On the Move

The 17th St. Bridge, which we have driven over and now , finally, passed under....so close to getting away to the Bahamas.....soon......we hope!
Our gateway to the Bahamas - just waiting for weather window now.....

Returning to Lake Sylvia to await our weather window....so good to be anchored and feel the breeze all around us after being tied to a dock in the shade of a building for 3 weeks. Hallaleua!!

Today Esperanza was given a clean bill of health (after paying said bill!) and we motored down the canal and finally under the bridge to the channel that takes us to the Atlantic! We wanted to do a test run so we went to the mouth of the Harbour - so good to feel the salty breezes on our faces!! Everything seems to be running good , so now it's just waiting for that weather window.
I am still hoping to show Ruth the Bahama waters, let the Gods shine on us so we can get across before she has to leave for the cold north. Wish she could stay - she has learned so much, and has become an excellent first mate.

  2. Hope you get to the Bahamas tomorrow.... Let me know how you make out and when you will be heading back to Florida. I will make plans to head to the Bahamas to be your company to get Esperenza back to Florida.
