the anchorage and began the trip back. Today we are making a long run to Great Sale Cay or about 65 miles. We are having a very nice run. Just 16 miles away as I write this. The seas are settled a nice 10 - 14 knot wind from behind and we are averaging 7.0 kts. Well I'm sure that bottom cleaning has something to do with that too.
Hope to be into the anchorage at Great SAle CAy before 4pm. We need an early start tomorrow to make West End. We will go into the expensive marina there but Karen has never seen it and its worth seeing and experiencing.
Victoria Gaye is with us and will cross with us. That is a comforting thought for both of us.
We are not alone though it seems that most the regulars that were at HopeTown all winter have elected this crossing window too. There must be at least 6 of them -- Antares, Solitare I, Jilli Q, Smiles, Summer Tilt, etc.
MAybe we can see a green flash at Great Sale Cay tonight -- that would be GREAT.
