Bound for Russell Beacon

22 December 2007 | Somewhere in the middle of Great Bahama Bank
Time to leave Bimini
We're heading off for the Berry Islands with four other boats (seems like the flottila is growing) which is a small cluster of islands between Bimini and Nassau in the Bahamas. We're cruising with Saniti, Sucia II, Bowfix, and one other. We'll be crossing over a huge sand bank that's only about 10ft deep, crystal clear torquoise and some coral reefs here and there. It's a fairly long trip (about 57 miles) from Bimini to the Berrys, so we're going to drop the anchor about a mile south of Russell Beacon. Weather will be fine and clear with 5-7 knot winds and a full moon to light our anchorage tomorrow night. We won't be in range of any internet signal until we reach the Berry's. The next day we'll push on to the Berry Islands and in particular Chub Cay. There's a substantially renovated marina there with a good grocery store. We'll be needing the basics like milk and bread by then. Should have internet access there I would think so will update the blog, check emails and attempt to skype. Our aim is to be at White Cay in the Berrys for Xmas and meet up with our other boatie mates on Salt & Light for a pot luck on the beach. We bought a mother of an antennae before we left the States and hope to be able to pick up internet from Nassau or perhaps a super yacht that's cruising by. Fingers crossed.

About:
We left Australia on April 29, 2007 to start our 'cruising the world' adventure with an attitude that life's too short and waiting until retirement might mean the adventure never happens. Sam turned 15 this year and we hope these travels will stay with him for life...in a good way. [...]
Extra:
Also travelling with us is our Shih Tsu Milo, a seasoned boat dog all the way from Australia and an avid fisherman. He's always the most enthusiastic when we land a fish or when the bait net is cast. Actually, he's even enthusiastic when we haven't caught anything. He adores dolphins and runs like [...]
