Tomorrow we set sail for the "Exumas", a group of islands south of Abaco. We are so excited to see some new places!! However, we've had to say good-bye to so many friends the past couple days. Most people are heading home now. The great thing about cruising is that we'll probably see our cruising friends in another harbor later on during our travels. Our 1st stop tomorrow is Lynyard Cay which is still in Abaco. We will wait for a weather window to cross to the Exumas from there. The crossing to the Exumas is just as big of a deal as crossing the Gulf Stream. The experienced cruisers who read this will giggle here but I don't care. These are still very new experiences for us & a 12hr passage is a big deal to us. I should say here to the experienced sailors who may be giggling...we do not have an auto-pilot, so we are hands on the entire journey. Scott has been studying the charts for several days, we reprovisioned the boat...we're ready to move on.
I'm not sure what the internet situation will be while we are in the Exumas...it definetly will be intermittent. :( I will update the blog as much as possible so I hope you'll all stay tuned!! So many adventures on the horizons....

Be safe. Travel and capture that open peace....
I have been following your blog from the beginning. I live in Connecticut near New London where you bought Malaki. You beat me to it. I am going to retire this year and have been looking for a IP38 or Catalina 42. How have your liked your IP? I don't hear of any real problems on your blog. You are having the trip I want to have soon. We will snowbird from Ct to Tampa area after retirement. Have been sailing of and on most of my life. It's time for the nice boat and change of lifestyle with retirement. Your blog is a great chance to see where we plan to go. Is it true you never sailed before this trip? Wow. Thanks for the great blog to follow.
