Time To Go

Today we cruise on to Grand Cay on the western end of the Abacos. And today the Stinsons leave us and move on to Port Lucaya. They will be there for a few more days where Scott will flats fish and Karen will shop! Our cruising mates, John and Lori on Nanita, left us yesterday and sailed on toward Grand Key. It is about 45 to 50 miles from the West End of Grand Bahama across the Little Bahama Bank which averages between 5 & 15 feet deep all the way (YIKES!). Since their sailboat has a 5' draft they made sure they left at high tide so there wouldn't be any issues with water depth. We have a 3' draft so should be o.k. but are leaving at high tide just for added insurance. We will catch up to John and Lori in a day or two. Will be at Rosie's Place at Grand Cay which is pretty remote and not sure if they have internet access. So...if you don't hear from us for a few days....not to worry....we haven't been lost in the Bermuda Triangle!!! Signing off for now in prep for the journey and to say goodbye to Scott & Karen.
