Our sail back to the US from the Bahamas was uneventful. We left Green Turtle Cay headed for St Augustine FL on a morning that was so calm we could see every blade of grass in the water beneath us! It was a nice send off from the Bahamas and a reminder of how beautiful it is!
We exited Powell Cay Channel and finally got into some deep water after being in about 20ft the entire month of our Bahama stay. It was slow going for the first day as we were pushing about 2-2.5kt of current! But we had an amazing sunset. No green flash though!
We saw a few passing ships at nice but it was pretty quiet out there. On the second day we finally started to get a current assist! Woohoo! At some point this day we must have been in the Gulf Stream, but unlike our previous experiences it was not horrible! 🙂
After one more night we finally saw the shores of Florida before us! Home at last after about 6 months out of the country. It was a nice feeling to be back! We got into the St Augustine Municipal Marina about 9am and breathed in some of that USA air.
