Headed down to Great Sale Cay to stage up for our crossing back to the Estados Unidos.
According to the weather reports, the conditions were favorable for crossing the Gulf Stream on Friday and Saturday. Leaving Thursday night and crossing the stream Friday would afford calm conditions but virtually no wind hence we would have to motor all the way to Florida. Not looking forward to that long motor sail and also not wanting to get the ship ready for blue water (hauling dinghy onto foredeck is a major pain in rear side) while nursing overhangs from the Spanish Cay party – we opted to wait until Friday Night before heading off. The forecast for Friday called for more wind with the only negative that it would really pick up on Saturday night. Oh well, we’d be well tucked into to a mooring in Florida by then (famous last words). Most of the boats left Great Sale Cay on Thursday night, Querencia and Innisfree and a few other boats stayed on.
