Passerat genom Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia och Maryland och mött våren på vägen. Emellanåt har vi haft ganska kallt väder. Det har varit dagar med långkalsonger, överdragskläder, Mustojacka, stövlar, handskar, egentligen alla kläder på. Men också dagar med shorts så som vi vill ha det. Hade några blåsiga dagar då vi valde att ligga still i Carolina Beach där vi också passade på att fira en födelsedag.</span></p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I södra Norfolk passerar man Great Bridge. Direkt efter Great Bridge är det en sluss. Vi fick broöppning kl 11 på måndagen den 10 april och går därefter direkt in i slussen som enda båt. Slussar och går sedan vidare mot Norfolk. Vi läser sedan att slussen fick ett el-fel kl 12 och slussen var sedan stängd hela veckan. En sån tur vi hade att vi kom igenom som sista båt innan stoppet. Det var verkligen nära att vi blivit fast i slussen i fem dagar!</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Gjorde ett stopp i Norfolk hos Greta och Gary som är Port Officers för Ocean Cruising Club. Hade en trevlig sushi-måltid tillsammans. Vi hade några paket med delar till båten som vi fått skickade till deras adress.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Därefter har vi gjort ett stopp vid Deltaville Boatyard. För några år sedan landförvarade vi <i>Balance</i> här under orkansäsongen. Nu låg vi några dagar i deras jättetrevliga marina. Vi gjorde en massa jobb på båten för att få den klar inför försäljning.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Det börjar kännas lite speciellt när vi tankar diesel och inser att det nu är sista gången vi fyller på diesel. Det börjar bli ”sista gången” med en massa saker nu. Vi har ett par dagsetapper kvar till Annapolis där vår 11 år långa resa får sitt slut.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We have sailed from nice summer weather in the Bahamas and Florida and then north. Passed through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland and met spring on the way. At times we have had quite cold weather. There have been days with long underpants, coveralls, Mustojacket, boots, gloves, really all clothes on. But also days with shorts the way we want it. Had a few windy days when we chosed to lay still in Carolina Beach where we also took the opportunity to celebrate a birthday.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In southern Norfolk you pass the Great Bridge. Directly after the Great Bridge is a lock. We got the bridge opening at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 10, and then directly into the lock as the only boat. Locks and then proceed towards Norfolk. We then read that the lock had an electrical fault at noon and the lock was then closed all week. We were so lucky that we came through as the last boat before the stop. We really came close to getting stuck in the lock for five days!</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Made a stop in Norfolk with Greta and Gary who are Port Officers for the Ocean Cruising Club. Had a nice sushi meal together. We had some packages of parts for the boat sent to their address.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Next, we made a stop at the Deltaville Boatyard. A few years ago we stored <i>Balance</i> on the hard here during hurricane season. Now we spent a few days in their very nice marina. We did a lot of work on the boat to get it ready for sale.</p>

It's getting to be the "last time" for a lot of things now. We have a couple of days left to Annapolis where our 11-year journey comes to an end.</p>Staffan and Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09847994333782894912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940771868543853724.post-51340780753236187882023-03-25T02:21:00.000+01:002023-03-25T02:21:15.437+01:00From Florida to Georgia<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nbx-WERgx4A/ZB5BtCl_HiI/AAAAAAAACwA/JqyqTuaiWjQn8nLMLbJUxoQvwWZgg-SLACNcBGAsYHQ/s1700/IMG_3672w.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZQe8aLrr6s/ZB5BtqEI1rI/AAAAAAAACwE/a5OGrjCxleMQ96bKADd25dbIdvekfCypgCNcBGAsYHQ/s2053/IMG_3660w.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFhNnP1KCmdOGVFrgP4Mu-joAXPD3pdbYcRSiFM5y5gbYAsd_jlw1mK8Fxpym06pjU3iDLgC42sS55ATCTxnZ_RLIrh9sI_NJ4gKhAKgK3xRlMZ-1O6RCJeTsVfUYusRS0iMpEdsso0efNKaK-g9qE9jzAQT_dfKw8xouGOdBVZJ7GzXhf5lN74h3uLw/s1700/IMG_3672w.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1700" height="439" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFhNnP1KCmdOGVFrgP4Mu-joAXPD3pdbYcRSiFM5y5gbYAsd_jlw1mK8Fxpym06pjU3iDLgC42sS55ATCTxnZ_RLIrh9sI_NJ4gKhAKgK3xRlMZ-1O6RCJeTsVfUYusRS0iMpEdsso0efNKaK-g9qE9jzAQT_dfKw8xouGOdBVZJ7GzXhf5lN74h3uLw/w400-h439/IMG_3672w.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px;">(In English below)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px;">Ser på väderprognoserna att vi får dåligt väder några dagar framöver.

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">St Augustine räknas som USA:s äldsta stad med anor från 1500-talet. Trivsam stad med mysiga gator, mängder med butiker, gallerier, restauranger. Kanske lite turistiskt men det får man ta.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">En dag åt vi lunch med vår vän Pam. Pam var tidigare Port Officer för Ocean Cruising Club i Green Cove Springs där vi landförvarat Balance flera år. Det är så vi träffat och lärt känna Pam. Hon är nu inte längre Port Officer men numera en mycket god vän till oss. Green Cove Springs ligger inte så långt från St Augustine. Det tar knappt en timme med bil. Med båt tar det dock ca två dagar eftersom man måste följa St Johns River via Jacksonville. Båtvägen är alltså betydligt längre.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGXomCYvHZcMRt8-iOab-pX7Ql9SS9jFFif5lliXp_Wf7uC6mrvGflgt3W-Ay8gnBBAJY2amZd_Q7RPPFUkzvhaJJj3jUye5CpXLENZkQ5-WN0XNjQDJ_L8uFzvo8Z64EUxEdKnVDIpqzjsBvlXd8gdBtoXfWnfaMfFMzhcldImA27US4l5WjmXOLWw/s1700/IMG_3644w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGXomCYvHZcMRt8-iOab-pX7Ql9SS9jFFif5lliXp_Wf7uC6mrvGflgt3W-Ay8gnBBAJY2amZd_Q7RPPFUkzvhaJJj3jUye5CpXLENZkQ5-WN0XNjQDJ_L8uFzvo8Z64EUxEdKnVDIpqzjsBvlXd8gdBtoXfWnfaMfFMzhcldImA27US4l5WjmXOLWw/w400-h300/IMG_3644w.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Staffan, Kicki and Pam<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>

Vi går dit och tittar. Där finns grönsaker, ägg, hemgjorda marmelader, såser och andra godsaker samt en hel del konsthantverk. På området finns en scen där alla som vill spela ett instrument får vara med. Åtskilliga gitarrer, ståbas, tre banjos, tre fioler, mandolin, trummor. Också flera sångförmågor. Spelglädje!</p>

När jag fotograferar Kicki framför fyren är det en dam som erbjuder sig att ta en bild på oss båda. Det är ganska vanligt att man erbjuder sig att ta bilder på detta sätt. Utan att reflektera lämnar jag över mobiltelefonen till den trevliga damen. I fodralet till mobiltelefonen har jag tre kreditkort, körkort och en del kontanter. De som erbjuder sig att hjälpa till med fotografering är oftast damer, något äldre, dvs i vår egen ålder.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDVcrnnZUqhP5bQCQEEyOsstBhENNwlhfrzxxVIVDPSVNTlgaedXraYNuTo8NgemiL8wFobHRIVsQ4iG58BZp3AhOqTqQ8qr4_7P-sobZDa9UGbaCJVjPgtZVLgHjGsXMclg4MUN_8-jRFS2NDFzaLxpVTuE_2pkBM4r_IG6ptDkFHrDf7T7_i_enkA/s2053/IMG_3660w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2053" data-original-width="1700" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDVcrnnZUqhP5bQCQEEyOsstBhENNwlhfrzxxVIVDPSVNTlgaedXraYNuTo8NgemiL8wFobHRIVsQ4iG58BZp3AhOqTqQ8qr4_7P-sobZDa9UGbaCJVjPgtZVLgHjGsXMclg4MUN_8-jRFS2NDFzaLxpVTuE_2pkBM4r_IG6ptDkFHrDf7T7_i_enkA/w331-h400/IMG_3660w.jpg" width="331" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighthouse in St Augustine</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>

Träffade en väldigt trevlig expedit i skoaffären. När vi skulle betala frågade hon om jag varit militär. Militärer och veteraner behandlas ofta väl i USA och får rabatter på olika ställen. Jag svarar att jag inte arbetat som militär men att jag gjort militärtjänstgöring. Då tyckte hon jag var värd militärrabatten om 15% vilket jag tackade för.</p>

Vi har passerat denna bro flera gånger tidigare och vet att passagen är smal. Vi väljer att kraftigt dra ner på farten för att komma fram till bron när värsta strömmen passerat.

Vi valde att gå på utsidan och då också få tillfälle att lufta våra segel. Gick sedan in och ankrade vid Cumberland Island. Ön är bl.a känd för att där finns vilda hästar.</p>

Det är också relativt ovanligt att träffa på andra europeiska båtar. Vid ankringen träffar vi ett holländskt par på båten <i>Morgane of Sark</i>. Båten är en Hallberg-Rassy 46. De har liksom vi köpt sin båt i Bruinisse i Holland. 46:an är ju lite större än vår 39:a.

Färden fortsätter sedan genom South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia med slutmål i Annapolis i Maryland.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vår tanke är att lämna Balance till försäljning hos Freestate Yachts i Annapolis. Freestate Yachts är återförsäljare för Hallberg Rassy och säljer både nya och begagnade Hallberg-Rassy båtar.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vi seglade <i>Balance</i> från Sverige 2012 och tycker nu att det börjar bli dags att ”swallow our anchor”.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">(In English:)</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Looking at the weather forecasts, we will have bad weather for the next few days. So we made reservation for a buoy at the St Augustine Municipal Marina to let the storm pass while we're there.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">St. Augustine is considered America's oldest city, dating back to the 16th century. Nice city with cozy streets, lots of shops, galleries, restaurants. Maybe a little touristy, but you have to accept that.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">One day we had lunch with our friend Pam. Pam was formerly Port Officer for the Ocean Cruising Club in Green Cove Springs where we used to store Balance for several years. That's how we met and got to know Pam. She is now no longer Port Officer but nowadays a very good friend of ours. Green Cove Springs is not very far from St Augustine. It takes barely an hour by car. By boat, however, it takes about two days because you have to follow the St. Johns River via Jacksonville. The boat route is therefore significantly longer.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On Saturdays it is the Farmers Market. We go there and look. There are vegetables, eggs, home-made marmalades, sauces and other goodies as well as a lot of arts and crafts. In the area there is a stage where anyone who wants to play an instrument can join. Several guitars, bass, three banjos, three fiddles, mandolin, drums. Also several singing abilities. Joy of playing!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On the way back to the boat we pass the St Augustine lighthouse. When I photograph Kicki in front of the lighthouse, a lady offers to take a picture of both of us. It is quite common to offer to take pictures in this way. Without thinking, I hand over the mobile phone to the nice lady. In the case for the mobile phone I have three credit cards, my driver's license and some cash. Those who offer to help with photography are usually ladies, slightly older, i.e. our own age.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">One day we went to an outlet to buy shoes and Levis jeans. Met a very nice clerk in the shoe store. When we were about to pay, she asked if I had been in the military. Military and veterans are often treated well in the US and get discounts at various places. I answer that I did not work as a soldier but that I did military service. Then she thought I was worth the military discount of 15%, which I thanked for.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">When, after several days at the buoy in St. Augustine, we leave for further travel north, the weather is still quite bad. Northerly rather hard winds. Northerly winds are always cold!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We had intended to go further but when we get to Pine Island, we decide to stop there. Windy, cold and miserable!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">When we wake up the next morning it is completely windless and so beautiful! Also, it has gotten warmer!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">About an hour before we reach the San Pablo Atlantic Boulevard Bridge, the admiral discovers that we will have a counter current of 4.5 knots when crossing the bridge. We have passed this bridge several times before and know that the passage is narrow. We choose to slow down sharply to reach the bridge when the worst of the current has passed. We had about 2 knots of current when we went through but it wasn't a problem.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">From Jacksonville you can choose to continue on the ICW, the Intracoastal Waterway or you go out to sea. We chose to go on the outside and then also have the opportunity to use our sails. Then entered and anchored at Cumberland Island. The island is known, among other things, for the presence of wild horses.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is highly unusual to meet other Swedish boats. It is also relatively rare to meet other European boats. At the anchorage we meet a Dutch couple on the boat <i>Morgane of Sark</i>. The boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 46. Like us, they bought their boat in Bruinisse in Holland. The 46 is a bit bigger than our 39. That means they can't go on the ICW because the mast doesn't go under the bridges.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Now we have made it through all of Florida and are now in the state of Georgia. The journey then continues through South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia with the final destination in Annapolis in Maryland.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Our idea is to leave <i>Balance</i> for sale at Freestate Yachts in Annapolis. Freestate Yachts is a dealer for Hallberg Rassy and sells both new and used Hallberg-Rassy boats.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We sailed <i>Balance</i> from Sweden in 2012 and now think it is time to "swallow our anchor".</p><div><br /></div>Staffan and Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09847994333782894912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940771868543853724.post-9144819621374898792023-03-15T18:33:00.000+01:002023-03-15T18:33:22.077+01:00Bahamas till Florida<p> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0dfbBlwf8BJj32P83QNr9pFxQE67-NZYygr2rjberybI7Wmgz4W0RUZSef2b-4hLg82fgbW0I8JJvQ0H200azZQFEz9o1OIfgBrZ1-dzvrI0Qs2dJ6leK5YHGWgslWntzUT8MOLRVHEnQ5SnCyrO7faS3BsNs_cD8xBQ7i8vzTelRUljprIiKMx6uw/s1800/IMG_3496web3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

Fångade mahi-mahi (guldmakrill) på vägen dit. Snorklade och fångade en del conchs. Hade fantastiska måltider tillsammans med <i>Cookie Monster</i> och <i>Shambala</i> på grillad mahi och friterade conchs. Kvällar med dinghy-drift i solnedgången där några lyckades se green flash.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiod4OfUKt-gyUBrYtC9HwyhnorRujo4opn471g1_8N1VTt5fPtdm1-e8E-bxAu5cGEPK7B_N49EvlbAOXSjFk0e3o0wkeKF3SNWnTzGnDoTMQoH_UPYDNy4TviD_b-_-7K4B78GxhUJ_2k7_ellG0fb3BC_Qdx0S0nuVGoURxZkiLfOQTUMBe0Yq4N1w/s2400/IMG_1937web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiod4OfUKt-gyUBrYtC9HwyhnorRujo4opn471g1_8N1VTt5fPtdm1-e8E-bxAu5cGEPK7B_N49EvlbAOXSjFk0e3o0wkeKF3SNWnTzGnDoTMQoH_UPYDNy4TviD_b-_-7K4B78GxhUJ_2k7_ellG0fb3BC_Qdx0S0nuVGoURxZkiLfOQTUMBe0Yq4N1w/w300-h400/IMG_1937web.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Catch of mahi-mahi on the way to Lee Stocking</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Sen kom vi till den sorgliga stunden när vägarna skiljs och vi lämnar våra härliga vänner i Bahamas. Själva seglar vi vidare norröver.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Tog oss vidare längs öarna i Exumas med några stopp längs vägen upp till Nassau. Nassau är huvudstaden i Bahamas och en viktig destination för kryssningsfartyg. Omkring fem kryssningsfartyg kommer in omkring 07 på morgonen och ligger förtöjda under dagen. Vid 18-tiden lämnar de allihop Nassau. Upptill 28.000 turister kommer iland för att handla skattebefriade Rolex-klockor eller kanske något annat under besöket. Vi ankrar i hamnen i Nassau strax intill där kryssningsfartygen ligger.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">När vi passerade genom hamnområdet i Nassau kom en motorbåt på korsande kurs och passerar akter om oss. Strax efteråt blir vi anropade på vhf-radion. Visar sig att det var svenska konsulatet som var ute och åkte båt. De frågade om vår segling, var vi varit och vart vi var på väg etc. Erbjöd konsulatets tjänster om vi behövde hjälp på något sätt.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzAJ__ZMoeFbRToo68kgjf-3mOm4Niteb2cBh6ZulGrtAydDZR2nm1jYf_THJ9mz8VtWK1RejBDnD2CafywIkwOYl2ipzNMvZQOzgH85P8iPwIkb53n_oTC7zUcVSkYefiXq6c1EMwjf_GGhGij-KVXuqlcjK37hLY8rXMPTSvOmbaMbVkooednziDg/s1800/DSC_3138web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1800" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzAJ__ZMoeFbRToo68kgjf-3mOm4Niteb2cBh6ZulGrtAydDZR2nm1jYf_THJ9mz8VtWK1RejBDnD2CafywIkwOYl2ipzNMvZQOzgH85P8iPwIkb53n_oTC7zUcVSkYefiXq6c1EMwjf_GGhGij-KVXuqlcjK37hLY8rXMPTSvOmbaMbVkooednziDg/w400-h266/DSC_3138web.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nassau</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">På morgonen den 5 mars tar vi upp ankaret och går ut ur Nassaus hamn. Kryssningsfartygen är på väg in när vi går ut och vi anmäler till ”Nassau Harbour Control” att vi vill lämna och de talar om när vi får passera ut. Det är soligt och varmt och bleke. Vi går för motor.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Från Nassau till ”The Tounge of the Ocean” är det ca 50 sjömil. På den sträckan är det några tusen meter djupt vatten och vi har två fiskelinor ute. Dock utan att få napp. Sen går man ca 60 sjömil över Great Bahama Bank där vattendjupet är 4-5 meter. På natten hade vi fullmåne och det blev inte kolmörkt. Vattnet är kristallklart och det var närmast magiskt att kunna se botten på fem meters djup med hjälp av månljuset. När vi passerat bankarna kommer vi ut på Golfströmmen och har då ca 65 sjömil kvar till West Palm Beach i Florida. Det är natt när vi kommer ut på Golfströmmen och vi har en del fartygstrafik, mestadels kryssningsfartyg på väg till Miami och Fort Lauderdale. Inga besvärliga mötessituationer utan allt flöt på som det skulle.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKuRDOLKQBN1W3X4G4VJmxSv-opJkS26Ps758Y9SOdWvXqhnEroGLsIq3wasOqyctV8puJPUGklIrI77_Xzzs51gG450X7CBtbJ3jVn-C2KxT_d9siJpQiYbL3dTehDWR8ESG18AHYngxw0LW8aZkh8rzAyJITGhDR4ACf6nqw1XgbTe8P3EW5ruscCA/s1800/DSC_3149web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1800" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKuRDOLKQBN1W3X4G4VJmxSv-opJkS26Ps758Y9SOdWvXqhnEroGLsIq3wasOqyctV8puJPUGklIrI77_Xzzs51gG450X7CBtbJ3jVn-C2KxT_d9siJpQiYbL3dTehDWR8ESG18AHYngxw0LW8aZkh8rzAyJITGhDR4ACf6nqw1XgbTe8P3EW5ruscCA/w400-h266/DSC_3149web.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Meeting on Grand Bahama Banks</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Strax innan vi kom fram till West Palm Beach blir vi anropade på vhf-radion av vännerna Ian och Lynn på båten <i>Windward </i>som ligger ankrade i norra delen av West Palm Beach.

