The parade started at 2 am. Boats, one after the other left No Name Harbor in Key Biscayne, to start crossing the "stream" A flurry of radio activity the night before. Everyone trying to make sure they have the latest weather reports from St. Chris. (Chris Parker) to decide whether to cross today or not. We decided to skip Bimini and sail straight through to Great Harbor in the Berry Islands. There is supposed to be a front coming though tomorrow morning with North winds of 20-25 kts. The anchorage in Bimini is poor and we didn't want to end up in the marina waiting for the weather to change. So, with that in mind we left at 5am. We will cross the banks at North Rock this afternoon and evening. We expect to be there around 4 in the morning. We, as in UNABATED, Charisma and 2 or 3 other boats.
