We left Dinner Key Marina, stayed at No Name Harbour for one night to stage our 5am departure for the Bahamas.

Happy to be in the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas! THIS is why we left the dock!!!

Jan. 27th, 2014 – What a perfect Crossing!

Hello all,

We've arrived in Bimini!!! It was a PERFECT day! (Well, I thought so - maybe some would have preferred more wind.) At the very start of the day we still dealt with a few rollers, but they were soon "knocked down" by the southerly wind and we had a pretty flat sea for the majority of the crossing.

It was HOT here today. So much warmer than it's been in Florida. Now it's cooling down…which will be wonderful for sleeping.

And we WILL sleep well tonight! We were up before the alarm this morning…4:20am to be exact. We left at our scheduled time of 5am. I hope you were all able to view our track. There were MANY boats crossing today. Fifteen boats were anchored outside of No Name Harbor with us last night, and we saw numerous masts inside as well. We chatted with a few boat while we were out there today. Typically boats check in with one another to see how everyone is doing. It's nice to know you aren't alone out there!

We were able to see "land" again at 1pm. And upon arrival the water just got bluer and bluer. Is that even possible?? By the time we were in the channel on our final approach, the water was glowing it was so turquoise!

We are staying at Brown's Marina in North Bimini tonight. This, is why I have wifi. And I AM thrilled to have wifi!

Thank you ALL for the well wishes! I loved that so many of you took the time to wish us "good luck" and fair winds! It means so much to us!!! Thank you, thank you!!

Love and Kisses!!!
