After an uneventful trip from Georgia down to Granada to pick up our delivery boat. A whirlwind couple of days getting her provisioned, checked out, and launched back into the water, we are underway back north. We have about 1700 miles to go, and that will take about 9 or 10 days.

It’s interesting the differences provisioning a boat for a week and a half when she is fully empty of food. You can not count on things as simple as having flour onboard. There is way more detailed recipe planning needed.

Our route is a 450 mile straight beeline from Grenada to the northwest. We’ll pass between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in the Mona Channel. The routing models then offer us a choice between the Old Bahama Channel, south of the Bahamas and north of Cuba, or a route traveling up through the Bahamas.

That is not a decision we have to make for a few days, by the time we get there the choice might be obvious as the weather situation for next week becomes clearer.
