Today we started our trip back to the States, a day later than originally planned due to some unexpected squally weather.
Today was a 40nm trip from Cambridge Cay to Highbourne Cay, where we are currently anchored. Wind was higher than expected (20-23 knots gusting to 27) and a little more on the nose so the last 10 miles we bashed to windward.
Tomorrow we head about 47nm across the 'White Bank' to West Bay on New Providence where we will probably spend two nights.
Early Friday afternoon we leave West Bay and head up the 'Tongue of the Ocean', through the NW Channel and across the 'Bahamas Bank'. We will exit the Bank near Gun Cay and then cross the Gulf Stream to Miami. The last leg will about 160nm and will take a little over 24 hours.
Then hopefully a little R&R in Coconut Grove after the trip!