Numera klarerar man in via en app men fick det inte att fungera. Detta berodde på att när jag installerade appen för några år sedan hade jag ett annat telefonnummer än numera. Appen skickar per automatik ett sms med en kod som jag därför inte fick. Fick hjälp av en jättebussig CBP-officer och till slut löste sig inklareringen och vi har nu ett nytt cruising permit.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Hade ett par dagars trevligt umgänge med Ian och Lynn.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHigTaJV5S4v0K5O-HcVnlOHJ61CFAFA3X6Q5x5L-DjwSs-Q0S2EOgJBNjcoXe7vg1mxbGib80svFv-KDuv6YNShVTlDgOlN_ebZONqkiHC27kSPoo2J1zDUdPYJBWaOb2Lb27NR4XRNy9k0O8OiT5hbIOUvPC8nK-p-fIxcbm8DF_JWrqVNiqLrEtA/s1800/IMG_3606web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHigTaJV5S4v0K5O-HcVnlOHJ61CFAFA3X6Q5x5L-DjwSs-Q0S2EOgJBNjcoXe7vg1mxbGib80svFv-KDuv6YNShVTlDgOlN_ebZONqkiHC27kSPoo2J1zDUdPYJBWaOb2Lb27NR4XRNy9k0O8OiT5hbIOUvPC8nK-p-fIxcbm8DF_JWrqVNiqLrEtA/w400-h300/IMG_3606web.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lynn & Ian on their beautiful ketch Windward</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Fortsatte sedan till Vero Beach City Marina där vi blir hälsade ”Welcome back!”.

Tyvärr ingen raketuppskjutning när vi var där. Nästa dag ankrade vi i Daytona. Nu har vädret blivit sämre. Vaknar upp med åska och blixtar och kraftigt regn. Det har blivit kallare och vi har kraftig vind och stannar ett par dagar extra i Daytona.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">(In English:)</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Had a couple of days at Lee Stocking Island together with our friend boats <i>Cookie Monster</i> and <i>Shambala</i>. Caught mahi-mahi on the way there. Snorkeled and caught some conchs. Had great meals with <i>Cookie Monster</i> and <i>Shambala</i> on grilled mahi and fried conchs. Evenings with dinghy drifting at sunset where some managed to see the green flash.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Then we came to the sad moment when the paths part and we leave our lovely friends in the Bahamas. We ourselves sail further north.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Took us on along the islands of the Exumas with a few stops along the way up to Nassau. Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas and a major destination for cruise ships. About five cruise ships come in around 07 in the morning and are moored during the day. At 6pm they all leave Nassau. Up to 28,000 tourists come ashore to shop for duty-free Rolex watches or perhaps something else during the visit. We anchor in the port of Nassau right next to where the cruise ships are.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">As we passed through the harbor area of Nassau, a speedboat came on a cross course and passes astern of us. Shortly afterwards we are called on the vhf radio. It turns out that it was the Swedish consulate that was out on a boat. They asked about our sailing, where we had been and where we were heading, etc. Offered the services of the consulate if we needed help in any way.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On the morning of March 5, we raise anchor and left Nassau harbor. The cruise ships are on their way in when we go out and we report to "Nassau Harbor Control" that we want to leave and they tell us when we can pass out. It's sunny and warm and no wind. We go by engine.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">From Nassau to "The Tongue of the Ocean" it is about 50 nautical miles. On that stretch there is a few thousand meters of deep water and we have two fishing lines out. However, without getting any fish. Then you go about 60 nautical miles across the Great Bahama Bank, where the water depth is 4-5 meters. At night we had a full moon and it wasn't really dark. The water is crystal clear and it was almost magical to be able to see the bottom at a depth of five meters with the help of the moonlight. When we have passed the banks, we come out on the Gulf Stream and then have about 65 nautical miles left to West Palm Beach in Florida. It is night when we get out on the Gulf Stream and we have some ship traffic, mostly cruise ships bound for Miami and Fort Lauderdale. No difficult meeting situations and everything passed as it should.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Just before we arrived at West Palm Beach, we were called on the vhf radio by our friends Ian and Lynn on the boat <i>Windward</i>, who are anchored in the northern part of West Palm Beach. We go there and anchor next to them.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Then we went to CBP, Customs Border Control. Nowadays, you check in via an app, but it didn't work. This was because when I installed the app a few years ago, I had a different phone number than I do now. The app automatically sends a text message with a code, which I therefore did not receive. Got help from a great CBP officer and finally cleared the clearance and we now have a new cruising permit.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Had a nice couple of days hanging out with Ian and Lynn.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Then continued to Vero Beach City Marina where we were greeted “Welcome back!”. In the marina in Vero Beach, you are on a mooring buoy. Often two boats are rafted together on each buoy. The first time we came here was in 2016 and then we were rafted together with Kathy and Earl on the boat <i>Seeker</i>. We became good friends and have kept in touch ever since. Now they are on buoy no. 30 and we raft together with them now too, seven years later! Fun reunion!</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The next day we started by running the washing machine and then a trip to the shopping area for provisions. In the afternoon we played bocce with <i>Seeker</i> and <i>Windward</i> and then had sundowners together in our cockpit.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Leaving Vero Beach, we continued north and anchored overnight at the Kennedy Space Center. Unfortunately no rocket launch when we were there. The next day we anchored in Daytona. Now the weather has gotten worse. Woke up with thunder and lightning and heavy rain. It has gotten colder and we have strong winds and are staying a couple of extra days in Daytona.</p>Staffan and Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09847994333782894912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940771868543853724.post-4509137108502307212023-02-27T00:25:00.000+01:002023-02-27T00:25:23.267+01:00Georgetown, Bahamas<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(In English below)</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Vi har nu hängt på vårt ankare vid Stocking Island, Georgetown, Exumas i Bahamas ganska länge.

Man kör då med dingen till sju olika platser. På varje plats får man ett spelkort. Just denna dagen är det ganska stora vågor och det blir rätt blött. Vid de olika stationerna finns det också möjlighet att få något att äta eller dricka. Vinnare är den som fått den högsta pokerhanden. Vi fick en stege men det räckte inte för att vinna.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcyENNRdS0FtpVezyX0K6giFgB-DUdELHxIKhdKa8Bhenf9qaHCy6yKpGEMEZxW2AqwJE0Q3EPRXIFJI5deiSL5SabGSFvjpbg0m5-jUZMFFrkvy4N6Ko9cK0j6L6Pfqa_AyvnyPW_89ph6NhUHmVAcMc_7KYXHz-EydSYZ6shePUQhLISKVkczD7Plg/s2400/IMG_3333w.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcyENNRdS0FtpVezyX0K6giFgB-DUdELHxIKhdKa8Bhenf9qaHCy6yKpGEMEZxW2AqwJE0Q3EPRXIFJI5deiSL5SabGSFvjpbg0m5-jUZMFFrkvy4N6Ko9cK0j6L6Pfqa_AyvnyPW_89ph6NhUHmVAcMc_7KYXHz-EydSYZ6shePUQhLISKVkczD7Plg/w300-h400/IMG_3333w.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>

A little longer than we initially thought, but we simply had so much fun and enjoyment here that we stayed longer than we planned.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Stocking Island can be described as a meeting point for American and Canadian sailors during the winter. Lots of social activities. Someone expressed it as "adult daycare". We have been together with our American friends Robin & Corbett on the boat <i>Cookie Monster</i>. We have met two Swedish boats, <i>Happy Pancake</i> with a nice Swedish family with two children from Torslanda and <i>Moana</i> from Ingarö. We have had some contact with <i>Moana</i> in the past via email and Facebook. Like us, they have chosen to store their boat on the hard in Green Cove Springs, but we have not been there at the same time. With Eva and Tobbe on <i>Moana</i> (Forgus 36) we have had a lot to talk about and it feels like they are now our new friends and we will see each other at home in Sweden.</p>

Kerstin is a keen participant.</p>

However, we had a couple of weeks with quite a lot of wind and also some heavy rain.</p>

The boat is equipped with a piano and speaker system. In addition to being a good pianist, David is also good at singing and entertaining. Just before sunset we enjoy his music in our dinghy in the anchor bay.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">One day the Poker Run is organized with the dinghies. You then drive the dinghy to seven different locations. At each place you get a playing card. On this particular day, there are quite big waves and it gets quite wet. At the various stations there is also the possibility of getting something to eat or drink. The winner is the one with the highest poker hand. We got a straight but it wasn't enough to win.</p>

Tillbaka till <i>Balance</i> början januari. Efter någon vecka med slutproviantering av båten, några mindre reparationer, byte till ny Magma-grill, testkörning av water-makern började vi bli klara att lämna Vero Beach för denna gång. Den gamla Magma-grillen som vi haft i elva år har rostat sönder. Testkörde water-makern för att kunna få tag på reservdelar om den inte skulle fungera. Svårare att få tag på delar när vi är i Bahamas. Glada att water-makern fungerade trots att den inte varit igång på flera år.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vi åkte till Customs & Border Protection, Fort Pierce för att klarera ut ur USA. Normalt sett behöver man inte göra detta men eftersom vårt cruising permit är utgånget gäller andra rutiner. Råkade säga att vi tänkte göra ett nattstopp i Lake Worth och sedan nästa dag segla över till Bahamas. CBP-officeren menade då att vi måste göra den slutliga utklareringen i Lake Worth vilket vi tyckte blev omständigt. Vi sa då att vi skulle segla direkt till Bahamas från Vero Beach och fick vår utklarering. Detta var lite nödlögn och tror officeren förstod det men han har ryggen fri och vi slipper den extra klareringen i Lake Worth.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vi har väntat ett tag på lämpligt väder. Kallfronter med nordliga vindar har avlöst varandra. När vi gick till Lake Worth var det ganska kallt och vi hade nästan alla kläder på oss inklusive handskar, varma stövlar och mössa.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Satte nästa dag kurs mot Great Harbour Cay på Berry Islands i Bahamas. Seglingen dit blev ca 140 sjömil och tog oss 24 timmar. Vädret har nu blivit varmare. Ganska vindfattigt så motorn har varit igång större delen av överfarten. Härligt väder när vi kommer fram till Great Harbour. Vi har inte varit här tidigare men blivit rekommenderade denna marina för inklarering till Bahamas. Inklareringen gick bra. Det kostar 300 dollar att klarera in i Bahamas för tre månaders vistelse. Vi fick också fisketillstånd. Köpte sim-kort från Aliv så vi får internet-åtkomst. Aliv fungerar så att sim-kortet sätts i en router som man kopplar upp telefoner och datorer mot. Verkar som att Aliv har väldigt bra uppkoppling och vi får kontakt för det mesta och kan t.o.m. titta på svt.play på datorn. Stannade två dagar i den trevliga marinan.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Passerade genom Nassau och ankrade vid Rose Island. Fiskade på vägen och fick två st mahi-mahi (guldmakrill) som gav oss åtta härliga middagar. Ett par dagar senare var vi i Warderick Wells, Exuma Land and Seapark. Här tycker vi det är så fint. Favoritställe! Området är nationalpark. Parkvakten Cherry kom ihåg oss sedan tidigare besök (Fyra år sedan). På vår fortsatta segling söderöver gjorde vi stopp i Big Majors Spot, Blackpoint och Famers Cay. Vi kom till Farmers Cay i samband med ”<b><i>5F</i></b>”. <b><i>F</i></b>irst <b><i>F</i></b>riday <b><i>F</i></b>ebruary <b><i>F</i></b>armers <b><i>F</i></b>estival.

