After much preparation Adventure is provisioned with enough food and beverages to feed a crew on an aircraft carrier. We hauled and stowed all the food. Made several last minute trips to West Marine for some last minute gota haves. Today we took the dingy out to the pass to ensure we know where the shoals are. We have received many reports of vessels rubbing the bottom as the made their way in and out of St. Lucy pass. Since they all drew 5 1/2 feet and we draw 7' fully loaded we felt we should go out at West Palm or another deeper pass. After the recon, we feel comfortable we will be able to slide out St. Lucy.
We are throwing off dock lines at 0600. Our next stop is West End Grand Bahamas.
Seas are expected to be only 2 to 3 feet with winds out of the south. Should be a good ride.
