Christmas Crossing To Grand Bahama Island

 
Arriving in Palm beach, we cleaned the boat, fiiled the tanks with expensive Florida marine diesel, called everyone with Christmas wishes and turned in early.  Cruising is all about catching "weather windows" so Christmas Day, we departed the USA for Grand Bahama Island knowing a Cold Front was following the next day.  The forcast winds and wave height would have made the crossing very uncomfortable,
 
 
 
Lake Worth inlet -- heading east against inbound traffic.
 


Loofing back throught the inlet -- last chance to turn around -- Nope!!




This is what the North Atlantic looks like with a good "weather window".  Perfect !!


Florida and the high rise apartments getting smaller as we head east !!
