Next Stop: Fort Lauderdale
Lyford Cay has been lovely. We connected with friends and had a wonderful time running through the neighbourhood looking at the houses of Sean Connery, Ted Rogers, Peter Nygard, and others. We have decided to skip Port Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island and return to Fort Lauderdale to haul the boat out for its annual inspection, clean the bottom, etc.
We plan to leave early tomorrow morning, sail across the shallow Great Bahama Bank north of Mackie Shoal, then across the Florida Straits to Lauderdale. The weather looks good, and we hope to enjoy an incredible sail. We should arrive Monday in time for tea.
The Bahamas, despite its shallow water, is a place that we have grown fond of. We were here for a month on our northbound journey, and this time, we have been here 6 weeks.
