That's it, I'm heading south, way south. USVI, BVI, St Martin,
Antigua, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent, Grenada...

First we've got to get out of here and across the Gulf Stream without
getting beat up too badly.

Stay tuned.


You be careful, damnit.

Don't want you making the damn news. There's some pretty bad stuff out
there.


We do plan to be careful, very careful. With only a couple of notable
exceptions, the trip will be mostly island hopping in populated areas.

I'll post information on our blog site and position tracking sites
after we take off, hopefully next week.

Are you going south around Key West or taking the short cut under the
7 mile bridge.
Watch out for pirates, either at sea with guns or the ones ashore who
hold diesel nozzles ;-.)


There's actually a third choice under what is known as the "Channel 5"
bridge, near Matecumbe Harbor, about 20 nautical miles east of
Marathon. We'll probably go that way unless the wind blows all the
water out of Florida Bay, or we have some need to stop in Marathon.

Our typical route is Sanibel to Big Marco Pass, Big Marco to Channel
5, Channel 5 to the Gulf Stream and then over to Castle Rock, Chub Cay
and Nassau. From there we'll go south through the Exumas to the
Turks and Caicos, and then on to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico
and the USVI.
