Hi, after lots of planning, preparation, and anticipation we are looking to cross on July 4th. We have a 280 Sundancer with twin 4.3s and will run 20 to 30 knts. We plan to leave Lake Worth inlet the morning of July 4th and head to West End and then on to Lucaya. After a few days in Lucaya we plan to spend a week in the Abacos returing on Sat July 14. This being our first trip to the Bahamas and Abaco, we are looking for a partner for part or all of the journey to West End and beyond. Thanks, Rick on Silver Lining.

Not heading over then, the boat is already in the Abacos but I would suggest that unless you need fuel I would skip West End and just go on to Lucaya. You will be on the bank and at 20 to 30 knots you will only add about one hour to the crossing. You can clear customs at Port Lucaya and begin your vacation.

We are still planning to cross on the 4th. Anybody else going?
