4 April - Day #31. Last day to do errands before our crossing tomorrow. Make a West Marine run for a Bahamas courtesy flag. Then walk to a Radio Shack for a DIN connector. Love the dinks new fish finder. I mounted the transducer a little too low so at speed we get a rooster tail--just like a jet ski. At 1720 we move Nellie towards the south end of Peanut Island (Palm Beach, FL). There's nothing like Peanut Island on a sunny afternoon. Tents are set up on the beach. Boats are everywhere. Radios blaring. A cruise ship pulls away from the dock and into the middle of this mob scene. It all seems strangely ordered. I guess the only thing new to the scene is us. Everyone else knows the rules. After a quick foray into the Atlantic we drop the hook just south of the inlet. Early to bed. 8nm today: 1032 total. DBH
