We have closed the circle on our Winter 2022-2023 Cruise.
We left North Carolina on November 1st going to South Carolina then onto Florida. After Florida we made the jump to the Bahamas. We spent several months in the Abaco's, moving down to Eleuthera in the Outer Islands then to the Exuma's. From there we made the jump to the remote Jumentos/Raggeds. Leaving the Raggeds we moved up to Long Island then out to Conception Island for the first time. We then made a several day passage back up to Eleuthera then back to the Abaco's. Our final leg was a four day passage from the Abaco's to Beaufort North Carolina arriving May 11th.
During the trip we were able to reconnect with friends we had made in previous years and make many new friends. Among the highlights were Christmas and New Years at Green Turtle Cay, the Five F's Festival at Little Farmers and once again the Valentines Party in the Raggeds.
We traveled 2291 nautical miles or 2636 statute miles. This is the approximate distance between Boston and Los Angeles but traveling at about six miles an hour which is about the speed of a bicycle.
We have been spending the last week at a friends dock getting prepared for the Summer 2023 Cruise. The plan is to sail up to Maine. From there we plan to take some time off the boat to visit our property in South Dakota and finish some projects there.