Där återser vi våra vänner Robin & Corbett som kom iväg till Bahamas när vi var på Sverige-besök. I Georgetown stannar vi ett tag. Georgetown är en träffpunkt för amerikanska seglare och just nu ligger över 300 båtar ankrade här. Mängder med aktiviteter som water aerobics, beach volley, maskerad, domino, gudstjänst på stranden, boule, poker ”Texas holdem”, soft ball (baseball med mjuk boll). Varje morgon inleds med ”Cruisers net” på vhf-radion där man presenterar sig själv när man är nyanländ. Net-controllern kom ihåg oss sen vi var här för fyra år sedan och visste att vi har en Hallberg-Rassy. Om man behöver hjälp med något får man kontakt med någon som kan hjälpa eller ge tips. Man får på nätet veta vad som är på gång. Hjälpsamhet och social samvaro är kännetecknande för cruisers-samvaron i Bahamas.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuR1ndz65nk9kkmsEGATW8Yld4o9WkUvXMFy1K9ykRYa3t8MXvRAP7f4TmjFq-RiAAQ6-xLm7RmOhFF68jLP3G-FHsqm56X6Qd3hBGHuWshlqku5fahNEPWaWT5z97RSRcaudLX3OXOJyYjFYT7AQMpD5rWOAAhcnLXmhMUecn8vQjoNd3I8UsoM4WQ/s1500/DSC_8257w.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="992" data-original-width="1500" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuR1ndz65nk9kkmsEGATW8Yld4o9WkUvXMFy1K9ykRYa3t8MXvRAP7f4TmjFq-RiAAQ6-xLm7RmOhFF68jLP3G-FHsqm56X6Qd3hBGHuWshlqku5fahNEPWaWT5z97RSRcaudLX3OXOJyYjFYT7AQMpD5rWOAAhcnLXmhMUecn8vQjoNd3I8UsoM4WQ/w400-h265/DSC_8257w.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ankring vid Monument Beach, Georgetown</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">(In English:)</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Traveled home to Sweden in December and were home over Christmas and New Year. Back to Balance beginning of January. After a week or so of final provisioning of the boat, some minor repairs, changing to a new Magma grill, test driving the water maker, we started to get ready to leave Vero Beach for this time. The old Magma grill that we had for eleven years has rusted to pieces. Test drove the water maker to be able to get spare parts in case it didn't work. Harder to get parts when we are in the Bahamas. Glad the water maker worked even though it hadn't been running for years.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We went to Customs & Border Protection, Fort Pierce to clear out of the US. Normally, you don't have to do this, but since our cruising permit has expired, other procedures apply. Just happened to mention that we were thinking of doing an overnight stop in Lake Worth and then the next day sailing over to the Bahamas. The CBP officer then said that we have to do the final clearance in Lake Worth which we thought was cumbersome. We then said we would sail directly to the Bahamas from Vero Beach and got our clearance. This was a bit of an emergency lie and I think the officer understood it, but his back is free and we avoid the extra clearance in Lake Worth.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We have been waiting a while for suitable weather. Cold fronts with northerly winds have succeeded each other. When we went to Lake Worth it was quite cold and we had almost all our clothes on including gloves, warm boots and hat.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Set course the next day for Great Harbor Cay on the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. The sailing there was about 140 nautical miles and took us 24 hours. The weather has now become warmer. Fairly low wind so the engine has been running most of the crossing. Beautiful weather when we arrive at Great Harbour. We have not been here before but were recommended this marina for clearance to the Bahamas. The clearance went well. It costs $300 to clear into the Bahamas for a three-month stay. We also got fishing permits. Bought a sim card from Aliv so we get internet access. Aliv works so that the SIM card is inserted into a router to which phones and computers are connected. It seems that Aliv has a very good connection and we get in touch most of the time and can even watch svt.play on PC. Stayed two days in the nice marina.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">From Great Harbor we continued south. Passed through Nassau and anchored at Rose Island. Fished on the way and got two mahi-mahi which gave us eight lovely dinners. A couple of days later we were in Warderick Wells, Exuma Land and Seapark. Here we think it's so nice. Favorite place! The area is a national park. The park ranger Cherry remembered us from previous visits (Four years ago). On our continued sailing south we stopped at Big Majors Spot, Blackpoint and Farmers Cay. We came to Farmers Cay in connection with "<b><i>5F</i></b>". <b><i>F</i></b>irst <b><i>F</i></b>riday <b><i>F</i></b>ebruary <b><i>F</i></b>armers <b><i>F</i></b>estival. Regatta with traditional Bahamian boats and festivities on the beaches and bars. Lots of visiting boats anchored for the festivities.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">From Farmers Cay you exit through Farmers Cut at slack water and then sail on the Atlantic side of the island chain to Georgetown. There we meet again our friends Robin & Corbett who came to the Bahamas when we were visiting Sweden. In Georgetown we will stay for a while. Georgetown is a meeting point for American sailors and right now over 300 boats are anchored here. Lots of activities such as water aerobics, beach volleyball, masquerade, dominoes, church service on the beach, boules, poker "Texas holdem", soft ball (baseball with a soft ball). Every morning begins with "Cruisers net" on the vhf radio where you introduce yourself when you arrive. The net controller remembered us since we were here four years ago and knew that we have a Hallberg-Rassy. If you need help with something, you get in touch with someone who can help or give advice. You will find out what is going on. Helpfulness and socializing are characteristic of the cruising life in the Bahamas.</p><div><br /></div>Staffan and Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09847994333782894912noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940771868543853724.post-69067431967075486262022-12-04T23:04:00.000+01:002022-12-04T23:04:36.343+01:00Green Cove Springs to Vero Beach City Marina<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4VqDnuanjX23nOf6uffeF26gVno36USfYfPnNkthvdwv-yUVZIXAW-rDp6uINKxs3bO4VTPQOQGPNPL2rrKJyhXkenZfJW6C97tKnxFfoVswNFnVPNBRjJ4X2wqyIStV8xcJiWf13lRolYM_528PzA3qe1hUS93059n1HWDuAftPyHfW6kQrT1QTdGw/s1000/IMG_1239w.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4VqDnuanjX23nOf6uffeF26gVno36USfYfPnNkthvdwv-yUVZIXAW-rDp6uINKxs3bO4VTPQOQGPNPL2rrKJyhXkenZfJW6C97tKnxFfoVswNFnVPNBRjJ4X2wqyIStV8xcJiWf13lRolYM_528PzA3qe1hUS93059n1HWDuAftPyHfW6kQrT1QTdGw/w400-h300/IMG_1239w.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">On the ICW</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px;">(In English below)</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">När man anländer med fritidsbåt till USA får man ett cruising permit som gäller i 12 månader. Vårt cruising permit utfärdades för nästan fyra år sedan och är därmed utgånget sedan länge. En oro vi hade var huruvida Customs & Border Protection skulle kunna betrakta vår båt som importerad och därmed kräva oss på moms för båten. Den uppkomna sitiuatonen kan naturligtvis skyllas på Covid. </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Kontaktade CBP i Jacksonville som var mycket tillmötesgående och hjälpsamma. När vi lämnar en hamn utfärdas en Clearance 1300. Vi kontaktar sedan CBP-kontoret i den hamn vi ankommer. Därefter utfärdas en ny Clearance 1300 till följande hamn. När klareringen utfärdas har vi 48 timmar på oss att lämna. Egentligen kostar det pengar för varje klarering men vi har en s.k. decal, en slags årsavgift som innebär att man inte behöver betala.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Enligt CBP i Jacksonville skall hela administrationen kunna utföras via e-mail. När vi kom till Fort Pierce saknade jag e-mail adressen och ringer och frågar efter adressen. Får till svar: <i>Vi har inte e-mail. Men vi har fax.</i> 2022!</p>

Gjort stopp vid Sisters Creek i Jacksonville, Pine Island, Daytona och Cocoa. När vi seglar med Clearance 1300 får vi inte lov att gå iland förrän vi når slutdestinationen.</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOQU5vzzakIOb0PrtLUEAe8RN9e7IH1X-R6TZryHP4xPaPoordcEMyavTuVAonbuIkwAJV0pX_TEm10xx1yNrZxtyHWtpZ1fhooyUk5y-lKmAeSdhW9dJyBFb_zMvSlA_qcokKjUGRui0MLMCXtDUzo5DXmrHIGoMAxa22OEVFsZsGb04i2WP0UYrhA/s1000/DSC_2146w.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="758" data-original-width="1000" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOQU5vzzakIOb0PrtLUEAe8RN9e7IH1X-R6TZryHP4xPaPoordcEMyavTuVAonbuIkwAJV0pX_TEm10xx1yNrZxtyHWtpZ1fhooyUk5y-lKmAeSdhW9dJyBFb_zMvSlA_qcokKjUGRui0MLMCXtDUzo5DXmrHIGoMAxa22OEVFsZsGb04i2WP0UYrhA/w400-h304/DSC_2146w.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">New bridge in Daytona</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>

Motortemperaturen på väg mot 90° när vi stoppar motorn och glider av från leden där vi ankrar. Kollar impellern och den är hel och det kommer vatten fram till pumpen. Men pumpen går inte. Att segla till Vero Beach i den svaga motvinden i den smala leden var inte att tänka på. Ringde till Boat US där vi varit medlemmar sedan 2016 när vi kom till USA. Boat US har bärgningsbåtar längs hela kusten. Boat US har lokalkännedom och kunskap om tillgängliga marinor där man kan få hjälp. De ringde runt till alla marinor i området som antingen var fullbelagda eller hade för litet djupgående för vår båt. Beslutades att bogsera oss ända till Vero Beach, en sträcka om ca 27 distansminuter.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Under pandemin nedgraderade jag vårt medlemskap från ”Gold” till ”standard”. Tyvärr har jag glömt att ändra tillbaka medlemskapet när vi nu är tillbaka efter Covid-stoppet vilket innebar att bogseringen blev ganska kostsam. Kontaktade vårt svenska försäkringsbolag Pantaenius. De ställde upp med förträfflig snabb och god service. Inom fyra dagar hade jag full ersättning utbetald till mitt bankkonto.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Marinan i Vero Beach är en boj-marina. Vid bojarna ligger man vid högsäsong upp till tre båtar i bredd. När vi anländer bogserade av Boat US tillåter de oss inte att ligga vid boj eftersom vi inte har fungerande motor. Captain Joe på Boat US drar oss då till ett ankringsområde strax norr om boj-området. När vi anländer är det mörkt. Vår entré var inte diskret med blinkande röda och gula varningsljus på bogserbåten vid passerandet av hela boj-området. Alla har sett oss!</p>

Också axeln på pumpen är deformerad. Fick kontakt med Diesel Services of America som håller till i Fort Lauderdale. De hade inte delarna i lager men kunde se att de fanns hos Volvo US i Mississippi. Vi beställer och de skickas från Mississippi kl 16 och vi har dem tillhanda följande dag kl 12. Efter 30 minuters montering fungerar allt som det skall igen.</p>

Ligger förtöjda ihop med en båt med en ensamstående mamma med tre skolbarn som bor på sin båt. För oss blir detta bra då hon kan ha tillsyn av vår båt när vi nu reser hem till Sverige bl.a. för att fira jul, hugga ved och en del annat. Tills vi reser hem har vi semester i trevliga Vero Beach.</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ33XIGaIfw4M85QFY1bLaXPIioDx2FyUaVXhHQi5U9AxvNlxXjDr24cCBTXgMa3K_3G1roBc3pVJ4-mFd7Gb56VEUuzWhb3sM8iOX3cVTt9BGfcTDc0bWTG9ceJCL10THmSf5UP1RJXaZnJ3_yab4xE82N5LFmRf-DaZSBxQgkn_8hrzkbSJ2_buY7Q/s1000/IMG_3104w.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ33XIGaIfw4M85QFY1bLaXPIioDx2FyUaVXhHQi5U9AxvNlxXjDr24cCBTXgMa3K_3G1roBc3pVJ4-mFd7Gb56VEUuzWhb3sM8iOX3cVTt9BGfcTDc0bWTG9ceJCL10THmSf5UP1RJXaZnJ3_yab4xE82N5LFmRf-DaZSBxQgkn_8hrzkbSJ2_buY7Q/w400-h300/IMG_3104w.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">On the beach in Vero Beach</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">When you arrive by recreational boat in the USA, you get a cruising permit that is valid for 12 months. Our cruising permit was issued almost four years ago and has therefore expired a long time ago. One concern we had was whether Customs & Border Protection could consider our boat as imported and thus claim VAT on the boat. The situation can of course be blamed on Covid.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Contacted CBP in Jacksonville who were very accommodating and helpful. When we leave a port, a Clearance 1300 is issued. We then contact the CBP office in the port we arrive. A new Clearance 1300 is then issued to the following port. Once the clearance is issued, we have 48 hours to leave. Actually, it costs money for each clearance, but we have a so-called decal, a kind of annual fee that means you don't have to pay.</p>

Made stops at Sisters Creek in Jacksonville, Pine Island, Daytona and Cocoa. When we sail with Clearance 1300, we are not allowed to disembark until we reach our final destination.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On the last day of motoring along the Intracoastal Waterway, we suddenly get no seawater for the engine. The engine temperature heading towards 195° F when we stop the engine and slide off the trail where we anchor. Checks the impeller and it is intact and water reaches the pump. But the pump doesn't work. Sailing to Vero Beach in the slight headwind in the narrow stretch was out of the question. Called Boat US where we have been members since 2016 when we came to the US. Boat US has tow boats all along the coast. Boat US has local knowledge and knowledge of available marinas where you can get help. They called around to all the marinas in the area that were either full or had too little draft for our boat. Decided to tow us all the way to Vero Beach, a distance of about 27 nautical miles. During the pandemic, I downgraded our membership from "Gold" to "Standard". Unfortunately, I forgot to change the membership back when we are now back after the Covid stop which meant that the towing became quite expensive. Contacted our Swedish insurance company Pantaenius. They provided excellent fast and good service. Within four days I had full compensation paid into my bank account.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The marina in Vero Beach is a buoy marina. At the buoys, in high season, there are up to three boats rafted together. When we arrive towed by Boat US they won't allow us to moor because we don't have a working engine. Captain Joe at Boat US then pulls us to an anchorage area just north of the buoy area. When we arrive it is dark. Our entrance was not discreet with flashing red and yellow warning lights on the tug as it passed the entire buoy area. Everyone has seen us!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Dismantled the seawater pump and found immediately that the drive clutch on the motor that transmits power to the seawater pump had broken. The shaft of the pump is also deformed. Got in touch with Diesel Services of America located in Fort Lauderdale. They did not have the parts in stock but could see that they were available at Volvo US in Mississippi. We order and they ship from Mississippi at 4pm and we have them the next day at 12. After 30 minutes of assembly everything is back to normal.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We have now got a mooring at a bouy in the marina. Rafted together with a boat with a single mother with three school children living on her boat. For us this will be good as she can keep an eye on our boat when we now travel home to Sweden to celebrate Christmas, chop wood and some other things. Until we travel home, we have a vacation in nice Vero Beach.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Det var spännande och roligt att återvända till Balance i Green Cove Springs i norra Florida efter två och ett halvt års ”Covid Prison”. Lite oroligt var det också då vi funderat på hur utrustning och funktioner klarat sig under så lång lagring. Stor oro hade vi över hur vår batteribank klarat sig i två och ett halvt år utan laddning. Vi har två st gel-batterier om vardera 225 Ah. De väger ca 80 kg/st och inte så enkla att flytta ut och in i en båt av en gammal man. Inte heller speciellt billigt. Visar sig dock att batterierna håller 12,22 volt när vi kommer till båten. Efter kompletterande laddning har vi anslutit alla solpaneler och vindgenerator och nu fungerar elsystemet som normalt. Under lagringen har alla kablar varit bortkopplade från batterierna. Solcellerna har inte heller varit inkopplade.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Invändigt har båten klarat sig fint. Båten har utmärkt bra ventilation och vi har ingen mögel- eller ”skeppsdoft” ombord. Kläder som vi förvarat ombord går fint att använda och har ingen som helst doft. Vi har klarat oss från insekter och skadedjur.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Utsidan av båten har däremot medfört en hel del arbete. Vårt vackra och relativt nyrenoverade teakdäck var nästan svart av smuts/nedfall. </p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Ca 90 teakpluggar har bytts ut.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Det blev nödvändigt att byta ut vår sprayhood. Kontaktar Peter Hansson på Hallberg-Rassy Parts i Ellös. De har original-sprayhooden till vår båt på lager. De skickar en fredag och vi har den tillhanda följande måndag fm. Tycker det är ganska OK service! Ganska imponerande att de håller original-delar till en 27 år gammal båt i lager! Under åren vi varit ute och seglat har vi hela tiden fått fantastisk service av Peter Hansson på HR-Parts.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Efter sjösättning på Green Cove Springs Marina flyttade vi till Reynolds Marina som ligger strax intill. Där har vi sedan tillbringat en tid för att fixa färdigt ombord. Sen kom orkanen ”Nicole”. Nicole nådde inte orkanstyrka där vi låg men vi fick ca 27 m/s. Det tog omkring fem dagar med kulingvindar när orkanen passerade.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">När vi kom till Green Cove Springs var temperaturen 30-33 grader. När vi lämnade Green Cove Springs var temperaturen 6 grader och motvind på 10 m/s. Alla kläderna på. Tjock jacka, tröja, överdragsbyxor, mössa+kapuschong, sjöstövlar. Strumpor! Har lite svårt att se charmen med vintersegling. Gillar att segla i shorts!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Men nu är vi på väg söderöver och mot värmen!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">(In English)</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It was exciting and fun to return to Balance in Green Cove Springs in North Florida after two and a half years of ”Covid Prison”. It was also a little worrying when we thought about how the equipment and functions had managed during such long storage. We were very concerned about how our battery bank managed for two and half years without charging. We have two gel batteries of 225 Ah each. They weigh about 80 kg/piece (176 pounds) and not so easy to move in and out of a boat by an old man. Not particularly cheap either. However, it turns out that the batteries hold 12,22 volts when we get to the boat. After additional charging, we have connected all the solar panels and wind generator and now the electrical system works as normal. During storage all cables have been disconnected from the batteries. The solar cells have not been connected either.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Inside, the boat has done well. The boat has excellent ventilation and we have no mold or ”ship smell” on board. Clothes that we stored on board are fine to use and have no scent whatsoever. We have survived insects and pests.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The outside of the boat, however, has involved a lot of work. Our beautiful and relatively newly renovated teak deck was almost black with dirt/fallout. About 90 teak plugs have been replaced.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It became necessary to replace our spray hood. Contacted Peter Hansson at Hallberg-Rassy Parts in Ellös. They have the original sprayhood for our boat in stock. They send on a Friday and we have it the following Monday morning. I think it’s pretty OK service! Quite impressive that they keep original parts for a 27 year old boat in stock! During the years we have been out sailing, we have always received fantastic service from Peter Hansson at HR-Parts.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">After launching at Green Cove Springs Marina, we moved to Reynolds Marina which is right next door. We have since spent some time there to finish fixing things on board. Then came the hurricane ”Nicole”. Nicole didn’t reach hurricane strength where we were but we got about 55 knots of wind. It took about five days of gale force winds for the hurricane to pass.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">When we got to Green Cove Springs the temperature was around 90°F. When we left Green Cove Springs, the temperature was 42°F and the headwind was 20 knots. All clothes on! Warm jacket, sweater, coverall, cap+hood, sea boots. Socks! Having a little difficulty seeing the charm of winter sailing. Prefers to sail in shorts!</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">But now we are on our way south and towards sunny and warm weather!</p>

