Tavernier Key

We found our buddy boat for the crossing!  They pulled in last night and Phil dinked over to talk with them . They are heading over on Sat. too!  They took off this morning to Rodriquez Key and we will meet them there. Yea!
    Phil took off this morning to Marathon to pick up the new transmission heat exchanger...poor guy 80 miles in the Dink in 2 days!!!  By the time he got back and put the new one on it was 4:00 before we could head out.  The ride in the Atlantic was great.. slight chop 1 to 2 foot waves.  As we were heading to Rodriquez Key we looked over towards Tavernier Key, which is an island 3 miles from Rodriquez and low and behold we see our buddy boat anchored! He thought he was at Rodriquez Key. We pulled in with him and it actually is a very nice anchorage.  I knew there was a reason Phil liked him so much, he's just like us! We got here about 7:00 pm, just in time for sunset.
    The plan tomorrow is to pull anchor at 6:30 am and head to Bimini!  We are excited  and I'm a little nervous.... Kinda not knowing what we are doing and where we are headed next is a little scary to me.  We are thinking about not going to the Berry Islands and going straight on to the Exumas. Only Capt. Phil knows for sure!  All is good!!

    The weather looks great for the crossing. Winds out of the SE at 5-10 with a 2-4 ft sea condition. You should fly across the gulf stream. I am sure you will not have any problems on the crossing. The Captain is very preapred and you are on a Defever.
