Passage Prep - Headed South
Nov 1
Agenda Set. Time to Prepare.
Our goal is to be in the Bahamas by mid-January. The tentative schedule has us leaving Urbanna right after Oyster Fest, heading to Hilton Head Island to visit Ken’s parents, then on to Jekyll Island GA, one of Georgia’s Sea Islands, and then to Ft Lauderdale. We will leave Bistari in Ft Lauderdale for three weeks while we spend Christmas with the family and Bistari gets new rigging.
Prior to leaving we have a check list of boat projects to complete.
