After reviewing weather...

.... and talking to my trip advisers (thanks Mike and Scott) I'm leaving in the morning and will try to make it from here to Whale in the Berry's about 6 miles past Chub. About 105 miles by the time I clear here, head north a ways and then east. Considering the distance and the tide here I'll be out of here probably around 7:30 and it will be all day and the night getting in Wed.. If I'm making too good of time I'll slow down so that I'm going into Whale when there is good light.
I don't plan on Nassau since I'm well provisioned so will probably go from Whale to Rose just NE of Nassau and from there to the upper Exumas. Once in Whale thought I'll be slowing way down. I just want to get out of here before this next system than could keep me here another 4-5 days. It is nice but not that nice and if you have food out about 100 house flys will find you in under 2 minutes
.
After here I think it will be some time before I'll have Internet again so be patient,

P.S. Joe gas was $5.00 here. Not complaining as I only needed 5 gallons and glad they had it. Only this Marina sells gas and you go out to the street as they are also the only one selling to the vehicles on the island. Water was 40 cents a gallon but didn't need any (have a little over 50 gallons on board).
