EXUMA BAHAMAS BOUND!

After a last minute frenzy of provisioning and taking care of "stuff," we kissed our dock goodbye and took off for a Retirement Grand Adventure.  It's been a goal of ours to cross the Gulf Stream to the pristine Bahamas, specifically, the Exuma Chain of Islands.  We've seen the gorgeous pictures and heard the awesome stories, so now it is our turn!  Hurrah!

We're in the company of two other boats, Can't Agree (piloted by dear friends, Maureen & Tom) and Blue Goose (sailed by more good friends, Marilyn & John).  Our first overnight stop was a pretty anchorage along side of Useppa Island.  Today we transitted Redfish Pass to the Gulf and will reach beautiful Marco Island in time for dinner and another calm anchorage.  Tomorrow, we plan to anchor off of MidCape along side of the Everglades.  This is a more remote spot so our communication will be spotty.  The next day we plan to make it to Marathon in the Florida Keys to rest and then plan our crossing.

Hope you'll follow our adventures to the Exumas!  We'll try to post a story frequently.  You can track us by clicking  Spot Tracking on the left side of the page.
