It's Time! We cross the Gulf Stream Tomorrow....I think!

     The weather gods are smiling upon us!
     We have been keeping a sharp eye on the winds/waves and gulf stream activity and it would seem tomorrow will be a good time to attempt to cross to the Bahamas.
     For you boaters who haven't discovered it yet there is a great AP called "Windy" which uses NOAA weather data in a unique format that allows you to visualize the wind/wave/swell weather patterns.  No more iso bar lines to try an interpret.  It will even pattern clouds/sea surface temperature in a visual way. I have been following it for a couple of weeks and a week ago it predicted 2 foot waves and winds less than 8 knots for this saturday....Tomorrow! The prediction hasn't changed for a whole week and checking on the NOAA site confirmed the prediction.
     We have all major systems functional and Beth has charged up every electronic appliance. She has our passports, dogs vet papers, all listed in duplicate along with the entrance cruising fees neatly filed in a binder for the customs and immigration, and most importantly has every nook and cranny filled with Bacardis, Tullymore Dew, Gin, Vodka, french wine, Coors banquet beer and girly man beer....coors light....(Oh!...and of course some food.)  Yes.....There will be a p.a.r.t.y in the Bahamas!
     Excited and ready to say goodby to Dania Beach, we plan on leaving at daybreak.
     Since we don't know when we will have wifi connection to up load the blog and pics the posts may be somewhat spotty.  However you can always see where we are by clicking on "Spot" at the top of the blog.  You can even get a google picture of our location.
     We will keep you posted!
