Nassau here we come...

We left the Governor's cut at 11 and a couple of miles into the ocean it was very rolly. 4 to 6 ft waves from the side. Sophia got very dizzy and felt miserable. We had a moment of doubt because we feared the waves would be worse once we got to the Gulf Stream. But as is always the case we went on. And it was good we did because the wind died even more, clocked to the east and the seas flattened.
We reached Bimimi and North Rock at 8, so no light thanks to Fedex (ship UPS), but the banks were flat, flat, flat. We had a peaceful night, Sophia slept and Juan and I took turns keeping watch. With the sunrise we entered the tongue of the ocean, also flat. As I write we are passing the Berries on starboard and are heading to Nassau. Sophia is taking navigation lessons from Dad.
The morning is glorious and it will be mid 70s! I can hardly believe it!
