After being pinned down in Savannah for quite a while from bad weather, we finally have a good weather window to make the crossing from Thunderbolt, GA (suburb of Savannah) to Freeport, Grand Bahama. We had a crew member join us yesterday, Abe. He and his wife found out about a hull slot opening for a Vision 444, came to meet Sue and Mira in Oriental, NC for a tour and to hear about our experience, and decided to jump on the open hull slot!
Welcome to the Vision Family Abe and Anna!
Abe has been on standby as we have all collectively waited for good weather. That storm that came up the coast was creating 30-40 knt winds and 12-15 ft waves! That is finally passed and the weather will be a little bumpy, but we have great reaching winds forecasted the whole way there. Should make for a fast sail if that forecast proves true.
We expect to arrive in Lucaya (the non-commercial port right next to Freeport) around mid-day on the 22nd. We'll explore there for a few days and move on, probably to Nassau, where I have to see the US Embassy about getting a new passport. UGH!
I'll add another post soon to cover what we did in Savannah and add one once we arrive in The Bahamas.
