We are sitting (anchored actually) on the southern edge of Key Biscayne with the intent of rising early tomorrow morn to head across the Gulf Stream to Bimini, the first and closest of the Bahamas islands. There are several boats anchored nearby and we are all jockeying for position in the anchorage like runners lining up for a race. It's a good sign in that the other boats read the weather forecast and came to the same conclusion to cross tomorrow. You don't mess with the Gulf Stream with any north winds, at least not if you want to be comfortable. No north winds tomorrow is the weather mans call.
Are we nervous? Yes. Will we sleep well tonight? No. Will we eating conch fritters and swinging back cold ones tomorrow night celebrating our hopefully successful crossing? Tune in later for the answer. Wish us luck.
