Sunny beautiful warm day in Miami as we decide when to leave the United States.  Weather is a major factor when crossing over to the Bahamas.   We need winds that will fill the sails, waves that are gentle, and a strategy to make use of the Gulf Stream that moves from south to north as we head west to east.   Sounds confusing and a little scary, and it is.  We feel we are prepared.  Bentley has final paperwork signed by a Miami veterinarian, new camera, beer, wine, canned goods, toilet paper, toothpaste, extra batteries, and so many other things that are hard to find or are too expensive over there.   As of right now we will leave tomorrow afternoon, so early in the morning we will buy our final supply of fresh fruits and vegetables and bread and meat.

Last night our neighbors...the huge motor yacht..by the way there are two yachts in front of the house, had a wedding.  We were able to listen to some parts of the vows and listen to the music and laughter of the people attending. It didn't keep us awake, however, I was up by 4:30 and the music was still playing.   Happiness is every where!
