Anybody heading over ?

Short hop to blue-green waters and "island time"
God made small boats for younger boys and older men

Would dearly love to, but-

Family obligations look to take til summer,

And I still don't have "crew" and I've found I don't really like to single hand   :o

We would really like to.  The plan is to be in a yard (which yard who knows right now) in FL by the end of January.  A month there hopefully will get us at least into the keys.  With enough confidence we'll make the jump over but when is a total poop shoot today.  Any advice is greatly appreciated ;D

March if weather allows. Rodriquez Key is a pretty standard jump off for Bimini. Weches or Browns on North Bimini are right next door to customs and Immigration. Weches keeps forms

I jumped off from Angel Fish Creek, which worked ok

Have no info on sailing to West end

DO NOT try to cross on north winds

It's in the 70's in Oriental, NC today.  We've lost our motivation to head south.   ;D We're back to planning about heading north in a few months.

Saw the harbor cam pic. Tehani has been on that same dock more than once, and my trimaran was there in 84

70 would be very nice.

Enjoyed the phone call from JW the other morning.
