T minus 2

Day #34: Happy Mother's Day. To celebrate we walked to the Bimini Sands Beach Resort for beer and seafood pizza. There we met Patty, a surgical nurse and her husband Jim, a retired Federal Agent. They're helping friends deliver their new 52' Hatteras from Charleston to Miami. The Hatteras burns 80 gallons of diesel per hour--ouch.

The evening's cocktails were aboard Gordie and Janie's 48' Grand Banks, Finlaggan. We'd first met them in Cambridge Cay several weeks ago. He was in the advertising business and it was his company that developed the 'Got milk?' campaign.

The forecast still shows Tuesday as the day to cross the Gulf Stream. 0nm today and 672nm down. DBH
