Tomorrow we hope to depart for our trip to the Bahamas. Barb did a lot of provisioning for the trip - we have food in the pantry and cases of pop, beer and water stacked on the floor in our boat. I purchased additional spare parts for the boat, garbage bags, a supply of toilet paper and holding tank chemicals ----- all the necessities to survive in a foreign country!



Canal to the Matthews home



Moor $tuff in on seawall at Matthews





What we need now - is good weather so we can start this trip! It will probably take us three to four days to position the boat on the east coast before crossing the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas 50 or 60 miles away.

Pictures are from our dinghy ride.
