After a passage straight south from Brunswick, GA, we turned left, crossed the Gulf Stream and landed at Lucaya on Great Bahama Island. We arrived at midnight after 2.5 days of travel, covering 350 NM so we tied up at the Customs and Immigration dock and waited for them to arrive at 8:45 AM. This time, we’d done our homework in advance so we cleared in 25 minutes and continued to our friend Gills Taillefer dock around the corner to tie up at his private dock. We stayed three nights, completing a number of boat projects that we’d deferred in our haste to leave Brunswick to catch a favorable Gulf Stream crossing weather window.

Knowing that Ann Ison and Kerrie McEvoy were flying in to Nassau, Kevin Christiansen, Tom Warner and John Ison, departed Monday, January 22, arriving for the night at Little Stirrup Cay by nightfall after an exciting day sailing close hauled into 20-23kts east wind.
