PICTURES TO COME***
After a "rocky" 30 something hour sail back from Nassau, Bahamas we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.
The wind was favorable and we were pushed by a consistant 20knot tail breeze the whole way across the Florida straights.
The weather man was officially on the piss when he forecast this week (starting May 1st) as it has been the complete opposite of what he said. Ever since we have arrived in Florida there has been nothing but sunshine and intense heat! Not the expected thunder and lightening! No complaints!
Las Olas marina is our home for the next week...nice.
Sadly, this brings Dave and Fionas trip to an end. Back to Nz on the 5th is their next chapter. How quickly did the last month go! We can't believe it and nether can they. They tell us they got home safe and are now settling back down into the "real world".
We all had a fantastic time in the Bahamas and made many memories that will never be forgotten. I better not mention how Dave casually drunk a bottle of baileys all to himself or how the girls came home legless and Sandra didn't remember the delicious dinner I made her the next day! or how Rob ate 3 + donuts in a few hours or how.... Hahaha (better stop, I still have a few months on board - that I want to survive!).
Now though, it's time for a detox; when those 4 get together; I tell you, boy do they go through some alcohol!
From here we head north, ICW (Inter Coastal Waterway) here we come!!
**UPDATE 15.05.12
