Today we finally got a weather report from Chris Parker telling us that winds may be more favorable to cross the Gulf Stream.
So time has come to leave Coconut Grove Sailing Club. These have been incredible folks who opened their arms to us since December 5.
Let me tell you about that day. We left the boat at Another marina and rented a car and drove to the sailing club since we could not get anyone to answer the phone. Jerry parked the car and sauntered in to find someone to talk to. He immediately met Lauren the general manager who said no mooring balls were available. You guys know Jerry so he persisted telling her that he was surgery and needed to be in a secure place. Well she called for dock master and voila we had a mooring ball.
Hmm angels working again! We have grown to love them and promise to be back.
The Orange Bowl Regatta is going on now so we have had privilege to see accomplished kids sailing their hearts out.
The best part of cruising is the people you meet and the friends you make. We met a lovely couple who cruised the Carribean. She just happens to be an artist. The card is her Bon voyage gift. It will be framed Becca!
We will be leaving from an island just off Biscayne Bay called No Name harbor for an early start to arrive to the Bahama Bank in daylight.
we imagine it will be crowded but at least we will see the Miami fireworks.
Happy New Year!
Next post hoping to be some pics of crossing and our new Adventure.
