The crew got to sleep in since this was going to be
a short travel day. We wanted to be able
to get some work done around the boat and prepare for our crossing to the
Bahamas. However, excitement still had
us up by 5:30AM. We were at our final
lock by 8AM.

| I fixed the broken navigation light as best I could. The only lid that fit was a Fritos Cheese Dip lid. Guess what we had for snacks that day! |
 |
| Our last lock until we get to Virginia. |
We took OB into American Yacht Yard to top off her
diesel. It was a short trip from there
to our marina stop.
 |
| OBs slip among the giants. The boats in this marina made OB look like a dinghy! |
Todd gave OB a quick bath and checked all her fluid
levels. I did some necessary clean up
inside and topped off OB’s water tanks.
We looked over the final trip plan to the Bahamas, deciding to go with
our original plan of West End, Freeport, BS as our entry point.
One last look at the weather reports and travel
tools told us Wednesday was our day to cross.
It did demonstrate Thursday as an option, as well. It was an early to bed night with the clock
set for 4:45AM once again!
