November 30, 2007 we packed up and left Wind Mill Marina in Hilton Head, SC for West Palm (est. 390miles). What is interesting here is that the whole marina is held up by a water lock. We had to be lowered some 15-18 feet to the river. |

A few hour later we pulled the anchor and sailed down to Guana Cay. We hooked a mooring ball for the night and ate on shore at a restaurant. | Guana Cay |
In the morning after Breakfast we pulled anchor and motored over to Mon-O-War Cay. The cove was too shallow for our keel; we anchored out and dingyed in to a public dock. We took a few hours and had a great walk over the island. |

After lunch on board we motored over to Hope Town. The light house at Hope Town has been photographed and painted by numerous people. We stayed at Harbor Town Marina for 24 hours. A great meal and tour of island. | Hope Town |
The next afternoon we left for Marsh Harbor. The trip was about 7 miles. This is where the boat will be for the next six months. Some people just have a bigger sand box :) | Marsh Harbor |