I familjen har vi dock en ny långseglare. Vårt barnbarn Lova som är 16 år har i höst börjat på seglande gymnasiet på Öckerö. En del av gymnasietiden tillbringas på tremastade barken <i>T/S Gunilla</i>. Normala år seglas <i>T/S Gunilla </i>till Karibien och USA men i nuvarande Corona-tider håller man sig på vår sida av Atlanten.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Lova mönstrade nyligen ombord på T/S Gunilla i Lissabon. Seglingen går sedan till Madeira, La Palma, Teneriffa och småningom till Azorerna och sedan tillbaka till Lissabon. Ca två månader är eleverna ombord och de lämnar Lissabon den 25 december.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g5dqmaNObok/X-DYMBp013I/AAAAAAAACWA/W94zwsmbk5wgAyC36dfawS29VudVS0P_gCLcBGAsYHQ/s713/Image-1w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

margin: 0px;">This season there will be no sailing for us due to the Corona situation. <i>Balance </i>is on the hard in Green Cove Springs Marina in Northern Florida. At the moment there is no possibility for us to get there. We are at home on Bohus-Malmön during the winter and there will not be much activity on our blog.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The fall has been a dark and sad time. Dark because of our climate here on 58 degrees North and sad because of the development with the Corona virus.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">However, now everything will become a lot better. From December 21st days are becoming lighter. It looks as the Corona-vaccine will be available shortly and in the United States there will very soon be a new president!</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Well, there will be no sailing for us this winter. In our family we have however a new long distance sailor. Our granddaughter <i>Lova, </i>16 years old has this fall begun her high school studies. Her high school is at the sailing high school on Öckerö. Part of the high school time is spent aboard the three-masted bark ship <i>T/S Gunilla</i>. Normal years without Corona the ship is sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean and US East Coast but this year they have to stay on this side of the pond.</p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i>Lova </i>recently signed on the ship in Lisbon. The students will then sail to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife and then to the Azores and finally back to Lisbon. They will spend two months on the ship and are leaving Lisbon on December 25.</p>Staffan and Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09847994333782894912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940771868543853724.post-70980682317799120862020-04-06T11:15:00.000+02:002020-04-06T11:15:13.930+02:00Hemresa - Going home<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">V</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">år hemresa blev en kamp mot klockan. Hade en flygning bokad den 25 mars. Vi kände att situationen blev osäker med flygavgångar då vi hörde att flygbolagen håller på att ställa in avgångar. Valde då att ändra vår bokning till den 22 mars. Denna avgång blev senare annullerad. Lyckades då boka ett flyg med Norwegian den 20 mars. Två dagar före avgång ändrade man avresan från Orlando till Miami. Tog oss fyra dagar att ta oss från Vero Beach till Green Cove Springs Marina. När vi kom dit hade vi en dag för att göra iordning båten för landförvaring. Ta ner och vika alla segel, ta ur luften ur gummibåten och packa ihop den, vi lyfter in livflotte och utombordsmotor i båten. Byte av oljor och filter på motorn. Packa ihop och göra iordning, städa.</span></div>

Nästa morgon var lyftet på land bokat men blev inte så tidigt som sagt vilket gjorde att vi fick lite mer tid att göra iordning ombord.</div>

USA har ännu inte stängt sina gränser för ankommande båtar. Dock har vissa hamnar och marinor stängt. När vi kom till Green Cove Springs Marina pratade man om att stänga ner verksamheten pga Corona-viruset. Vilken tur att de inte gjort det innan vi fick lyft på land!</div>

Sista kvällen i Green Cove Springs sov vi över hos Pam som är OCC Port Officer i Green Cove Springs. Avresedagen tog vi vägen via Customs & Border Protection i Jacksonville där vi får deponera vårt båtregistreringsbevis. Detta eftersom vi f.n. inte har något cruising permit i USA. Vi har s.k. ”decal” och problemet är inte så stort. Därefter hyrbilen till flygplatsen i Miami.</div>

Flygbokningen var med Norwegian via Gatwick, London. Därefter till Helsingfors. Hade bokat SAS från Helsingfors till Stockholm och därifrån till Göteborg. Avgången från Helsingfors till Stockholm var dagen efter ankomsten till Helsingfors. Vi var lite bekymrade över detta då Finland har inreseförbud pga Corona-viruset. Skulle medfört övernattning på flygplatsen i Helsingfors. Kom på att vi kunde flyga RyanAir direkt från London till Göteborg. RyanAir avgår dock från Stanstead Airport som ligger norr om London. Gatwick ligger söder om London. Bokade hyrbil på Gatwick och körde till Stanstead. Vi visste inte säkert om vi hade möjlighet att komma in i England med hänsyn till Corona som stängt de flesta gränser. Det visade sig dock inte vara något problem och vi kom in i England. Fick vänta på avgång några timmar på Stanstead. I dessa Corona-tider var det ingen servering på restaurangerna på flygplatsen. På en del av restaurangerna sålde man ”take-away” men man fick inte sitta i restaurangerna. Inget öl eller vin serverades någonstans.</div>

Landade på Landvetter, Göteborg vid 22-tiden. Hyrbilsfirmorna på Landvetter var naturligtvis stängda och vi övernattade på flygplatsen i avvaktan på att de öppnade kl 10 nästa dag. Fick en hyrbil och tog oss hem. </div>

Denna segelsäsong har inte blivit som vi planerat. Reparationer efter kollision med en stock har medfört lång tid på varv och sedan har Corona-viruset påverkat slutet på säsongen en hel del och ledde också till att vi valde att avbryta, ta <i>Balance</i> på land och flyga hem. </div>

Vi hoppas att Corona-situationen förbättras under sommaren och att vi kan återvända till <i>Balance</i> i höst men ingen vet något om hur det blir med detta.</div>

Had a flight booked on March 25. We felt that the situation became uncertain with flight departures when we heard that the airlines are canceling flights. We chosed to change our booking to March 22. This departure was later canceled. Then managed to book a flight with Norwegian on March 20. Two days before departure, the departure was changed from Orlando to Miami. </span></div>

Took us four days to get from Vero Beach to Green Cove Springs Marina. When we got there we had one day to prepare the boat for storage on the hard. Taking down and fold all the sails, remove the air from the dinghy and fold it, we take the life raft and the outboard engine into the boat. Replacement of oils and filters on the engine. Pack up and prepare, cleaning.</div>

The next morning, the lift on the hard was booked but did not arrive as early as said, which meant that we had a little more time to prepare the boat.</div>

The United States has not yet closed its borders for arriving yachts. However, some ports and marinas have closed. When we arrived at Green Cove Springs Marina they talked about closing down the business because of the Corona virus. What a lucky thing they didn't do it before they took us on the hard!</div>

Last night in Green Cove Springs we slept over at Pam's OCC Port Officer in Green Cove Springs. The departure day we made our way via Customs & Border Protection in Jacksonville where we deposit our boat registration certificate. This is because we do not have a cruising permit in the United States at the moment. We have so-called "decal" and the problem is not so big. Thereafter the rental car to the airport in Miami.</div>

The flight booking was with Norwegian via Gatwick, London. Then to Helsinki. Had booked SAS from Helsinki to Stockholm and from there to Gothenburg. The departure from Helsinki to Stockholm was the day after arrival in Helsinki. We were a little concerned about this as Finland has closed their borders due to the Corona virus. Would have resulted in an overnight stay at the airport in Helsinki. Found out that we could fly RyanAir directly from London to Gothenburg. However, RyanAir departs from Stanstead Airport which is north of London. Gatwick is located south of London. Booked a rental car at Gatwick and drove to Stanstead. We did not know for sure if we had the opportunity to enter England with regard to Corona which has closed most borders. However, it turned out not to be a problem. Had to wait for departure a few hours at Stanstead. In these Corona times, there was no serving at the restaurants at the airport. Some of the restaurants had "take-away" but you were not allowed to sit in the restaurants. No beer or wine was served anywhere.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Landed at Landvetter, Gothenburg at 10 p.m. The car rental companies at Landvetter were of course closed and we stayed overnight at the airport until the car rental company opened at 10am the next day. Got a rental car and took us home.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
This sailing season has not become as we planned. Repairs after a collision with a log have taken a long time at Thunderbolt Boatyard and since then the Corona virus has affected a lot at the end of the season and we later chosed to cancel, take <i>Balance</i> on the hard and fly home while it is possible to do so.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We hope that the Corona situation will improve during the summer and that we can return to <i>Balance</i> in the fall, but no one knows anything about how it will be.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Since <i>Balance</i> is now on the hard and we are at home at Bohus-Malmön in Sweden, we are now taking a break from the blog until we are back on board <i>Balance</i>.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">(In English below)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi låg i Vero Beach och väntade på väder för att segla till Bahamas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Är väldigt förtjusta i att segla i Bahamas och trivs väldigt bra där. I år har vi blivit försenade fyra månader pga reparationer och därför har vårt cruising permit hunnit gå ut innan vi hunnit ut ur USA.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Så just i år är ett skäl för oss att komma över till Bahamas att vi behöver komma ut ur USA för att senare (minst 15 dagar) kunna komma tillbaka och få ett nytt cruising permit.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Efter senaste tidens utveckling av Corona-viruset och restriktioner från olika länder, bl.a. USA, har vi blivit oroliga att vi eventuellt skulle kunna möta problem vid återkomsten till USA från Bahamas. För närvarande har USA infört stopp för flyg från Europa till USA. Detta gäller ännu inte för båtar som ankommer USA. Dock har många andra länder infört stopp för ankomst med båt, t.ex. Panama, San Blas, Colombia, Honduras, Kanarieöarna, Madeira, Azorerna. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Funderar över möjligheterna att kunna flyga hem till Sverige. Om inga plan får flyga från Europa till USA lär ju planen ”ta slut” om de bara flyger från USA till Europa. Och hur länge gör dom det?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Har läst att Norwegian Airlines (som vi brukar flyga med) ställer in 3-4000 flygningar april-maj. Dessutom florerar rykten om att de är konkursmässiga.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vi tog en diskussion med tjänstemannen på CBP (Customs & Border Protection) i Fort Pierce om vår situation. Han ger oss möjlighet att gå till Green Cove Springs för att där ta Balance på land. När vi kommer dit får vi kontakta CBP och deponera våra båtpapper där innan vi lämnar landet. (Detta eftersom vi f.n. inte har cruising permit).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Lyckas omboka flygbiljetter vi har till avgång från Orlando den 22 mars. Risken i dessa tider är att flygningen blir inställd men vi hoppas på det bästa.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Ankommer Green Cove Springs ett par dagar dessförinnan och hoppas hinna lyfta på land och förbereda båten för minst ett halvår på land. Hoppas verkligen situationen med Corona-viruset förbättrats till i höst när vi hoppas vara tillbaka.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Känner oss lite grand som att vi flyr från USA. Och vart flyr vi, jo till Sverige. Vem vet om det är bättre? Känns som att man känner sig tryggast när man är i sitt hem. Kanske vore det bättre att ankra upp i en vik i Bahamas med båten fullastad med proviant, gott om solpaneler som genererar ström, water maker som ger obegränsat med dricksvatten. Inte vara i kontakt med andra människor och vänta ut tiden…. Men sen blir det orkansäsong från juni och då är det kanske inte så kul att ligga ankrad i den fina viken i Bahamas…..</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
We were waiting in Vero Beach to find a weather window to do the crossing to the Bahamas.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
We are very fond of sailing in the Bahamas and like it a lot there. This year we have been delayed four months because of repairs and therefore our cruising permit has expired before we have been able to get out of USA.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
So this year, one reason for us to get to the Bahamas is that we need to get out of USA to later, at least 15 days, get back to get a new cruising permit.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
What has happened in the development of the Corona virus the latest days worries us a lot. One thing that worries us is whether they will let us into the USA after a time in the Bahamas. This far, USA do not permit flights from Europe to USA. Many other countries like Panama, San Blas, Colombia, Honduras, Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores do not any longer allow boats to enter their countries.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
Thinking of the possibilities to be able to fly home to Sweden. If there are no flights from Europe to USA there will probably not be any flights the other way neither. We have read that Norwegian Airlines, that we usually fly with, will cancel 3-4000 flights in April-May. There are also rumors that they are ready for bankruptcy.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
We had a discussion with the officer at CBP (Customs & Border Protection) in Fort Pierce about our situation. He gives us the possibility of going to Green Cove Springs to take Balance on the hard. When we arrive there we will have to contact CBP and leave our boat papers in deposit before we leave the country. (This is because we at the moment don’t have a cruising permit)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
We were able to change flight tickets that we have for departure from Orlando March 22. There is always a risk these days that the flight might be cancelled but we hope for the best.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
We plan to arrive at Green Cove Springs a couple of days before our flight departure and hope to be able to haul out and prepare the boat for at least half a year on the hard. Really hoping the situation with the Corona virus will be better in the fall when we hope to be back.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
Feels a bit like we are trying to escape from USA. Escape to where? To Sweden. Who knows if that is any better? We feel like you feel safer when being in your own home. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">
Maybe it would be safer to anchor the boat in a nice bay in the Bahamas. The boat fully provisioned, lots of solar panels that generates power, water maker that produces lots of drinking water. Not being in touch with any other people and wait for the virus to disappear….But then comes the hurricane season from June and then maybe it is not so much fun being anchored in the nice bay in the Bahamas….</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi befinner oss sedan en tid i Vero Beach i Florida. Väntar på lämpliga vindar att ta oss över till Bahamas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Ungefär fyra månader försenade är vi efter reparationerna vi fått göra i Savannah. Ett problem som kommit genom förseningen är att vårt ”cruising permit” - seglingstillstånd, löpt ut. När man klarerar in en fritidsbåt i USA får man upp till 12 månaders cruising permit. Vårt cruising permit gick ut den 28 februari. Vi har varit hos Customs & Border Protection i Fort Pierce där vi häromåret fick hjälp att förlänga vårt cruising permit. Nu var detta dock helt omöjligt. Ett bekymmer är att bestämmelserna inte alltid tolkas lika på de olika Customs & Border Protection-kontoren och det verkar ibland också som att de olika officerarna tolkar olika.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Har i alla fall fått till en lösning som funkar för oss. Vi har fått ett tillstånd att stanna med båten i USA upp till 12 månader. Får röra oss inom countyt och det innebär att vi får segla till West Palm Beach som funkar som utgångsläge för segling till Bahamas. Innan vi lämnar landet skall vi klarera ut och då få tillbaka våra båtpapper som nu är deponerade hos Customs & Border Protection.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vero Beach City Marina där vi nu befinner oss är ett trevligt ställe att stanna när man seglar längs Floridas ostkust. Vi har varit här ganska många gånger tidigare och träffar folk som vi känner sedan tidigare. När man kommer till marinan blir man anvisad plats vid en boj. Ofta får man dela bojen med någon annan båt. Ett trevligt sätt att träffa nya vänner. Träffar Earl och Kathy från båten <i>Seeker </i>som vi delade boj med för fyra år sedan!</div>

Båten förtöjer man vid en boj. Iland finns en dingebrygga där man förtöjer sin dinge. Iland finns också marinaanläggningen med duschar, toaletter, tvättmaskiner, lounge med TV och WiFi, dieselbrygga etc. Tre gånger per vecka kan man bli besökt av pump-out båten som tömmer toa-tanken. Här finns en gratis-buss som kommer en gång per timme och ger gratis resa till ett enormt stort shoppingområde. Ett perfekt ställe att proviantera innan man seglar över till Bahamas. Det är absolut skäl att fylla både kyl och frys med proviant innan man seglar till Bahamas då det är stor prisskillnad och också ett mer begränsat utbud i Bahamas.</div>

Varje morgon har man ett radionätverk för att upprätthålla kontakt och information i marinaområdet. Ett antal gemensamma träffar och sammankomster blir det varje vecka.</div>

