Last day in Fort Lauderdale - we have a weather window and we're heading across tonight. We've had a loooong stay here, and got lots done (WestMarine, Sailorman, Sailrite, Boaters' World, Bluewater Books, etc. This is a terrible place), and spent January, February, March and April's funds. Good to get that out of the way, don't you think? We're totally stocked and stowed, of course there's still a bunch of jobs to do, but we're off. Never let work spoil a good weather window.

I'll let Randy provide the details about the itinerary when we get there, but we'll check in in Lucaya, stay overnight, and head for the Berry Islands the next day. There are several boats heading out tonight, so we'll be travelling in company with Paul and Denise on Vixen, Bill and Leona on Voyageur C, and Heather and Ray (and Abbie) on Sea Holly. The moon is just past full, and the weather is looking good, so it should be a pleasant crossing. We've been sitting in one spot for so long, there has been some discussion about needing mal-de-mer meds. We'll see how it goes.

Here's some recent (and not so recent) photos for your entertainment.

(We finally got our Christmas packages.)
