I know I know I have been very lazy about giving everyone an update so here goes. We went into Nassau but only stayed 2 days................nothing but a big, dirty city. We left for the Berry Islands on Friday, making it to Chub Cay. We kept an eye on the weather because of the storms heading East and decided not to dilly dally. We left the following morning for Bimini and Alicetown. By now the storm was predicted to affect the Gulf Stream and Atlantic by Sunday night into Monday. We decided to make a run for it. We left early on Sunday and headed for Ft. Lauderdale. The winds were in our favor all day and as we got closer to Florida decided to continue further North. We made it to Lake Worth about an hour before the skies turned ugly. The winds picked up over night and there were thunderstorms and hurricane warnings. By Tuesday most of the weather had eased up and we knew the Intercoastal was a narrow body of water with little fetch. We headed North to Ft. Pierce, had a very nice dinner and talked with Kevin. He and Jeanne are meeting us in St. Augustine on Saturday morning.
We had a long day yesterday getting into Cocoa Beach in time for dinner.
Today we are on the water again, the winds are still strong but Red e Tug o can handle them.

I am so glad to hear that you are on this side of the Atlantic! The way this weather has been, I was afraid you were going to be stuck in the Bahamas all month--wouldn't that have been hard to take ;-)
Have a safe trip home, hope you get here before we leave! Elinor
