Bahamas Crossing...Not So Fast!

Well, the winds shifted to the NNW Wednesday night...John got up at 2:45am Wed to check on the weather and went back to bed!

For the unitiated, the north running Gulf Stream does not like winds from the north. It has been compared to rubbing a cat's fur from the tail forward; the waves really stand up on end.

Wo we departed Rodriquez Key and had a delightful cruise up the coast and cut through Angelfish Creek into Biscayne Bay. We are now in Boca Chita State Park, a place we stopped at and loved back in November. Looks like the next crossing 'window' will be Monday. We'll make our way north to West Palm and see what happens.
