We made the crossing today to Bimini without any issues. It was close to 75 nautical miles and took 9 hours. The first hour we watched the sun rise, then it got a little bumpy for a couple of hours but by mid morning, it was clear that things were settling down and the rest of the way was pretty benign. We had some excitement enroute. As soon as we got into the gulf stream, I put out a line and within an hour had a 20# or more wahoo. Landing him was interesting in that the boat was moving and rocking big time. Got him up to the boat and gave the rod to Cindy. She had to back into the cabin, keeping the line tight so I could open the door to the swim platform and gaff him without falling overboard. Cleaned him up and we have a ton of fish to eat the next few days. The problem is, no more fishing until he's gone, because the fridge is full from all our provisioning. We came into a marina for the night. Pretty much had to so we could clear customs and immigration. Got that done late this afternoon, then got a sim chip for my phone for internet access and phone. The number to reach us until we re enter the US is 242-473-2799. Not sure where we will go next, the weather is supposed to blow pretty hard for a few days. may have to sit tight. Anyway, I feel like a seagull after eating too much fish tonight, but it was sure good.

Dawn this AM and we are underway

Nav screen this AM at dawn. The one on the letft is Cindy's IPad running Navionics, a crowd sourced data base that is outstanding. 

Not a lot of horizon, but I understand "navy blue", the colors were amazing.

Need Barry to identify this rig that flew over us yesterday

These crab pots are everywhere in the near shore and intracoastal waterway. We past a sailboat hung up on one.The remind me of a Wiley Coyote cartoon
