Before leaving the USA for a few months, we just wanted to re-cap the incredible couple of weeks we've had in Miami. The first picture is from the dinner before the big day, and prominently features Katherine Rayhorn. We were fortunate that Sarah's bff could join us in Miami for the whole event. She is a charming young lady, and welcome on the boat anytime too! The second picture is my lovely mother, Lydia with my son Thomas while we were waiting inline at the courthouse. The third is New Year's Eve and our cute and perky daugher Sarah. Then, that's my Cate and me getting ready to step out with Wayne.
What an incredible week and a great year.
The weather forecast is holding and we are in the final stages of preparation. Our cell phone is useless, our only way to stay in contact will be computer. We'll head to No Name Harbor tomorrow as planned, and cross on Wednesday. Our three-day weather window should get us to Chubb Cay, where we'll check in with customs and immigration. There is a specific procedure required, which includes flying a yellow "quarantine" flag until they check you out. Only the captain can go ashore until the paperwork gets started, so I should have plenty of time to read.
I played with the new GPS for a total of about 4 hours now, and it will be an extremely useful tool. We have charts galore and cruising guides and a full tank of diesel. We've got a plan. We've got the right weather. It's been a great trip and a great time in Miami, but now we are onto our ultimate dream destination!