Det är många som ligger här ganska länge. Skämtsamt kallas marinan ibland för ”Velcro Beach Marina”. (Velcro = kardborre). Det är lätt att ”fastna” här.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We are since a while in Vero Beach City Marina in Florida. Waiting for a weather window to do the crossing to the Bahamas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We are around four months delayed from the repairs we had to do in Savannah. One problem that came from the delay is that our cruising permit has expired. When you clear in a pleasure boat into the USA you can get a cruising permit valid up to 12 months. Our cruising permit expired February 28th. We have been to the Customs & Border Protection in Fort Pierce who helped us the other year by extending our cruising permit. However this time it was completely impossible. One problem is that the rules are not always interpreted the same way in all the Customs & Border Protection offices. Even the officers sometimes seem to interpret in their own ways.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Anyway we have had an agreement that is OK for us. We have received a permission to stay with the boat in USA for 12 months. We are allowed to move the boat within the county making it possible for us to sail to West Palm Beach which is OK for departure to the Bahamas. Before we leave the country we will have to clear out from USA and will then receive our boat papers that now are deposited at the Customs & Border Protection.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vero Beach City Marina where we now are is a nice place to stay when sailing along the US East Coast. We have been here some times before and we meet people here that we have met before.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
When you arrive at the marina they advice you a mooring ball to go to. Often you have to raft up together with another boat at the mooring ball. Nice way to get new friends! We meet with Earl and Kathy from the boat <i>Seeker </i>that we were rafted together with four years ago!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The boat is tied up to a mooring bouy and ashore there is a good dingy-dock. Ashore is also the marina building with showers, toilets, washing mashines, lounge with TV and WiFi, diesel dock etc. Three times a week you can be visited by the pump-out boat that takes care of your wastewater tank. Here are also free buses once an hour that takes you to an enormous shopping area. Perfect place for provisioning before sailing to the Bahamas. There is absolutely a good reason to fill your fridge and freezer as it is a lot cheaper here than in the Bahamas and also a much bigger assortment.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Every morning there is a radio network to keep contact between the cruisers and for information about the activities in the area. Usually several meetings and gatherings every week.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Many cruisers stay here for quite some time. The marina is sometimes called ”Velcro Beach Marina” as it is so easy to get stucked here.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Nu är vi tillbaka i <i>Balance</i> och på väg söderut mot Florida och Bahamas efter fyra månaders försening.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I tre och en halv månad har vi stått på land hos Thunderbolt Marine i Savannah, Georgia. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vi har nu fyra nya motorfästen, ny propelleraxel, ny axeltätning, nytt cutlesslager. Just nu använder vi vår fasta reservpropeller men en</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
ny J-Prop är beställd. J-Prop är en s.k. flöjlande propeller.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Orsaken till våra skador som började med att ett motorfäste gick av var till en början svår att härleda. När det uppdagades att propellern var skadad, vilket egentligen inte syntes utifrån, kunde vi förstå orsakerna. Vi vet att vi körde på en stock på ICW på väg mot Georgetown i South Carolina. Vi märkte inte några skador vid träffen av stocken. Stannade två nätter i Georgetown. När vi sedan gick ut till havs för att segla mot St Augustine i Florida körde vi motor några timmar när vinden dog ut. Då gick motorfästet av. Troligtvis har fästet fått en spricka som förvärrats vid motorkörning och lett till att det småningom gick av. Med vidare följdskador.</div>

Vädret i Savannah var svalt, endast några få +grader när vi lämnade Thunderbolt Marine vid lunchtid lördagen den 22 februari. Seglade mot St Augustine i Florida ca 135 sjömil. Kom fram till St Augustine på morgonen och fick en boj i marinan. Under dagen hade vi trevligt besök och samvaro med Pam Richards som är OCC Port Officer i Green Cove Springs och Ann och Brad från båten <i>AnnTeak </i>som de just sålt i Green Cove Springs.</div>

Måndagen den 24 februari kom vi iväg omkring 07 och gick mot Daytona dit vi anlände på eftermiddagen. Hade lite ärenden att utföra där och avslutade kvällen med middag på piren i Daytona.</div>

Tisdagen den 25 februari fortsatte vi färden söderut och anlände vid 1630-tiden till Cocoa där vi ankrade norr om bron. Hade sydlig vind hela dagen, dvs motvind. Hade varm jacka hela dagen men när vi ankrat i Cocoa känner vi plötsligt att det är jättevarmt. Av med alla varma kläder. På med shorts. Här börjar det ”varma Florida”.</div>

<span style="background-color: #f6f7f9; color: #1a1a1a;">The weather in Savannah was cold, only a few degrees when we left Thunderbolt Marine at lunchtime on Saturday, February 22nd. Sailed towards St. Augustine in Florida about 135 nautical miles. Arrived at St. Augustine in the morning and got a buoy in the marina. During the day we had a nice visit and meeting with Pam Richards who is OCC Port Officer in Green Cove Springs and Ann and Brad from the AnnTeak boat that they just sold in Green Cove Springs.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Bloggandet har inte kommit igång så bra denna säsongen. Ärligt talat, det har varit lite motgångar och inspirationen har inte riktigt infunnit sig.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Det började egentligen redan vid flygningen från Göteborg till New York. Vi hade byte på Gatwick, London. Planet dit var försenat och väskorna hann inte bli omlastade till New York-planet. Det var knappt att vi själva hann med. När vi kom springande till boardingen väntade man på oss och frågade: ”Är detta Kerstin och Staffan Agnetun?” Det var bara vi som saknades före avgång.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
När vi landade på JFK i New York fick vi anmäla våra saknade väskor (2 st). Vi har en ganska bra försäkring genom kreditkortsföretaget vi använder. Man får handla kläder eller annat för 4.000 SEK per väska direkt när bagaget saknas. Sedan lika mycket när bagaget varit borta i 24 timmar. Vi fick alltså nya kläder för 16.000 SEK. Men bagaget var borta i 4 dygn!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vi tar en hyrbil på JFK-flygplatsen och kör till Deltaville. När vi sitter och kör hör vi plötsligt en liten smäll och ser en spricka i vindrutan som växer och blir några dm lång. Hyrbilsföretaget vill ha ersättning för detta och det blir 169 dollar.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vi hade förberett oss för att sjösätta snabbt efter ankomst till Deltaville Boatyard där <i>Balance</i> stått på land under orkansäsongen. Planen var sedan att segla norrut till Annapolis. Där skulle vi besöka Annapolis Boatshow och träffa flera av våra amerikanska cruising-kompisar. Väskorna var borta i fyra dagar. I väskorna hade vi en del reservdelar och utrustning som skulle monteras före sjösättningen. På så vis blev sjösättningen så försenad att vi inte hann ta oss till Annapolis Boatshow. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Började istället vår långa färd mot Florida. Hade ett trevligt stopp i Norfolk hos OCC Port Officers Greta och Gary. De hade passat på att också bjuda dit våra gemensamma vänner David och Marilyn från <i>Blue Yonder</i> som bor i närheten. David och Marilyn har vi seglat tillsammans med både i Florida och i Bahamas. Förra året seglade de <i>Blue Yonder</i> till Europa. Marilyn kunde då inte vara med på första etappen från Fort Lauderdale till Bermuda. Istället följde jag med som gast och kock ombord. Två medelålders män på en 1000 sjömil segling. Eller kanske man numera säger ”två äldre medelålders män” eller rentav ”två äldre män”. Vi känner oss i alla fall som pojkar när vi seglar!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Fortsatte färden söderut via Intracoastal Waterway. I Oriental träffade vi OCC Port Officers Ann och Neville. Vi har träffat dem tidigare. Tillsammans har de en livshistoria som är fylld av äventyr, spänning, umbäranden och romans. Så trevligt att lyssna på dem. Deras liv borde bli en film!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Hade min Nikon systemkamera av hyfsat avancerad och dyr modell liggande bredvid mig på sittbrunnsbänken när jag står och styr. En svallvåg gjorde att kameran rullade runt och ner på durken. Därefter helt död. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
När vi kom till Georgetown i South Carolina fick vi ett väderfönster som var lämpligt för offshore segling därifrån till St Augustine i Florida. En sträcka på ca 240 sjömil. Vi lämnar Georgetown i gryningen och får fin segling till eftermiddagen då det mojnar. Vi startar motor och motorseglar ett antal timmar när vi plötsligt känner vibrationer från motorn. Konstaterar att ett motorfäste gått sönder. Strax därefter hörs en kraftig smäll. Stänger av motorn direkt. Konstaterar att övriga tre motorfästen också gått av. Samtidigt upptäcker vi ett vattenläckage i propelleraxeltätningen. Just nu är vår situation en aning problematisk. Trycker in lite fett i axeltätningen som reducerar läckaget.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Vi befinner oss ungefär 50 sjömil från kusten och har väldigt lite vind. Sätter i alla fall kurs mot Beaufort i South Carolina och seglar i en fart om ca 2 knop. Det tar alltså ca ett dygn att komma dit. Vid inloppet till Beaufort får vi en motström om 3 knop. Nu börjar det bli lite besvärligt!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I USA finns en fantastisk organisation som heter BoatUS. BoatUS har bogserbåtar längs hela kusten. Båtarna är motorbåtar vanligtvis 26-30 fot med oftast 2-3 utombordare om 150-250 hk. Bogserbåtsägarna är franchisetagare till BoatUS. BoatUS har förutom bogserförsäkring även övriga båtförsäkringstjänster. Redan när vi första gången kom till USA 2016 valde vi att bli medlemmar. När man färdas längs Intracoastal Waterways finns alltid en risk att gå på grund. Vi har också gjort det vid några tillfällen men aldrig fastnat så att vi inte kommit loss. Men om man fastnar kan man ringa BoatUS så kommer de och hjälper till och det är helt utan kostnad om man är medlem. Kan bli ganska dyrt om man inte är medlem.</div>

När vi nu mötte 3 knops motström i svag vind valde vi att ringa BoatUS som skickade ut en båt som mötte oss. Drog oss sedan till en marina som skulle hjälpa oss med lyft på land och reparation. Vi talade med dem på vägen in och fick förtroende.</div>

När vi sedan väntat på att de skulle komma och inspektera skadorna i en vecka utan att de visat sig tappade jag tålamodet. Hade blivit bekant med två seglare i marinan som rekommenderade mig att kontakta Thunderbolt Marine utanför Savannah. Pratade med dem och de sa att de var väldigt fullbokade men skulle försöka hjälpa mig. Ringde så till BoatUS och förhörde mig om möjligheten att bli bogserad dit. Nu var det ju inte fråga om ”emergency” och dessutom var det mer än 25 sjömil så killen jag pratade med sa att jag skulle få betala 50% av bogseringskostnaden. När de trevliga bogserbåtskillarna lämnade mig vid Thunderbolt Marine sa skepparen att ”nu har du just tjänat 1.800 dollar (=ca 18.000 SEK) som bogseringen skulle kostat och detta för att du är medlem!”</div>

Kerstins mor är 100 år gammal och vi hade hört hemifrån att hon blivit lite sämre. Vi tyckte nu båda att Kerstin borde åka hem och se till mamma. Tror inte heller att Kerstin tycker det är speciellt spännande att vara i båten när den står på varv. Och helt ärligt, det tycker inte jag heller! Lyckligtvis visar det sig att mamma inte är så dålig trots allt!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Thunderbolt Marine är en stor marina/varv. De flesta båtarna här är s.k. superyachts. En liten bit ifrån mig står en fritidsmotorbåt som är 60 meter lång. Fascinerande att se hur de kan flytta runt dessa jättestora båtar med hjälp av ett rälssystem. De har fyra inomhushallar där vår båt utan vidare skulle kunna tas in med masten på! Travelliften som de använder för ”mindre” båtar lyfter 160 ton.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Även om allting här på marinan verkar imponerande så tar allting väldigt lång tid. Väntade ca 10 dagar innan de lyfte oss på land. Sedan fick vi bytt motorfästena. Därefter har propelleraxeln tagits ut och konstaterats vara skadad. Ny axel beställd.Visar sig att vi behöver en ny axelkoppling. Så finns den inte att få tag på i USA och behöver beställas från Europa. Får ett kostnadsförslag på detta som innebär att frakten skulle gå på 440 dollar. (ca 4400 SEK). Detta är helt orimligt! Skickade ett mail till Peter Hansson på Hallberg-Rassy Parts i Ellös. Han hade inte delen hemma men skulle få hem den på en dag. Beställde! Fraktkostnaden blev ca 70 dollar istället för 440 dollar. Peter på HR-Parts har hjälpt oss många gånger under åren vi varit ute och seglat och servicen vi får är ovärderlig.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Så nu blir det lite väntan igen, dels på nya axeln som tillverkas lokalt och axelkopplingen som kommer från Ellös. Hörde av Peter att vi kunnat få levererat även axeln från Hallberg-Rassy vilket säkerligen blivit både billigare och gått snabbare men tänkte inte på det.</div>

Kommande veckan är det Thanksgiving-firande på torsdagen den 28 november. Då är nästan allting stängt i USA och man firar med kalkonmiddag tillsammans med familj och vänner.</div>

Förra året firade vi detta hos OCC Port Officers Pam och Frank i Green Cove Springs där vi då stod med båten på land i marinan där. Häromveckan fick jag en inbjudan från Pam om att komma dit på Thanksgiving. Jag har nu tackat ja till att komma dit och har bokat en bil hos Hertz och kör dit på onsdag, ca 280 km, och tillbaka till båten på fredag. Det är en härlig känsla att ha vänner så här långt hemifrån som bryr sig om att ta hand om mig när jag är ensam här. Skall också bli väldigt skönt att komma bort från varvet ett par dagar. Och roligt att träffa flera vänner från tiden när vi hade båten på marinan i Green Cove Springs.</div>

Under tiden som Kerstin varit hemma i Sverige har hon tittat på ett hus som vi under en tid varit intresserade av att köpa. Nu blev det plötsligt skarpt läge och jag fick hastigt sätta mig på ett flyg och ta mig hem för kontraktsskrivning. Gjorde upp med killarna på varvet om att de skulle få båten färdig under tiden jag var borta så vi kunde sjösätta när jag kom tillbaka. När jag kom tillbaka visade det sig att axeln kommit dagen innan och nu var den mekanikern som skulle sätta ihop delarna borta……..</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We have had some problems when starting up this season so the blog has not yet been updated…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
It really started already on the flight from Gothenburg to New York. We had to change plane at Gatwick, London. The plane there was delayed and the bags could not be reloaded to the New York flight in time. We hardly managed to catch the plane to New York ourselves. We had to run and when we arrived to the boarding they asked ”are you Kerstin and Staffan Agnetun?” They were waiting only for us, the only missing passengers.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
When we landed at JFK in New York we had to report our missing bags (2). We have a pretty good insurance through the credit card company we use. You can buy clothes for SEK 4.000 (400 dollars) per bag immediately when the luggage is missing. Then just as much when the luggage has been missing for 24 hours. So we got new clothes for 16.000 SEK. But the luggage was gone for four days!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We rented a car at JFK Airport and drove to Deltaville. When driving we suddenly heard a small bang and saw a crack in the windshield that grows and becomes around 8-10 inches long. The rental car company wants compensation for this and it was 169 USD.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We had prepared to launch quickly after arriving at Deltaville Boatyard where we have stored <i>Balance</i> during the hurricane season. The plan was to sail north to Annapolis. There we would visit the Annapolis Boat Show and meet several of our American cruising friends. The bags were gone for four days. In the bags we had some spare parts and equipment that would be mounted before launching. In this way, the launch was so delayed that we could not get to the Annapolis Boat Show.</div>

Instead, we started our long journey to Florida. Had a nice stop in Norfolk with OCC Port Officers Greta and Gary. They had also invited our mutual friends David and Marilyn from <i>Blue Yonder</i> who live nearby. We have sailed together with David and Marilyn both in Florida and in the Bahamas. Last year they sailed<i> Blue Yonder</i> to Europe. Marilyn was not able to join the first part from Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda. Instead, I joined as crew. Two middle-aged men on a 1000-mile sail. Or maybe one now says ”two elderly middle-aged men” or even ”two older men”. At least we feel like boys when we are sailing!</div>

We continued our journey south via the Intracoastal Waterway. In Oriental we met OCC Port Officers Ann and Neville. We have met them before. Together, they have a life story full of adventure, excitement, hardships and romance. So nice to listen to them. Their lives should be a movie!</div>

Had my Nikon SLR camera, of rather expensive model lying next to me on the cockpit bench when I was steering. A surge caused the camera to roll around and down on the floor. Then completely dead.</div>

