Sooooooooooo, instead of heading to Harbor Island we decided to make for the good old USA, coronavirus and all. We would rather get back and have all our service work done with enough time to get to Ocracoke for the month of May than have 3-5 days at Harbor Island but get delayed with boat work and miss time in Ocracoke. So we went from Spanish Wells over to Great Harbor in the Berry Islands on Thursday, March 12th. Then Friday, March 13th we went from the Great Harbour Cay to Bimini. Finally on Saturday we crossed back to Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Leaving Spanish Wells Thursday morning for the Berry Islands
Leaving Bimini and heading out Saturday to cross the Gulf Stream back to Florida
We had a good ride and even caught two Mahi
It was a great couple of months in the Bahamas. We experienced some expected things like beautiful water, friendly people, and some good fishing. We also experienced some unexpected things such as unusually windy weather this year (even according to the locals) and sadly more poverty than we had expected. We certainly will go back and hope to have more friends visit next time as we will be old pros next time around. For now, there are several boat projects we would like to accomplish here in Florida and then head to NC. The plan is to be in Fort Lauderdale for about a week for one set of projects and then make our way to St. Augustine for another round of projects that will likely take a week. I will be making my way to Pennsylvania to visit family while Keith is moving the boat to NC in the interim. For the summer we hope to go back into Canada, across the Trent Severn Waterway and into Georgian Bay and the North Channel again. I will keep everyone abreast of the progress of projects and our trip up the coast.
