We are really, really setting sail in just an hour or so. Peter has whittled down his list of tasks, and the boat is ready. The weather is gorgeous--sunny, wind 10-15 knots, waves at only 4-6 feet. We are heading to Las Palominos this afternoon and then setting sail for the Turks and Caicos at dawn tomorrow. That should be a two-day sail. After a brief rest, we sail for the Bahamas, probably San Salvador Island then Lucaya. After that, we will probably catch the Gulf Stream for the Chesapeake Bay. We have reservations at a marina in Baltimore. Close enough for East Coast people to stop by for a day sail or even a few days on board.
Another benefit of delaying our departure, in addition to an improvement in the weather, is that I saw manatees in the waters of the marina this morning. Unfortunately, they dove underwater before I could pull out my iPhone, and I couldn't find where they resurfaced. Thus, no photos!
