Indian Summer

This voyage would be different from the last two in 2012 and 2013. We would be moving the boat to a different area and not returning to our "home port" in Maine. Actually our real home port is New Orleans but we haven't been back there since we sailed away in the year 2000 for Norway. Now starts a new pipe dream, sailing to the Bahamas. It will include a trip down the Eastern Seaboard, stopping at a few selected ports, until we reach Florida where we will cross over to the islands. Since I have never been there, it will be a new experience for me. I'm in no hurry to get there, so this adventure will take a few months done over a period of two years. First I plan to put together a crew to sail partway down the East Coast where I will park the boat. The next year we will finish going down the coast and cross the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas at West End where we check into customs. Once we clear customs, then on to the Berry Islands and over to Nassau. After that, we will go south to the Exumas.
