I have a new 2000 26X & would love to see the Bahamas. Palm Beach / Lake Worth is my home port. I'm new to this sailing life but, maybe by then, I might be of some local help. Let me know if plans start to look possible. Jack O'Brien "Gostosa III" WinkInc@bellsouth.net

Would love to go too!!
I'm just getting use to my Mac26X but I think I would like to give Bahamas a try. My schedule is very flexible as long as I have about a months notice. If you guys come up with a firm date you can count me in. Tim Bastian Zephyr's Aura Hixson, TN

Is West End a nice trip?
I have never been to West End. Is it a pretty fun place to spend a few days? Good anchorage? What's there?

West End
It seems to be the shortest distance to the Bahamas........as far as coming from the North to Florida. The little Bahama Banks is above Grand Bahama Island. Lucaya is just around the bend from West End......supposed to be a really nice marina. There are a lot of Cays to the North........My plan is to hit a different one each day.

How many days are we talking about?
How many days are we talking about? Also, are we going to flotilla over and back? I am looking at not more than a week or so max. What do you all think?

Check this Bahama trip out
This guy went from Calgary, Canada to West Palm Beach pulling his Mac26x then sailed from West Palm Beach to the Bahamas. Talk about a determined Trailer Sailor

I'm flexible on number of days. Weather may decide it anyway. Whether we all flotilla over and back or split into two or more groups (maybe one week / two week ? ) I suggest no less than two cross at any one time for safety's sake.

Anyone bringing their wife?
Is anyone bringing their wife or girlfriend (no joke intended)? My wife and I always sail together. I checked rates at Old Bahama Bay. For the summer, it will cost us for one night slip fee $66 per night. This is weekday rates. Showers are $10 if you are not staying in a slip. Normally, we anchor out most of the time. Are you all planning on anchoring our most of the time? Marinas are going to become very expensive.

Anchoring out and bringing wife
Chip I'll be bringing my wife and son. We prefer to anchor out. Less likely to be disturbed while sleeping that way and less expensive too.

Anchoring Out
Will bring my wife, if possible, for some or all of trip depending upon trip's and wife's schedules (she works). I won't blow dough on slips & showers if I can avoid it. Not having done this stuff before I can't speak from experience but, I lived in a tent for a month this summer in Wisconsin with no hookups and bathed in the lake.
