With The Grace of the Sea

Where we’re going – dan

It’s not easy and there’s lots of excuses to stay put, but “we’ve miles to go before we sleep” as Frost says, so we’re planning on leaving this amazing place tomorrow morning. We’re headed for the Bahamas. We probably won’t have internet until we get to Great Exuma so I’ll give a lay out of our itinerary now:

We plan on going to Great Inagua Island first which lies just off the Eastern end of Cuba about 140 nm from where are now. That should be a short overnight hop from here. Next we’re going to Acklins Island. On the way there we’re going to pass Hogsty Reef, which is one of the few true coral atolls in the North Atlantic. We plan on checking Hogsty out and if conditions are good we’ll stop and anchor. From Acklins we plan to run east along Long Island to tiny Conception Island, which is uninhabited and a National Park. From there we plan to head to Georgetown, Great Exuma where we hope to hook up with Susan’s children for Christmas.
