6am

It's 6am and all is well. We had speeds last night up to 10knots under single-reefed mainsail and full genoa. As we were leaving it rained a bit but almost none since. While many folks in central Florida saw storms sweeping through yesterday, we had the fortuitous situation develop that allowed us to ride the coattails of the passing front. That was extremely good timing; a rarity for me.
The skies are very gray, temps warm & muggy, seas have diminished to about 1 meter. Geoff & Doug seem quite comfortable with this so far; brings back memories of the times we've sailed together many years ago.
We are now at 7.5 knots with 16NM to go to the West End of Grand Bahama Island. Once there we will clear in with Customs & Immigration.