When we arrived in Georgetown, South Carolina, we got a weather window suitable for offshore sailing from there to St. Augustine in Florida. A distance of around 240 nautical miles. We left Georgetown at dawn and had nice sailing until the afternoon when the wind drops down. We started the engine and motor sailed for some hours when we suddenly feel vibrations from the engine. Notes that one engine mount has broken. Shortly thereafter, a loud bang is heard. Shuts off the engine immediately. Discovered that the other three engine mounts also broke. At the same time, we discover a water leak from the propeller shaft seal. Right now, our situation is a bit problematic. Presses some grease into the shaft seal which reduces the leak.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
We are about 50 miles offshore and have very little wind. We head towards Beaufort in South Carolina and sail at a speed of about 2 knots. So it takes around 24 hours to get there. At the inlet to Beaufort we get a counter current of 3 knots. Now it is getting a little awkward!</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In the US there is a fantastic organization called BoatUS. BoatUS have tugboats along the entire coast. The boats are usually motor boats 26-30 feet with usually 2-3 outboards of 150-250 hp. The tugboat owners are franchisees of BoatUS. In addition to towing insurance, BoatUS also has other boat insurance services. Already when we first came to the US in 2016 we became members. When traveling along the Intracoastal Waterways there is always a risk of running aground. We have also done it on a few occasions but never got stuck so we did not get loose. But if you get stuck you can call BoatUS and they come and help and it is completely free of charge if you are a member. Can be quite expensive if you are not a member.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
When we now met 3 knots counter current in the weak wind we called BoatUS who sent a tugboat that met us. Then towed us to a marina that would help us with repairs and hauling out. We talked to them on the way in and gained confidence.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
When we had been waiting for them to come and inspect the damage for a week without showing up, I lost patience. Had become acquainted with two sailors in the marina who recommended me to contact Thunderbolt Marine outside Savannah. Talked to them and they said they were very booked but would try to help me. Then called BoatUS and asked about the possibility of being towed there. Now it wasn’t a matter of ”emergency” and in addition it was more than 25 nautical miles so the guy I talked to said that I would have to pay 50% of the towing cost. When the nice tugboat captain left me at Thunderbolt Marine, he said that ”you have just earned 1.800 USD (=about SEK 18.000) that the towing would cost and this is because you are a member!”</div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Kerstins mother is 100 years old and we had heard from home that she had some health issues. We both thought that Kerstin should go home and see mom. Also, do not think Kerstin thinks it is particularly exciting to be in the boat when it is on the hard at the yard. And quite frankly, neither do I! Fortunately, it turns out that mom is not that bad after all!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Thunderbolt Marine is a large marina / shipyard. Most of the boats here are superyachts. A short distance from me is a leisure motor boat that is 60 meters long. Fascinating to see how they can move around these huge boats using a rail system. They have four indoor halls where our boat could easily be taken in with the mast on! The travel lift they use for ”smaller” boats takes 160 tonnes.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Although everything here at the marina seems impressive, everything takes very long time. Waited about 10 days before they hauled us out. Then we had the engine mounts changed. Subsequently, the propeller shaft has been removed and found to be damaged. New shaft ordered. Turns out we need a new shaft coupling. The coupling is not available in the US and needs to be ordered from Europe. Receives a cost proposal for this which means that the freight would be 440 USD. (about SEK 4.400). This is completely unreasonable! Sent an email to Peter Hansson at Hallberg-Rassy Parts in Ellös. He did not have the part at home but would get it in one day. Ordered! Shipping cost was about 70 USD instead of 440 USD. Peter at HR-Parts has helped us many times over the years we have been out sailing and the service we receive is invaluable.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>

So now there will be some waiting again, partly for the new shaft manufactured locally and the shaft coupling that comes from Ellös. Heard from Peter that we could also have had the shaft delivered from Hallberg-Rassy, which probably had become both cheaper and faster.</div>

Next week is the Thanksgiving celebration on Thursday, November 28. Then almost everything is closed in the US and you celebrate with turkey dinner together with family and friends.</div>

Last year we celebrated this with OCC Port Officers Pam and Frank in Green Cove Springs where we kept <i>Balance</i> at that time. The other week I received an invitation from Pam to come there on Thanksgiving. I have now agreed to get there and have booked a car with Hertz and will drive there on Wednesday, about 280 km, and back to the boat on Saturday. It’s a wonderful feeling to have friends this far from home who care about taking care of me when I’m alone here. Will also be very nice to get away from the yard for a few days. And fun to meet several friends from the time we had <i>Balance</i> at the marina in Green Cove Springs.</div>

During Kerstins stay in Sweden, she has been looking at a house that we have been interested in buying for some time. Now it suddenly became a sharp situation and I quickly had to get on a flight and get home for signing the contract on the house. Made up with the guys on the shipyard that they would get the boat ready while I was away so we could launch when I got back. When I came back it turned out that the shaft had arrived they day before and now the mechanic who was to put the parts together had a day off……</div>

<i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Balance</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> står nu på land hos Deltaville Boatyard i Chesapeake, Virginia. Vi har lyckats hitta en trevlig välskött marina med god ordning, rent och snyggt. Man har tillgång till en bil som man lånar utan kostnad för att uträtta ärenden i omgivningarna. I trakten finns en mängd företag med marin anknytning. Vi lämnade in två försegel till Ullmans Segelmakeri för en smärre reparation, ett justeringsarbete och nya sömmar i UV-skydden och fick reparerat vår gamla utombordare. I byn finns en West Marine-butik, en välsorterad järnaffär och en bra livsmedelsbutik. I stort sett allt man behöver!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">När vi låg i Portsmouth, Virginia blev vi rekommenderade att besöka Commodore Theatre. Låter som det är en teater men det är en biograf. Dock en något annorlunda biograf. Inga vanliga bio-säten i denna bion. Istället är biograflokalen utformad som en restaurang, med två, fyra och sex platser per bord. På bordet finns en telefon. När man läst menyn ringer man till köket och beställer och efter en stund kommer en servitör till bordet och serverar det man beställt.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Sen börjar filmen! Vi visste egentligen inte vad det var för film vi skulle se. Det var helt enkelt inte så viktigt, vi var ute efter själva upplevelsen.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Tyckte nog att filmen var lite väl mycket science-fiction för vår smak. Också att det var otroligt mycket våld. Våld nästan konstant i tre timmar som filmen höll på.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Filmen hette </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Avengers: Endgame</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> och drog under helgen som vi såg filmen in 350 miljoner dollar i USA och 1,2 miljarder dollar globalt!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">When we stayed in Portsmouth, Virginia we were recommended to visit Commodore Theatre. Sounds like it is a theatre but it is a cinema. However a rather different cinema. There are no ”cinema-seats”. Instead the cinema is made like a restaurang with two, four and six seats per table. On the table there is a telephone. When you have read the menu you call the kitchen with your order and after a while comes a waiter to the table serving what you have ordered.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Then starts the movie! We did not actually know what kind of film we were going to see. It was not so important, we were there for the experience.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We thought, however, that the film was a little too much science-fiction for our taste. There was also an incredible amount of violence. Violence almost constantly during three hours that the film lasted.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The name of the film was </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Avengers: Endgame </i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">and during the weekend that we saw the film the turnover was 350 million dollars in USA and 1,2 billion dollars worldwide!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The price for tickets to the nice cinema was 10 dollars/person if you payed with creditcard, however 9 dollars/person if you payed cash.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Kom till staden Oriental i North Carolina. På en del platser längs ICW finns ”gratis-marinor” och i Oriental finns en. Det grundade upp kraftigt vid bryggan när vi lade till. Tyckte det kändes som att vi lutade något på morgonen när vi vaknade. Ekolodet visade 1,2 meter! Men vi tog oss loss och det gick bra.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">På kvällen stannade en kvinna sin cykel och kom ut på bryggan. Pekade på vår OCC-klubbflagga och sa ”you are flying fish!”. Visade sig att vi nu träffat Ann Clement som tillsammans med sin man Neville är Port Officers för OCC (Ocean Cruising Club) i Oriental.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Hon ville absolut att vi skulle följa med henne hem och träffa hennes man Neville vilket vi gjorde. Det blev en fantastisk kväll med fantastiska berättelser och ett möte med fantastiska människor! Neville föddes i Wales och bodde i England när Ann ensamseglade sin 28 fots segelbåt över Atlanten. När båten seglades tillbaka till USA var Neville med ombord. Tillsammans byggde de senare en 46 fots katamaran som de seglade i många år. Med ålderns rätt har de nu en motorseglare. Neville är 82 år, Ann är 75. Vi tänker träffa dem igen till hösten när vi går söderut. Om vi hinner! De avseglar i November mot Bahamas! Eller så träffar vi dem där.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Genom hela Alligator River, en sträcka på omkring 40 sjömil, mötte vi endast en båt. Alligator River går genom ett vildmarksområde. Med tanke på vattendragets namn hade vi kanske trott vi skulle se några sådana djur men det gjorde vi inte. Enligt guideboken kunde man eventuellt få se svartbjörn i området men det gjorde vi inte heller. Vi såg den amerikanska nationalfågeln ”Bald Headed Eagle” eller ”vithövdad havsörn” och en del sköldpaddor.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Efter broöppningen vid Alligator River Bridge tog vi 90 grader babord in till Alligator River Marina. Där fyllde vi diesel till bra pris och bokade in oss för två nätter. Detta med tanke på ett annalkande oväder. Inatt väntas stormvindar. När vi kom in till den lilla marinan var vi enda båten där men senare kom en båt till. En väldigt liten men väl skyddad marina lokaliserad ”in the middle of nowhere”.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><br /></span>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Det blir nog påskfirande i Alligator River Marina för oss. Vi har ägg, sill, köttbullar och Linje-akvavit så vi klarar oss bra! Glad Påsk!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 10px;">(In English:)</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We arrived to Oriental in North Carolina. In some places along the ICW there are free docks and in Oriental there is one. It became rather shallow at the dock. Felt like the boat was leaning in the morning when we woke up. Depth sounder showing 1,2 meters (4 feet)! We came off and it was OK.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In the evening a woman stopped her bicycle and came out on the dock. Pointed on our OCC burgee and said ”you are flying fish!” It turned out that we had now met Ann Clement who together with her husband Neville are OCC (Ocean Cruising Club) Port Officers in Oriental.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">She insisted that we should follow her to her home to see her husband Neville which we did. It became a wonderful evening with amazing stories and a meeting with great people! Neville was born in Wales and lived in England when Ann singlehanded sailed her 28 foot boat across the Atlantic. When the boat was sailed back to USA they were both onboard. Together they later built a 46 foot catamaran that they sailed during many years. With the right of age they now have a motor sailor. Neville is 82 and Ann is 75. We plan on meeting them again in the fall when we are sailing south. However, in November they are on their way to the Bahamas so if we do not get there before then we might meet them in the Bahamas.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">All the way along the Alligator River, around 40 nautical miles, we only met one boat. Alligator River goes through a rather desert and wild area. Thinking of the name of the river we thought we might see some of those animals but we did not. According to the guide book you might see black bear in the area but we did not. We saw the American National bird the Bald Headed Eagle and some turtles.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">After the bridge opening at Alligator River Bridge we turned 90 degrees to port to Alligator River Marina. We filled diesel at a reasonable price and made reservation to stay two nights. This because of an approaching bad weather. Coming night storm winds are expected. When we arrived to the small marina we were the only boat there. Later one more boat arrived. The marina is very small but well protected and located ”in the middle of nowhere”.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><br /></span>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Looks like we will spend Easter in Alligator River Marina. We have eggs, Swedish herring, Swedish meatballs and Linje-akvavit so we will be fine! Happy Easter!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Stävade ut i havet från St Augustine i soluppgången och tog kurs mot Charleston i South Carolina. Omkring 200 sjömil som tog oss 34 timmar. Vi ankrade i Charleston och följande morgon hade vi tjock dimma. Hade tidvatten att passa på morgonen och tänkte först att vi skulle tvingas stanna en dag extra. Efter en stund lättade dimman något och vi startade vår väg norrut via ICW. (Intracoastal Waterways). Som Sven Yrvind sa: <i>”dimman är aldrig där man är, den är alltid en bit bort”. </i>Så sant! Nu kändes det dock som att den var ganska nära!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Tidvattensskillnaden i Charleston är 1,5 meter och de inledande delarna av ICW från Charleston kräver en del av högvattnet för att vara farbara.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vi har färdats norrut och söderut längs ICW i Florida ett antal gånger, men aldrig tidigare varit norr om Florida. Den första skillnaden vi märker är att det är färre båtar. Man måste också ha betydligt mer koll på tidvattnet då delar av South Carolina kan vara svårframkomliga vid lågvatten. Genom North Carolina har vi inte upplevt problem med grunt vatten mer än vid något enstaka tillfälle.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We headed out to the ocean from St Augustine in the sunrise towards Charleston in South Carolina. Around 200 nautical miles that took us 34 hours. We anchored in Charleston and the following morning we had heavy fog. We needed to leave when the tide was rising and thought at first that we might have to stay another day because of the fog. After a while the fog lightens a little and we started our way north on the ICW. (Intracoastal Waterways). As Sven Yrvind (Swedish long distance sailor in small boats and ”thinker”) said: <i>”The fog is never where you are, it is always a little bit away” </i>So true! However, now it felt like it was rather close!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The tide in Charleston is 5 feet and the first parts of the ICW from Charleston needs some high water to be navigable.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We have travelled the ICW in Florida a couple of times but we have never been north of Florida. The first we notice is that there are a lot less boats. You need to have a lot more check on the tides as parts of South Carolina can be difficult to navigate at low tide. Through North Carolina we have not had problems with low water except from one occasion.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi var tio båtar som låg vid Wardle´s Dock. Alla väntade på väder för att gå över Golfströmmen till Florida. De flesta amerikanska båtar lyssnar på Chris Parker som sänder väderprognoser för Bahamas, Karibien och Stilla Havet varje dag. Att lyssna på prognosen för Bahamas tar ungefär 30 minuter. Chris sänder på USB 8137. Om man har ett abonnemang med Chris får man prognoserna på mail och har möjlighet att kontakta honom för att få ”skräddarsydda” prognoser för exakt den rutt och tid man tänker segla. Chris Parker är en auktoritet och ingen går ut om han sagt att det blir dåligt väder.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vindprognosen som Chris gav sade att vinden till en början skulle vara ganska frisk 15-25 knop Ost och med en våghöjd på 6 fot (1,8 meter) men sedan vrida mot sydost och syd och minska till 10-15 knop.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vi tyckte detta var ganska perfekta förhållanden och det tyckte en av de andra båtarna också så vi blev två båtar som lämnade på lördagsmorgonen. Startade med ett rev i storseglet och genua. Våghöjden som avskräckt de övriga båtarna från att lämna blev omkring hälften. Sträckan vi hade framför oss var omkring 230 sjömil. Vinden räckte halva vägen sedan blev den så svag att vi kompletterade med motor. Angjorde Florida-kusten vid Fort Pierce och tog oss därefter den lilla biten upp till Vero Beach City Marina.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När man som utländsk båt ankommer till USA måste man klarera in hos US Customs and Border Protection. Innan man besöker dem måste man ha ett referensnummer. Tidigare fick man detta genom att ringa ett telefonnummer och besvara ett antal frågor. Nu har man moderniserat och utvecklat en app. Man går in på appen och fyller i svar på ett antal frågor, fotograferar sitt pass m.m.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">På Bahamas hade vi internetabonnemang hos ”alive” och vid seglingen mot Florida hade vi fantastiskt bra täckning ända upp till 35 sjömil från land.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Eftersom det är lite osäkert med internetåtkomst för oss vid ankomsten till USA passade jag på att fylla i appens frågor när vi seglade. Fick efter en stund ett svarsmail som säger att vår ansökan att komma in i USA har avslagits och att vi inte är välkomna in i landet!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Diskuterar och funderar över vad som blivit fel. Vi vet att våra pass är OK. Våra US-Visa är OK. Dokumentationen om båten är OK. Vårt tidigare cruising-permit skall vara utgånget innan man på nytt kommer in i landet. Det är utgånget men har någon gång hört att det skall vara utgånget med mer än 14 dagar vilket det inte är. Kan det vara problemet? Eller har FBI eller CIA snappat upp att jag sagt något negativt om presidenten……?</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Ankommer Vero Beach söndag kväll. På måndag morgon rakar jag mig för att se proper ut och tar på mig min finaste skjorta och Kerstin tar på sig en klänning och så tar vi oss till flygplatsen i Fort Pierce där US Customs and Border Protection har ett kontor.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Träffar en trevlig officer där och visar honom referensnumret jag fått men också att det står ”DENIED”. Han tycks inte bry sig så mycket men ger oss en del blanketter att fylla i. När vi fyllt i blanketterna har han under tiden varit inne i datasystemet och kollat upp oss. Han berättar då att felet vi gjort är att vi fyllt i appen innan vi var över gränsen till USA. De hade full koll på vår exakta position när vi fyllde i appen.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Har sedan fortsatt vår färd norrut på ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) och gjort stopp i Cocoa, Daytona och nu i St. Augustine. St Augustine är en vacker plats och USA:s äldsta stad. Här är en ganska stor marina där de flesta båtarna ligger vid boj. När jag kommer iland hälsas jag av en av marinakillarna: ”Hello Staffan, welcome back!” Ganska kul! Vi har ju varit här några gånger tidigare. Blir ett besök på hösten när vi går söderut och ett besök på våren när vi går norrut. Har ju gjort detta i tre år nu. Känns som at vi fortsätter med detta ett tag till för det är så himla roligt!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We were ten boats at Wardle´s Dock waiting for a weather window to do the crossing over the Gulf Stream to Florida. Most American boaters listen to Chris Parker who makes daily weather forecasts for the Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Pacific. To listen to the forecast for the Bahamas takes around 30 minutes. Chris broadcasts on USB 8137. If you have a subscription with Chris you receive his forecasts on email and you can contact him to have your own personal forecast for the route and time you wish. Chris Parker is an authority and almost nobody goes out if he says it is going to be bad weather.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The forecasts we heard from Chris said the wind at the beginning would be rather strong 15-25 knots from East, swell around 6 feet. Wind later changing towards Southeast and South diminishing to around 10-15 knots.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We thought this was rather perfect conditions and one of the other boats also thought that so we were two boats departing Saturday morning. Started with a reef in the main and genua.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The swell forecast of six feet that we think made the other boats wait until another day became around three feet. We had around 230 nm in front of us. The wind was enough for around half the way and then we supported with the engine. We arrived the Florida coast at Fort Pierce and then made the short trip to Vero Beach City Marina.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When you arrive to USA on a foreign flagged vessel you have to clear in at US Customs and Border Protection. Before that you need to have a reference number. Earlier you used to get this by making a phone call and answer some questions. Now they have modernized the routine and made an app.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When sailing in the Bahamas we had internet subscription with ”alive”. When sailing towards Florida we had extremely good internet all the way up to 35 nm away from land.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">As it is a little unsure with internet for us when we arrive to US I filled in the app while sailing as we had so good internet connection. After a little while I received a mail saying that ”Unfortunately, your U.S. CBP ROAM Trip ID xxxxx has not been approved and you may not enter the U.S. at this time.”</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Together we discussed what went wrong. We know that our passports are OK. Our US Visas are OK. The boat documentation is OK. Our earlier cruising permit shall be expired before you can enter the US again. It is expired but I think I have heard somebody saying it should be expired more than 14 days before you can enter again and that is not the case. Could this be the problem? Or has FBI or CIA heard anything about me mentioning anything negative about the president…….?</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We arrived Vero Beach Sunday evening. On Monday morning I shaved my face to look proper and put on my finest shirt and Kicki puts on a dress.

