After a little more than a week anchored off the uninhabited Plana Cays in the Bahamas, it is time to move on.

What does one do for a week on an uninhabited island? You hike miles of beaches with no footprints in front of you. You explore all kinds of interesting things the ocean has tossed up, seemingly just for you. You catch fish. You bird watch. You are surprised one morning when you wake up to a sister ship to your boat anchored a few hundred yards away, and discover they are old friends we haven’t seen in several years.

But like all great things, this great playtime comes to an end, and we had back to the coast of the USA. We lifted our anchor this morning, and set a course for Brunswick, Georgia which will be our base for a month or two while we get some boat projects done on Harmonie, and on some client’s boats.

We are now sailing in easy comfortable weather through the Bahamas. It will be about 4 or 5 days before we make landfall in Georgia. Right now we are under a full moon that is sliding in and out of the clouds. Winds from behind us at about 14 knots. Seas calm and comfortable.

If we believe the weather forecasts, the trip should be mostly just like this. Time will tell!
