New Feature: Map!

I've been wanting to add a map to the blog for a while and being stranded in Miami has given me that chance. The map gives a good idea of where we've been and where we travelled on the ICW verses on the "outside" - the Atlantic.  The map is interactive in that you can click on the pins to see the location and zoom in and out. I'll update the map as we travel so you can see where we have visited and the route we took to get there! It's not a live map so don't assume we're at the last pin.




Once we're in the Bahamas (and have internet) I will update the map. Speaking of which, here is the latest, and subject to change, Bahamas crossing plan: We arrived at No Name Harbour this evening and man is it peaceful - we didn't realize how loud the highway was at the last anchorage! We even saw stingrays jumping out of the water on our way here! So far the wind tomorrow is light and will be coming from the east (so hitting us in face the whole trip). We're going to leave No Name Harbour early - around 3-4am and hopefully will be travelling with our new friends on Echo Echo. We will catch the Gulf Stream to the north of Bimini and get onto the Bahama Bank where we'll anchor overnight, the crossing should take us about 10hours. Then Tuesday morning we'll get up early to cross the Bahama Bank and anchor overnight near Bullocks Harbour where we can clear customs. From there we'll continue to explore the Berry Islands!
