Hi folks,
We have been hanging out here for several days. We had sailed from Palm Beach to here direct, avoiding the insanity of the South Florida ICW. Took us about 16 hours. Nice moon, wind light but pretty steady. Sailed most of the way, coming into Biscayne Bay around 10 PM. Saw about 10 cruise ships coming out of Lauderdale and Miami. Plus a couple more in Palm Beach. I had kind of written that industry off what with Covid but it appears to have survived.
We have done some more provisioning and some boat chores. Tomorrow and Saturday look promising for a crossing. Probably end up motorsailing in what should be light wind. Likely we will stop in Bimini for a couple nights.
Best, Charlie
Charlie, as someone who has only sailed on Lake Champlain and tacks primarily to avoid rocks or shallows, I'm curious what you have in the way of navigation technology. Charts and a compass, and GPS on your phone, obviously. Chart plotter? Anything else? And fair winds to you on the crossing! -- Arabella
