2008/04/02, Little Bahama Bank, Bahamas
Picture was just taken as we cross the Little Bahama Bank.
This update will be sent by SSB radio. We are a long way from settlements.
We are motoring in near dead calm dodging squalls and thunderstorms. We should reach the Straits of Florida about 02:00 am April 3. After we leave the banks we must cross the Gulf Stream to Fort Pierce Florida. Large Atlantic swells which will start to reach us then could make the crossing interesting. Current ETA for Florida is 10:00 am. I will try to send periodic position reports. Click the Position Reports link to the right to view our progress.

Print screen that I took from Grand Bend's webcam a couple of minutes ago. As you can see, almost all the white stuff is gone.

Picture is a street scene in New Plymouth. It is April first after all! Our plan is to leave here early Wednesday morning and make a run for Ft. Pierce Florida. It should take from 24 to 28 hours. You can follow along on the position reporter. We will be traveling with s/v Cygnus. Other boats are also planning to leave for this weather window. If conditions are bad we will stop at Great Sale Cay in the northern Abacos.

Picture is if a menu from a small inn in the Village of New Plymouth. The Village of New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay is one of the areas settled by Loyalists in 1783. They once grew pineapples on the island but now it is primarily a fishing village. There is also an expanding tourist industry on the island.
