The timing was perfectly awful. We said that we would leave Green Turtle Cay today at 0930. At 0915 it started raining and is has been pouring ever since. Both Libby and I got soaked standing watch at the helm.

Anyhow, we are in a group of six boats, all headed back to the USA. Tarwathie, Ariel, Wind Chaser, Eagle's Wings, Just Because and Odyssey are the six. We'll head to Great Sale Cay tomorrow and cross the Gulf Stream Sometime in the Wednesday-Friday window.

A sad part of this is that as of today we are officially in the northward migration mode. I'm already feeling a little guilty about that. If I had done my research homework in a timely way, we might well have been heading south with our friends on Raven toward the Caribbean. Shame on me.

It's not completely impossible that we change our minds once again and head south, but that's not probable.

So what is our summer plan? I want to spend 2-3 weeks in Washington DC in June seeing the sights. After that, Libby said she would like to sail to Maine again. After that, who knows? We could head for Bermuda and from there sail for the Virgins.
