Countdown To Launch !!

So great to be back in the water!! The Military Fort behind Malaika

     So, the time has been set for 11ish am tomorrow morning to launch Malaika towards Lake Worth, Florida. Once we get there, as soon as there is a weather window we will set sail to cross the gulf stream & reach our 1st destination, The Bahamas. Woo Hoo !!  I think I may be losing my wifi access for a few days. (Thank You SOOO much to Greer & Aaron from SPYBO Marine for lending me your wifi card the past couple of days!) We are going "outside" (out in the Atlantic, about 20miles off shore) for the trek to Lake Worth. I'll try to post blogs as we travel from the Iphone. This is so exciting!
   It has been so awesome to be back on the water. The marina is great because of all the ammenities but it can't compare to the feeling of being on anchor or a mooring ball. The little waves rocking the boat, lulling us to sleep. Sooo nice. There were dolphins next to the boat this morning when we were having our coffee. Jib seems to like it too. He's been running around the boat much more than he ever did at the marina. Almost too confident---one of us is always watching him because falling in is probably inevitable. Still trying to get him to go to the bathroom on his little patch of astro-turf. He's not really going for it yet.
  We're about to dinghy into town to do some last minute errands, I'll write any time I can!! Stay tuned to hear about our biggest sailing yet.
Love & Miss Everybody!!
XXXOOO
