We are on our final day here at No Name Harbor and are ready to go.
Another cool iguana |
It is a hub-bub of activity here today. We were warned how crazy weekends get and those folks were not exaggerating. Lots of spanish being spoken, yelled and sung too. Between that, the generators running 24/7, the cigar smoke and the dancing, I have to say it has been quite an experience.
We are going to cross to Alice Town on Bimini Island in the Bahamas tomorrow. We are leaving with S/V Outbound, the other Catalina 42 folks from Fish Creek at about 5AM. The weather guides all said today was the day but the winds were forecasted to be about 13 from the East which meant we'd not be able to sail at all and would be bucking a headwind the whole way. Weather shows wind should be about the same as today and come a bit more from the Southeast tomorrow which is why we opted to wait. Waves are forecasted to be just a bit higher so we opted to take our chances...for better or for worse. Time will tell. We will get up at 4AM, give Molly one of her new pills the vet gave us and wait the hour for it to kick in and go. It is just 42 nautical miles over so hopefully we'll have an uneventful day.
We are heading for Blue Waters Marina and can hopefully shoot out another update once we arrive so you all know we made it safely. The folks we are travelling with have been there before so it will be nice to be with someone who knows the ropes and the area.
Stay tuned for more from the other side!
