Back in the Contiguous 48
Wednesday we left Nassau in the Bahamas and motored to Chub Cay, about 36 miles to the northwest. Anchored overnight and left early the next morning to transit the Grand Bahama Banks (again), about 86 miles to North & South Bimini, where we again dropped the hook last night. This morning we left about 6AM for our 2nd Gulf Stream passage. We did quite well, averaging over 7knots for the 50 or so miles.
We did have a Coast Guard boat approach us about 2/3's the way to Lauderdale. We gave them all of our particulars over the VHF radio and then they asked when was the last time we had a Coast Guard inspection. Of course, we've never been boarded, and we were truthful. Took them awhile to drop their inflatable, but then we were boarded by 2 nice young coasties who verified our documentation and that we had all of the Coast Guard required equipment aboard. Very polite and reasonably thorough. We got gold stars for compliance. :-)
Anyway, arrived Ft Lauderdale about 12:30 and after waiting to get through 2 bridge openings, we grabbed a slip in the Las Olas Marina where we'll the rigger inspect our sorry rigging. Kind of odd to be back in the US, at least mainland US, again.