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We met a nice officer there and showed him the reference number I received but also that it says ”denied”. He seems not to care so much and gives us som papers to fill in. When we have done that he has meanwhile been in to the computer and made a check on us. He tells us that the mistake we did was to answer the app before we had crossed the boarder to US. They had 100% control over what our position was when we filled in the app.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We felt it as a huge problem when we received the mail with entrance denied but all problems were easily solved. We got our passports stamped and a new cruising permit for the time we wanted and everything is now good.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Later we have continued our travel northbound on ICW (Intracoastal Waterways) and made stops in Cocoa, Daytona and now in St Augustine. St Augustine is a beautiful place and the eldest city in USA. There is a rather big marina where most of the boats are on mooring bouys. When I came ashore I was greeted by one of the marina guys: ”Hello Staffan, welcome back!” Quite fun! We have now been here a couple of times. We visit once in the fall when we travel south and once in the spring when we go north. We have done this for three years now. It feels like we will go on doing this for still some time because it is so much fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Har legat ett par nätter vid Wardle´s Dock, Coral Harbor på New Providence Island. (Samma ö som Nassau ligger vid)</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Wardle´s Dock är ett speciellt ställe.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nick och Carolyn kom från England på 60-talet. Nick är revisor och fick jobb i Nassau och de flyttade hit som unga. Köpte marken som har en kaj mot en kanal där de kunde förtöja sin 50-fots motorseglare som de hade på den tiden. Byggde senare ett hus och nu hyr de ut kajen till gästande båtar. Det är egentligen inte en marina utan känns snarare som att förtöja i någons trädgård.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Varje dag lite före klockan 17 kommer Nick och ropar att det är ”rum o´clock time”. Då blir det samling med alla gästande båtar för eftermiddagsdrink med tillbehör där alla tar med sig något att bjuda på. En trevlig stund blir det varje dag.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Sista kvällen vi var här föreslogs att vi skulle ha ”pot luck” - knytkalas. Vi gjorde en Janssons Frestelse och tog också med oss lite Linje-akvavit som blev uppskattat. Vi stannade i tre dagar och vi var samma båtar som var här hela tiden och nu känns det som vi känt varandra länge.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Wardle´s Dock är ett perfekt ställe att vänta ut dåligt väder då det är väldigt skyddat för alla vindar.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I Nick och Carolyns carport står bilen som Nick körde till kontoret i Nassau med för en del år sedan. Det är en Morgan från 1969. Den har en Rover V8-motor men är inte i perfekt skick. Morgan-bilarna är byggda med träram och ramen är rutten. Förutom ramen är det nog en del småsaker att fixa. En del vaxning och polering behövs nog också. Och ett nytt glas till vänster bakljus……. Men troligen ett fynd för den händige.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Frågade Nick när han senast hade bilen igång och fick till svar: </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Years!</i></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Klockan 07.15 sänder Nick en väderprognos på vhf-radion kanal 72. Klockan 07.20 gör han det på USB 4003 och har gjort detta i många många år. Varje dag!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We have stayed a couple of nights at Wardle´s Dock, Coral Harbor at New Providence Island. (Same Island as Nassau is situated)</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Wardle´s Dock is a special place.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nick and Carolyn came here from England in the sixties. Nick is an accountant and got a job in Nassau and the young couple moved here. They bought the property which has a dock towards a canal where they could tie up their 50-foot motor sailor they had at that time. Later they built a house and now they rent out the dock for visiting yachts. It is not really a marina, more like mooring your boat to someones garden.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Every day a little before five Nick comes and says it´s ”rum o’clock time”. Then all the cruisers get together for afternoon drinks and everybody brings something to share. Nice time every day.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Our last evening it was suggested that we would all have a pot luck. We made a Janssons temptation and brought some Linje akvavit which seemed to be appreciated. We stayed here for three days and we were the same boats here all the time and now it feels like we have all known each others for long. Wardle´s Dock is the perfect spot to wait for good weather as it is protected from all winds.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In Nick and Carolyns carport is the car that Nick drove to his office in Nassau many years ago. It is a Morgan from 1969. It has a Rover V8-engine. It is however not in perfect condition. The Morgan cars are built with wooden frame and the frame is rotten. Except from the frame there are also some other things to do on the car. Some polishing and waxing is also required. And a new glass for the left rear lamp…..But probably a treasure for the handy man. </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I asked Nick when he last had the car running and the reply was: </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Years!</i></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">At 07.15 Nick has a weather forecast on vhf channel 72. At 07.20 he has it on USB 4003. He has done this for many many years. Every day!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi seglade från Georgetown på Exumas till Thompson Bay, Long Island. Stannade där några dagar och var bl.a. med på Mutton-festival (get). För oss var det första gången vi smakat get. Kanske dröjer till nästa gång….</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Från Long Island seglade vi sedan mot ö-kedjan Ragged Islands, en serie ganska avlägsna öar med få fastboende. Där har vi besökt Flamingo Cays, Buena Vista Cay, Doublebreasted Cay, Hog Cay, Duncan Town på Ragged Island. Internet eller mobilnät finns inte i dessa områden. Det sades att det finns mobilnät i Duncan Town. När vi kom dit visade det sig att mobilnätet ”gått sönder.” Några reparatörer verkar inte finnas i närheten.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När man pratar navigation i Bahamas förordas användandet av navigationsappar eller plottrar som använder Explorers sjökort. Det gör t.ex appen Garmin Bluecharts eller AquaMap. Man kan också använda Explorer charts i Open CPN. Raymarines plottrar använder Navionics. Det finns de som hävdar att Navionics fungerar i Bahamas men det är fel. Häromdagen passerade vi ett område där Navionics visade 3-4 meters djup. Explorer visade 2 meter vilket var samma djup som vårt ekolod visade. Så har det varit på flera platser vi varit. Vi använder själva Navionics i stort sett överallt men inte i Bahamas.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Seglar tillsammans med Robin och Corbett på </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Cookie Monster</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> och Diana och Bob på katamaranen </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Two of a Kind</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> och deras gäster Margie och Bill. Vi träffade Margie och Bill även förra året då de hade katamaranen </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Cool Cat</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> som de nu sålt och istället köpt ett hus i Florida. Seglar nu med sina kompisar istället.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Robin och Corbett har seglat tio år i Bahamas och visar oss en massa fina platser. De känner folk överallt och vi har på så sätt även träffat en del bofasta bahamier.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Träffade yrkesfiskaren Dan. Att vara fiskare här är ett tufft yrke. Dan har kompressor på sin båt så han kan gå ner med luftslang och plocka conchs och hummer på botten. För en tid sedan blev han skadad av en Lionfish och han har tidigare vårdats i tryckkammare i Nassau efter att ha blivit drabbad av dykarsjuka. Största uppköparen av hummer är den amerikanska restaurantkedjan </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Red Lobster.</i></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">På Buonavista Cay bodde Edward. Han var född på ön och ägde ön. När den senaste orkanen drog fram var han i övre 70-års åldern och bodde ensam på ön. På ön finns inget dricksvatten så han fick ro till en annan ö några sjömil bort för att hämta vatten. För att klara sig under orkanen band han fast sig själv vid ett träd. Dessutom naken då han räknade med att vindmotståndet var mindre då. Efter orkanen har Edward drabbats av stroke och inte kommit tillbaka till ön ännu.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I Duncan Town på Ragged Islands bor omkring 40 personer. Vid senaste orkanen evakuerades befolkningen men omkring 10 personer valde att stanna kvar för att hålla igång generatorerna som alstrar ström till frysarna där de förvarar hummer och conchs som är deras kapital. Alla barnen på ön, omkring 12 barn går nu i skola i Nassau då skolbyggnaden i Duncan Town är förstörd efter orkanen. Vår vän Robin som vi seglar tillsammans med är f.d. mattelärare från New Jersey. Hon arbetade som volontär-lärare på skolan i Duncan Town så sent som för två år sedan.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I Duncan Town finns ganska fina vägar men väldigt många av husen i byn är förstörda av orkanen. Trots de enorma skadorna på byn och det lilla befolkningsunderlaget finns det en livsmedelsbutik och en bar. På baren serverades vi jättegoda och kalla öl och en underbar måltid bestående av cracked conchs med french fries.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Det svenska försäkringsbolag som vi haft </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Balance</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> försäkrad hos i många år ville plötsligt inte längre försäkra oss när vi är i USA. Fick kontakt med brittiska Y Yachts där såväl premie som villkor är bättre. De kräver dock att båten befinner sig norr om 36 grader Nord under orkansäsongen. (1 juni till 31 oktober) Istället för att ta oss tillbaka till Green Cove Springs Marina i norra Florida, där vi landförvarat </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Balance</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> under tre orkansäsonger, lyfter vi i år </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Balance</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> på land i Deltaville i Chesapeake-området, lite söder om Washington. Vi påbörjar snart färden norrut och har 1200-1400 sjömil till Deltaville från där vi nu befinner oss.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We sailed from Georgetown on Exumas to Thompson Bay, Long Island. We stayed there for some days and among other things took part in a Mutton-festival (goat) First time we have ever had goat. Maybe it takes some time till next time…..</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">From Long Island we sailed to the chain of islands called Ragged Islands. Rather remote islands with very few people living there. We have visited Flamingo Cays, Buena Vista Cay, Doublebreasted Cay, Hog Cay, Duncan Town at Ragged Island. Internet or mobile nets do not exist in these areas. It was said there was a mobile net in Duncan Town. When we arrived it appeared to be broken and there were no technicians available to repair it.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When talking about navigation in the Bahamas it is recommended using navigational apps or plotters using the Explorer charts. Garmin Bluecharts and AquaMap uses the Explorer charts. You can also use the Explorer charts with Open CPN. Raymarine plotters uses Navionics. There are people saying that the Navionics work OK in the Bahamas but that is wrong. The other day we sailed through an area where the Navionics charts showed 3-4 meters draft. The Explorer charts showed 2 meters which was the same as our echo sounder showed. It has been this way at several places where we have been. Ourselves we use the Navionic charts almost everywhere but not in the Bahamas.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We met Dan who is professional fisherman at Long Island. Being a fisherman is a tough job. Dan has a compressor on his boat that he is connected to with air hose so he is able to stay at the bottom picking conchs and lobsters. A while ago he was hit by a Lionfish and he has earlier been treated in a dive chamber after a dive accident. The biggest buyer of lobster from the Bahamas is the US restaurant chain </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Red Lobster</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">At Buonavista Cay lived Edward. He was born on the island and owned the island. At the latest hurricane he was in the upper 70:s and lived alone on the island. On the island there was no drinking water so he had two row his boat to another island some miles away to collect water. To survive during the hurricane he tied himself to a tree. He was naked as he believed in less wind resistance that way. After the hurricane he has had some stroke issues and have not yet returned to the island.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In Duncan Town på Ragged Islands there are around 40 people living. At the last hurricane they evacuated the people living there but around 10 people chosed to stay to maintain their generators serving the freezers where they keep lobsters and conchs which is their capital. All the 12 children on the island are now at school in Nassau as the school building in Duncan Town was totally destroyed by the hurricane. Our friend Robin that we are sailing together with is a mathematic teacher from New Jersey. As late as two years ago she worked as a volunteer teacher at the school in Duncan Town.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In Duncan Town there are rather good roads but many of the houses in the village are destroyed by the hurricane. Although the enormous damages on the village and the small population there is a grocery store and a bar. At the bar we were served wonderful ice-cold beers and a wonderful meal of cracked conchs with French fries.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The Swedish insurance company where we have had Balance insured for many years did suddenly not want to have us insured while staying in the US. We got in contact with the British insurance company Y Yachts. Seems like both the pricing and the terms are better. However they require us to stay north of 36 degrees North during hurricane season. (June 1 - October 31) Instead of returning to Green Cove Springs in North Florida where we have stored Balance during three hurricane seasons we will now store Balance in Deltaville, Chesapeake, a little bit south of Washington. We will soon start our voyage north. We have around 1200-1400 nm to go.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi lämnade Georgetown tillsammans med vännerna Robin och Corbett på <i>Cookie Monster</i> och seglade till Lee Stocking Island. Låg ankrade där några härliga dagar. Tillsammans gjorde vi fina upptäcktsfärder till fots på öarna. Gjorde fantastiska snorkelturer på reven i omgivningarna. Dinge-driftade i vackra solnedgångar på kvällarna och upplevde också ”green-flash”! Här finns de vackraste levande korall vi någonsin sett. Robin och Corbett lärde oss hur man dyker efter conchs och hur man rensar och tillagar dem. När man seglar i Bahamas är det tillåtet att ha max sex st conchs ombord och max åtta st humrar.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Under dagarna i Lee Stocking havererade vår utombordsmotor. Något är fel i transmissionen. Behöver en verkstad för att fixa felet men det finns ingen sådan här. Bestämde oss för att köpa en ny motor i Georgetown och sedan försöka få den gamla reparerad och sedan sälja den. På Bahamas kan man fortfarande köpa 2-taktsmotorer vilket man inte kan vare sig inom EU eller i USA. Vår gamla motor är en Tohatsu 9,8 hk som vi haft i 12 år. En väldigt bra motor som har den stora fördelen att den endast väger 26 kg vilket är värdefullt för oss som behöver lyfta motorn på och av från dingen när dingen skall lyftas upp på däck inför segling. Vi har aldrig dingen på släp utan förvarar den alltid på däck när vi seglar.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Tyvärr säljer de inte Tohatsu i Georgetown men de säljer Yamaha. Det finns två modeller. 9,9 hk och 15 hk. Egentligen samma motor. Alla måttuppgifter och vikt är exakt samma. Vi valde 15 hk. Så nu har vi en motor som gör att dingen planar även med tre personer ombord vilket vi inte gjorde med gamla motorn. Dessutom på halvgas!</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nackdelen med nya motorn är att den väger 10 kg mer men det får vi leva med. Man säger att ”15 hk Yamaha är världens mest stulna utombordare” men det tyder väl också på att den är ganska bra!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När vi kom tillbaka till Georgetown sökte vi också skydd för ett väntat oväder. Ankrade i lä av Sand Dollar Beach. Bredvid oss fick vi två andra Hallberg-Rassy båtar. Båda var HR 46. Den ena är </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Cygnus</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> från USA som ensamseglas av Michael och den andra är </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Lusea</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> från Österrike som seglas av Klaus och Helene.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Ganska roligt att träffa andra Hallberg-Rassy ägare. De är alltid entusiastiska över att ha valt en av de bästa båtar man kan ha!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We left Georgetown together with our friends Robin and Corbett on <i>Cookie Monster</i> and sailed to Lee Stocking Island where we were anchored some wonderful days. Together we made som nice excursions and hikes on the islands. We made some fantastic snorkeling on the reefs. We dingy drifted at the beautiful sunsets and also saw the green-flash! Here are some of the most beautiful living coral reefs that we have ever seen. Robin and Corbett showed us how to dive for conchs and how to clean them and cook them. When sailing in the Bahamas you are allowed to have up to six conchs aboard and up to eight lobsters.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">During the days in Lee Stocking our outboard gave up. Something in the transmission is wrong. We need a workshop to have it repaired but there is no workshop available here. Decided to buy a new engine in Georgetown and later try to have the old one repaired and then sell it. In the Bahamas you can still buy two-stroke outboards which you cannot do neither within the EU or USA. Our old engine is a Tohatsu 9,8 hp which we have had for 12 years. A very good engine which has the great advantage of only weighing 26 kg (57 lbs). This is valuable for us who always take the motor off from the dingy when going sailing. We always store the dingy on deck when sailing.