We moved into the head of Abraham Bay to clear into the Bahamas! Now we're getting close to home! Thank goodness we are a 34' boat (the only time other than our mooring fee at home), it's $150.00 permit fee, not $300. for a boat over 35'. Whew!

We were only here for 3 days, but we have received so much love! We met Antoine, Akeesha, Fire, JR and Tiffany on S/V Frodo (a Golden Hind), and Rosie!

Rosie is an angel! She didn't have milk, bread, ice, cheese, tomatoes, fruit, but said she would fill two gallon jugs and make ice for us. She also called around to see who's making bread. When we showed up the next morning, she said that Winefred baked bread this morning! Fire took us to her place and was our tour guide!

Winefred is going to make potato bread next....this is one of the biggest 'summer' potatoes we've ever seen!

Thanks Mayaguana...we love you!

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
