Well, this trip was a 10 out of 10! The RV worked great, the boat was fantastic, and most importantly, our crew was the absolute best. Everyone did their part without complaint. That made light work for everyone and maximum enjoyment for all. Ms. Jenny did a great job with the food and Capt. Dan kept everyone safe. Our Bahamian friends were the best too. Thanks to all for a great trip!

We sailed back to the dock Friday afternoon, so we had time to pack most things up that night. This morning, we finished packing, cleaned the boat, and got on the road. The weather was good and we kept the RV moving all the way to Marianna, FL. We’re camped out for the night and will continue our journey home tomorrow. We expect to arrive sometime mid-afternoon, but kids will call with a more accurate ETA. All is well.

We made it back to Key Largo safely. We’ve refueled the boat and are now refueling ourselves. 

We had a great day snorkeling at the Sapona. Many of our crew jumped off the ship too. Great fun! The fishing at Gun Cay was incredible. We feasted on grilled barbecue ribs, beans, corn, salad, and pineapple. Afterwards, we prepped the boat for the crossing back to Florida. We left Gun Cay at about 12:30am. We’re now a couple of hours out. We sailed with one reef in with winds above 20 knots. As we have gotten closer to the U.S., the winds have calmed to about 10. All the crew pitched in and no one has gotten seasick – we’ve made sailors out of all of them!

Found a 38′ boat washed up and called the owner in Lexington, KY to hear the story. Caught loads of fish and explored the lighthouse. Moved from Honeymoon to the lee side of Gun Cay for a smoother and safer anchorage tonight. Had pork loin, rice, and vegetables for dinner.

William and Sam speared 3 fish while snorkeling earlier. They also caught a lobster but let it go since they’re not in season. Luke just caught a King Mackeral. We’re heading to Honeymoon Harbor at the north end of Gun Cay.

Checking the engines before getting underway today. Everything is A-OK. Going to Three Sisters to snorkel.

We all attended a church picnic with our Bahamian friends here in Bimini. Jerry and Diane Chapman from Ocean Springs were there as was Hugh Rolle, Hank Weech, Barbara, Bonefish Tommy, and others. Later, we went to another church festival. They had a DJ playing music and all kinds of fun games. Our guys also hung out at the beach, the pool, and the boat of course. Tomorrow we’re heading out for snorkeling on the reef at the Three Sisters and the wreck of the Sapona. We’ll be anchoring out for the rest of the trip, so the Internet may be unavailable at times.

Sam caught a nice Jack!
