View Larger MapIt has been awhile.  We left Vero about 6:30 AM and motored down to Fort Pierce where we went out into the Atlantic to sail down to Lake Worth (Palm Beach).  It was a beautiful day with good winds and speeds up to 9 knots...fast for us.  Got into Lake Worth about 5:30 PM with Puff and hit the hay.  5 AM and we are on our way again with Winsome, Puff and Sandra Lee.  Puff had to replace an impeller in the middle of the Gulf Stream so we stayed with her to make sure she was OK.  On to the Bahamas and we (us and Puff) anchored out on the Banks.  An idealic night with no wind at all and no clouds.  The stars reflected off the water to completely surround us.  The next day we were off to Great Sale...there about noon and Winsome was there and we all had coctails on her that night.  The next day we was a nice sail to Allens-Pensacola, like great sale, an uninhabited island, and walked over to the ocean side.  Up again early to sail to Green Turtle Cay, getting there about 11:30.  We were supposed to anchor out to go to customs but we pulled into Black Sound.  Puff followed us while Winsome anchored out.  We got the last two moorings at Donnies.  He helped us moor and drove us in a golf cart to customs and immigration.  Very easy entrance into the country, paid our $300 for a cruising permit (180 days) and fishing license.  We are liking it so much that we are thinking about spending the next 2, 3, or 4 weeks here.
Lots of pictures but they will have to wait until better internet.
