Sailing Again

Debbie and I returned to Bellaluna in October and spend an enjoyable month getting her ready to sail after being shut down for the summer.  We have had her moored at our friends Tom and Betty's house in Palm City, FL.  Great location, Tom's pilot hawk eyes on it, well protected and easy access to the ICW and the Atlantic ocean.

We had been watching the weather for a crossing of the Gulf Stream for about two weeks and finally got a good conditions report.  Now down the St. Lucie River to the Intracoastal Waterway, to Lake Worth, (Palm Beach) out to the Atlantic to the Bahamas West End and arrived at Old Bahama Bay Resort.

Laundry day on the ICW.  From mangroves, to mansions and condos and water fun…
