I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving : To reach the port of heaven , we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it... but we must sail, and not drift , nor lie at anchor.

West End to Bimini
So , it's Tuesday , July @7th , and we're in West End again , getting ready to treck back to Florida . Tomorrow morning we're heading to South Bimini ,get a good night sleep , then we head across the stream to No Name Harbor , the weather report calls for calm seas and sunny skies , going across the Gulfstream I'm not picky , as long as I don't get my ass kicked I'm good . Life is fantastic ...
We sat for a moment and just soaked up the peace of the night , the island dark and silent , the full moon glittering like a million stars on the calm ocean and “Quixotic” gently swaying . I cried when we weighed anchor , for turning the bow of our boat to sea didn’t promise the usual thrill of getting to explore a new island .
This was it . We are heading home ….
We arrived at Great Sale Cay last night and saw the most perfect sunset , not a cloud to mar the view , just awesome .We finished the evening off with a nice dinner of spear fished grunts (?)
We still got a couple of days to travel, and we take the time to reflect on an awesome trip .To say we had it all is an understatement, I don’t think I ever had better… And we got time to make plans for the year to come , all the new ideas and energy needs to be put to good use . They say you gotta have a plan , so you can get rid of it to free yourself for the life that awaits you . Looking back at the last year I have a hard time to keep my anticipation of things to come in check.
Cindy is polishing our isinglass and has this bright smile on her face .” I can see clearly now !!! “ she announces
.Isn’t this what this whole trip is about ….
