Where are the new posts?

We're stuck in NY while Maryanne teaches at Touro College in Manhattan and Bay Shore this week.  The weather here is not nearly as nice as it is where our boat is.  It's in the 20's with snow on the ground.  I'm frustrated because I can't go running outside.  I am looking forward to Florida weather - but both Maryanne and I are a little apprehensive about the new challenges of crossing the Gulf Stream and the Bahama Banks.  We're hoping for a really, really good weather window after the first week of February!

    The first link is a reminder of what the Gulf Stream looks like when you wait for the right weather. The second talks about the trip to Bimini.

    Bimini is a fine place to wait again for perfect banks crossing weather.

    1. Hi chuck, if you get Netflix, watch the movie dove about a 17 year old who circumnavigated in a 24 foot sloop. I'm sure you will have a successful journey.
