Bahamas Bound!

1/30/2018

​Current Location:  Atlantic Ocean
Miles Traveled:  0
Weather:  Partly sunny, windy, high 40s
Highlights: Left Charleston Harbor Marina at 7AM, headed SW (145 deg), with goal of reaching Bahamas in 60 hours, averaging 7 knots.  Northwest winds were stronger than predicted (30 knots), and waves much bigger than predicted (15-20 foot), so had a rough first day.  Logged 217 miles in 1st 24 hours, with top speeds over 18 knots surfing down some waves.  Dolphins playing right on our bow at times - must have thought it all fun and games.  1st night watch spent huddled inside with a visit every 30 minutes to the helm to check AIS and make necessary course adjustments.

Highlights: Last full day in Charleston, so went to WalMart for final provisions.  Banff came by around noon to finish securing the washer/dryer, and also help finalize AIS installation.  Filled up the diesel tanks, and buttoned down the boat for early departure in the morning.  Went to dinner at the Marina to celebrate last day, then back to the boat for early bed - big day tomorrow!
