Goodbye Miami, Hopefully Hello Bahamas!


No Name Harbor in Key Biscayne

The time has come!  We plan to be out of this anchorage at 3am to leave for crossing over to the Bahamas on tomorrow (Thursday) and continuing straight through to Nassau hoping to be there around 8am on Friday.  We have dealt with some serious cold this week with night time temps down to 37 degrees and highs only in the fifties.  That is cold when you are on a boat on the water with wind gusts up to 32 knots! And that is in a totally enclosed harbor! The wind quieted down today so the ocean should be fairly calm.  So calm in fact that we will probably have to motor due to no wind prediction.  Better that than too much wind! 

Since we have no idea how much we will be able to get wifi this might be the last blog entry for a while.  We hope to get into a marina in Nassau but with approximately 50 boats crossing tomorrow there might not be any " room at the inn."  If not a blog entry, I might send a brief email saying we made it so all you "worry warts" don't have to worry about us over the Christmas holidays.

Speaking of Christmas, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 


We wore our winter clothes so you would not feel so bad!  I wish that was the only reason.
