Leaving the beautiful Bahamas. Now underway from Eleuthera Island to Beaufort, NC (USA). 650nm and hopefully arrive in 5 days. There is bad weather in the forecast north of the Virginia Maryland area for later. Hence, we try to make headway north now and have enough waiting time on hand for the next weather window heading to the Chesapeake.
On our way to North Carolina

This is part of school’s physical eduction program here in France. Second graders with their Optis getting towed to their sailing area.
It’s a windy day and we are happy to be in port when this group of singing kids passes our dock while the wind is gusting 30.
It does not look so windy on the photo, but trust me it’s whistling and howling in the marina.
Are we back from the far side of the moon?Are we back from the far side of the moon?
When Apollo astronauts circled the Moon, communications were cut off with Earth every time the command module passed behind the Moon. This is because the Moon itself blocks radio signals, preventing communication when it comes between Earth and any spacecraft.
We had radio silence too. We neglected our blog for a long time. Too much boat work and enjoyed a wonderful summer with our grandkids onboard. It didn’t feel like blogging – sorry.
Today, we prepared the boat for sailing to the Bahamas. It will not be an easy sail. As always you have to leave late in the year in order to avoid tropical storms. This time “Nicole” is coming up north right now as I am writing – even though she is inland, Nicole has a strong, negative effect on the Atlantic weather patterns.
Our departure is planned for 0500h on November 12. We plan to arrive at Cape Eleuthera Marina Nov 18.
Should work out.

Alles Gute und hoffentlich wird es nicht zu windig! Viel Spass
All the best for sailing to the North!
