Well we made it from Abaco to St. Augustine, Fl. It was a nice sail until the last 6 to 8 hours and then the front hit us and it was a bit rough, but Taravana and Alison held up great. Sleeping and moving north now. Will update more later...
Here is the update:
We left Marsh Harbour on Sat., Mar. 14 after putting Will & Todd in a taxi to the airport with First Lady. Sailed north and watched their plane fly by... Alison was waving like crazy, even got the American flag out in case anyone in the plane could see her waving! Sailed north and docked at the Green Turtle Club on Green Turtle Cay for the night - wonderful dinner inside a beautiful marina! Early the next morning, we took off for the US... great sail, smooth waters, fair winds!
First night at sea was uneventful EXCEPT for the shuttle launch at sunset - it was truly amazing to see in person...
Second day at sea, the skies got a little cloudy and the wind picked up, we saw a water spout behind us about 10 miles, then things got a little bit rocky that evening. Then we plowed our way in to St. Augustine the next morning and started motoring up the Intracoastal Waterway...
