Bahama bound ?

We have been in Boot Key Harbor in Marathon for two weeks now. We are stocking our supplies and getting ready for the Bahamas. We have been waiting here for a weather window to cross the gulfstream and it looks like monday we will leave here at about noon and arrive in Bimini early tuesday. It looks that about six or eight boats are leaving about the same time as us which will be good to have company out there. We were going to sail about 50 miles north to Rodriguez Key and then leave from there very early tuesday, but I would rather get out into open water mid day go thru the night and arrive early instead of getting up at 3am and leaving. We think we have enough diapers and baby food for two months. The people at the grocery store thought it was a little odd when I bought two full carts of baby food. We now have refrigeration which means I wont have to be buying ice all thru the bahamas and we can keep meat frozen. We will be out of contact while there unless we get wireless here and there so dont worry when we dont answer our phones. We will be able to call out with skype but no incoming calls. We also bought an emergency positioning beacon so we can always get help no matter how remote we may be. Heres a picture of Josh trying to climb a tree.
