Early Uncle Randy has arrived

Riding to the rescue after my crew mutinied and left me here in Freeport, Randy arrived here around noon today, early, as usual.

We plan to head out around 6:30 am at first light. For those following our progress, or looking for us if we get lost, I have changed my mind again about our route. The route to the west of the Berry Islands across the Great Bahama Bank would have kept us in shallow water, but we would have had a 14 hour day tomorrow with only 11 hours of daylight. Instead, I have opted to go to the east of the Berry Islands, where we can have an eight or 10 hour day and anchor for the night at Great Harbor Key or, further south, at White Cay. Thursday, we should move on to Nassau. I’ll let you know when we are safely there.
