Ken and Patina have stayed in Staniel Cay and had a leisurely time that included fishing and general low-key out island life.
Will arrived back onboard yesterday (Sunday). They had a farewell dinner with John and Barbara aboard Bamboushay. They plan to leave at first light and proceed from Big Majors Spot near Staniel Cay in the Exumas and head directrly for Nassau on New Providence Island. Hoping for a 75 nautical mile broad reach sail in 15-20 knots wind. On Tuesday the plan is to sail from Nassau across the northern portion of the Tongue of the Ocean through the Northwest Channel to the Great Bahama Bank where the plan is to anchor near Northwest Shoal. On Wednesday they plan to cross the Great Bahama Bank westward to the vicinity of North Rock near North Bimini Island. That would put them about 55 nautical miles from the Florida Coast. The weather is not looking favorable for a crossing at that time but they will be poised to take advantage of the first good weather window to get across the gulf stream. Stay posted as the SPOT notices come in to tell of their actual progress!
Fair winds and following seas!

Hope you are safely at anchor in Bimini and ready to jump tomorrow if the weather is good. Be safe.