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Unfortunately they do not sell Tohatsu in Georgetown but they sell Yamaha. They have 9,9 hp and 15 hp. Seems to be the same engine, all the measures and weight is the same. We chosed the 15 hp. So now the dingy planes even with three people onboard. And this at half throttle!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The only disadvantage with the new engine is that the weight is 10 kg more but we will learn to live with that. They say that the ”15 hp Yamaha is the most stolen outboard in the world” but that probably says that it is also very good!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When returning to Georgetown we also needed protection for a predicted bad weather coming in with hard winds. We anchored at Sand Dollar Beach. At the anchorage we met two other Hallberg-Rassy boats. They were both HR 46. One was </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Cygnus</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> from USA with singlehanded Michael onboard. The other was </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Lusea</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> from Austria with Klaus and Helene onboard.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">It is always great meeting with other Hallberg-Rassy owners. They are always enthusiastic having chosen one of the best boats you can find!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vi befinner oss sedan en vecka i Georgetown, Exumas. Här ligger vi ankrade bland ca 300 båtar. De flesta amerikanska, en del kanadensiska och en båt från Sverige, nej, en till. Vi är två svenska båtar här! Det har gått lång tid sedan vi senast träffade en svensk båt! Förmodligen är vi de enda europeiska båtarna här. Den andra svenska båten är den unga, jättetrevliga familjen Helena och Fredrik med sonen Vincent på båten <i>Delfini</i>. De har köpt sin båt i Florida och seglat hit.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Varje morgon börjar med ett radionät på vhf-radion. På nätet får man väderrapport, information om aktiviteter, möjlighet att fråga andra cruisers om hjälp med tekniska problem ombord, om man har något man vill få tag på eller bli av med. De som lämnar och seglar härifrån rapporterar in och man förväntas anmäla sig på nätet när man anländer hit.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Den senaste veckan har Georgetown Cruising Regatta pågått. Här har förekommit ett par kappseglingar men fokus verkar vara på sociala aktiviteter över huvud taget. Här är aktiviteter som volleyboll, softball (en baseball-variant), golf, water-aerobics, maskerad-tävling, kyrka på stranden, poker …….</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Häromkvällen var det poker på St Francis Restaurang. Man spelade poker-spelet ”Texas Hold´em”. Vi var omkring 80 deltagare. 8-10 personer per bord. Lite nervösa var vi då det var första gången vi spelat poker. Efter omständigheterna tyckte vi att vi klarade oss ganska bra och var kvar i spelet till efter pausen.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Since a week we are in Georgetown, Exumas. We are anchored among around 300 boats. Most of them American boats, some Canadians and one boat from Sweden. No, one more! We are two Swedish boats here. It is a long time since we met with another Swedish boat! We are probably the only European boats here. The other Swedish boat is the young, very nice family Helena and Fredrik with their son Vincent on <i>s/v Delfini</i>. They bought their boat in Florida and has sailed here from Florida.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Every morning starts with a radio net on the vhf radio. On the net you get a weather report, information about social activities, possibility of asking the other cruisers for support on technical issues on the boat, if there is anything you need or anything you want to get rid off. Those who leave to sail somewhere else report to the net and you are expected to introduce yourself on arrival.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">During the last week there has been the Georgetown Cruising Regatta. There has been a couple of races but seems like focus is on social activities. Here are activities like volleyball, softball, golf, water aerobics, costumes dressing, church on the beach, poker……</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The other evening it was a poker game at St Francis Restaurang. You played the poker game ”Texas Hold´em”. We were about 80 participants. 8-10 per table. We were a little nervous as it was the first time we ever had played poker. After all we thought we made good and remained in the game until after the break.</span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Congratulations to our friends Christina and Jan Backe on Hallberg-Rassy 39 "Liv" (sister boat to Balance) who on February 23 rounded Cape Horn. Well done!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">På vår väg söderut i Exumas stannar vi några dagar i Blackpoint. När man går längs bygatan slås man av hur vänliga alla människor är här. Alla man möter hälsar, såväl barn som vuxna och ofta växlas några ord.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Diane och Simon driver en restaurang i byn. Via en amerikansk båt fick vi i USA en beställning på varor till restaurangen som vi nu levererar. Varor som de har svårt att få tag på här då varuutbudet är begränsat. I Blackpoint finns några butiker men endast med bassortiment.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">För seglare som kommer till Blackpoint finns två ”attraktioner”. Det ena är puben som har ”happy hour” tisdag, torsdag och fredag. ”Två för en”, svinstarka rom-punsch som ger valuta för pengarna! Den andra ”attraktionen” är Lorraines tvättinrättning. Lorraine är en driftig kvinna. Hon driver en tvättinrättning med självbetjäning. Tvätteriet finns i ett vackert beläget hus nära vattnet. Hon har dingebrygga utanför så man lätt kommer dit med dingen och tvätten. När man väntar på att tvätten skall bli klar kan man sitta på den trevliga verandan utanför med underbar utsikt. Tillgång till bra Wi-Fi. Lorraine har servering av kaffe, kakor, smårätter. Man kan också få håret klippt medan man väntar på tvätten eller passa på att duscha i hennes myntdusch. Eller handla i hennes lilla butik. Hon hyr också ut cyklar.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Hade räknat med att få tag på sim-kort till telefonen för att få internet när vi kom till Staniel Cay. Men vi kom fel dag. Vi träffade en man utanför kontoret som berättade att BTC-kontoret i Staniel Cay endast har öppet på onsdagar. Det är samma personal som på kontoret i Blackpoint och man alternerar mellan de två platserna så att kontoret i Blackpoint därmed har öppet måndag, tisdag, torsdag och fredag. På skylten vid kontoret står det tvärtom! Det beror på att man ändrat öppettiderna men man har inte ändrat skylten!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När vi nu kom till Blackpoint skulle vi då äntligen få tag på sim-kortet. Vi går till BTC:s kontor som är stängt. Frågar på polisstationen som ligger i grannhuset och polismannen där säger att BTC-killen nog är på lunch. Han upplyser mig om att han har en pick-up med stege på taket och det står ”BTC” på bilen. Efter en stund ser vi pickupen och frågar när han är på kontoret. Det visar sig då att han är BTC:s tekniker och han berättar att såväl kontoret i Staniel Cay som kontoret i Blackpoint är stängda!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Hoppas nu att vi får tag på sim-kort när vi kommer till Georgetown som är en lite större plats.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">En kväll vred vinden vid ankringsplatsen i Blackpoint. Vinden kom in från väster och viken är oskyddad åt det hållet. Det rullade och blev ganska obekvämt ombord och det var omöjligt att sova. Vi sover i akterhytten men flyttade nu till salongen i centrum av båten då sjöhävningen känns mindre där. Våghöjden var uppskattningsvis 0,5 - 1 meter.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nästa dag när vi kom in till Lorraines Wi-Fi läste vi Anders Erikssons dagliga rapport från Malala. Han är på väg mot Kap Horn och seglar med 4-5 meters våghöjd och bakar sockerkaka under tiden.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">On our way heading south we make a stop in Blackpoint for a couple of days. When you walk along the village street you think of how nice people are here, everybody seems friendly. Everybody, children as well as adults say hallo and often some more words.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">For cruisers arriving at Blackpoint there are two ”attractions”. One is the pub that has ”happy hour” Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. They have two for one, very strong rum-punches. Value for money! The other cruiser attraction is Lorraines laundry. Lorraine is a clever business-woman. She runs a laundry with self-service. The laundry is in a house close to the water beautifully located. She has a dingy-dock located just outside the building so it is easy to get there with the dingy and the laundry. When you are waiting for the laundry to get ready you can sit in the beautiful porch outside with a wonderful view and there is a good Wi-Fi. Lorraine serves coffee, cakes and some small dishes. You can have your hair cut while waiting or have a shower in her coin-shower. Or make some shopping in her little shop. She also rents bicycles.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We had thought that we should have been able to get sim-cards for the phone to be able to get internet access when we came to Staniel Cay. Unfortunately we arrived the wrong day. We met a man outside the BTC-office in Staniel Cay who told us that the office is only open on Wednesdays. It is the same staff alternating between the offices in Staniel Cay and Blackpoint and we were told that the office in Blackpoint is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. On the sign at the office it says the opposite. Depends on that the opening hours have been changed, however, not the sign!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Arriving at Blackpoint we would at last be able to get our sim-card. When we came to the office it was closed. We ask at the police station which is in the neighbor building and the police man says that the BTC guy is probably for lunch. He also tells me that he has a pick-up car with a ladder on and a BTC-sign on the side of the car. A little while later we see the car and ask the man when he will be in the office. He then tells us that he is the BTC technician and that the BTC-office in Blackpoint as well as in Staniel Cay are closed.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">One evening the wind turned westerly at the anchorage in Blackpoint. The anchorage is totally unprotected for westerlies. The boat rolled and it became very uncomfortable and impossible to get some sleep. We normally sleep in our aft cabin but now we changed to the salon in the boat center which seems to be less rolly. The wake height was probably 2-3 feet.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Next morning when we came to Lorraines Wi-Fi we read the daily report from Swedish sailor Anders Eriksson on Malala. He is now on his way towards Cape Horn and is sailing in wake heights of 12 - 20 feet baking a cake meanwhile.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Från Chubb Cay seglade vi mot Nassau nästa dag, ca 40 sjömil. Hade två rejäla napp på fiskelinan på vägen. Första fisken tog sig fri genom att bita av linan. Den andra fisken som var en Mahi-Mahi lyckades lossa från kroken strax före ombordtagningen. Den kom såpass nära att vi hade ögonkontakt. Mahi-Mahi är vår favoritfisk och det var synd att vi missade den men det kommer fler. Fast inte idag!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När man seglar in i Nassau måste man rapportera till Nassau Harbour Control via radion. De vill veta vilken hamn man kommer från, vilken hamn som är nästa hamn efter Nassau, båtens namn och registreringsnummer men man frågar inte efter vilket land båten är registrerad i.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vi valde att ankra strax öster om Nassau Harbour Club Marina. Man befinner sig då vid Nassaus östra utfart. Nästa morgon kunde vi komma iväg någorlunda tidigt med kurs mot Shroud Cay på Exumas. Lite drygt 40 sjömil. När vi nu kommit till Exumas är vi i Bahamas på riktigt! Det är här vi gillar att vara! Vattnet är kristallklart och skiftar i grönt, turkos och en massa varianter av blått! I Bahamas finns det klaraste och renaste vatten vi sett!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I Shroud Cay finns ett antal bojar man kan ligga vid men det går lika bra att ankra. Det är sandbotten som ger perfekt ankarfäste. Dessutom är ankaret rent när det tas upp. Här befinner vi oss inom Exuma Land and Sea Park och man får betala för att ligga vid boj men även för ankring. Men vi betalar gärna avgiften då den går till underhållet av nationalparken.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vi ankrade två nätter vid Shroud Cay. Passade på att ta en vilodag, badade och hade det skönt. Kerstin startade upp säsongens yoghurt-kultur och jag körde igång watermakern för första gången i år. När watermakern inte används under lång tid måste den konserveras och innan man producerar vatten till tankarna måste den sköljas ren en stund.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nu fungerar den som den skall och vi är därmed självförsörjande på gott dricksvatten och kan duscha och tvätta så mycket vi vill. Watermakern drar en del ström men huvudsakligen producerar vi ström via solpaneler och vindgenerator. Det är väldigt sällan vi behöver använda motorn för att ladda men om vi gör det får vi dessutom varmvatten.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Warderick Wells heter en plats i Exumas som är väldigt populär. Där får man inte ankra och det finns ca 20 bojar i en otroligt vacker vik. Kl 09 får man via radio anmäla sig till parkvakten om man vill ha en plats. Vi lyckades få kontakt från Shroud Cay och satte upp oss på waiting list och fick en bojplats till följande dag.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We sailed from Chubb Cay to Nassau next day, about 40 nm. We had two big fishes on the fishing line during the way. The first one took himself free by biting off the fishing line. The next one which was a Mahi-Mahi managed to get free from the fishing hook just before landing on Balance. We had it so close that we had eye-contact. The Mahi-Mahi is our favorite fish and it was a pity we missed it but there are more to come. But not today!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When sailing into Nassau you have to report to Nassau Harbour Control on the radio. They want to know which was your last port of call and your next port of call, the name of the boat and the registration Number but they do not ask in which country the boat is registered.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We chosed to anchor east of Nassau Harbour Club Marina. There you are at the eastern exit of Nassau.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Next morning we were able to depart rather early heading towards Shroud Cay at the Exumas. A little bit more than 40 nm. When we now have arrived to the Exumas we are in the Bahamas for real! This is where we enjoy being! The water is crystal clear and colors vary from green, turquoise, and a lot of different shades of blue. In the Bahamas there is the cleanest water we have ever seen.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In Shroud Cay there are a number of mooring bouys you can tie up to but you can just as well anchor. The bottom is sand and is perfect for anchoring. Here we are within Exuma Land and Sea Park and you have to pay for mooring bouy and for anchoring. We do not mind paying for the anchorage as the money goes to supporting the marine park.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">We anchored two nights at Shroud Cay. Took ”a day off”, did some swimming and had a wonderful day. Kicki started up the yoghurt culture for the season and I started up the water maker for the first time this year. When the water maker is not used during a long time it must be conserved and before producing water for the tanks it must be rinsed for some time.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Now it works as it should and we can use as much water as we want for drinking, shower and washing. The water maker consumes a lot of electric power but mainly we produce electric power by solar panels and wind generator. It is very rare that we need to run the engine for charging but if we do we also get warm water.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Warderick Wells is a very popular place in the Exumas. You are not allowed to anchor there but there are about twenty moorings in an incredibly beautiful bay. At 9 AM you can contact the park office to ask for a mooring. We got contact from Shroud Cay and were on the waiting list for a mooring. Next morning we received a mooring.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Lämnade våra vänner Mindy o Jeff på katamaranen <i>Mad Romance </i>i Boca Raton söndagen den 3 februari. Nu har vädret stabiliserat sig och värmen har kommit tillbaka. Nu är det som det ska vara, helt enkelt! Var tillsammans med Mindy och Jeff ett par dagar och var bl.a. tillsammans i Ft Lauderdale där vi uträttade några ärenden hos West Marine, Sailorman och East Coast Batteries. Några trevliga kvällar och goda middagar hade vi tillsammans.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Fortsatte ICW söderut till Fort Lauderdale där vi toppade upp våra dieseltankar. Sedan broöppning vid 17th Street Bridge och därefter ut i Golf-strömmen med kurs mot Bahamas.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Väderfönstren för att segla till Bahamas har under en ganska lång tid varit få. Förhärskande vindriktningen har varit nordlig, därav också det kalla vädret som rått under lång tid.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Nordlig vind är väldigt olämpligt eftersom den går mot Golfströmmen. Vind mot ström leder till förskräcklig sjö. Ostlig vind vill vi inte heller ha eftersom det är motvind. Sydlig och västlig vind är bra men man kan få vänta på de rätta förhållandena. Nu uppstår ett högtrycksläge med vackert väder, solsken och varmt. Men ingen vind! Vi valde att gå för motor!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Vi hade 55 sjömil över Golf-strömmen till ”Hen & Chicken” som är en av infartspunkterna till Bahama bankarna. Över bankarna har vi drygt 60 sjömil tills vi når Atlanten på andra sidan. Vi passerar bankarna under natten. Vattendjupet på bankarna är 3,5 - 8 meter och man kan ankra om man vill. En del gör det. Vi möter några mindre lastfartyg som förser Bahama-öarna med förnödenheter från USA.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">En märklig känsla när man lämnar bankarna med vattendjup på några få meter och djupet på en mycket kort stund ändrar sig till ett par tusen meter.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Endast 15 sjömil från där man kommer ut i Atlanten (kallas Tongue of the Ocean) finns en marina som heter Chubb Cay Marina. Det ser ut som att man kan klarera in där. Vi anropar marinan på radion och frågar. Det går bra att klarera in där men Harbour mastern påpekar att de debiterar en avgift om man endast använder marinan för inklarering. För en något högre kostnad kan man stanna en natt. Vi bestämde oss för att stanna en natt då vi var lite trötta efter 23 timmar till sjöss.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">När vi kom in i marinan kändes det först som att komma in i marina Gaviota på Cuba. En stor fin marina med endast ett fåtal båtar. Båtarna som låg där var i huvudsak amerikanska sportfiskebåtar. Första tanken var att de har så högt pris att ingen vill stanna där. Pratade med besättningen på en av de amerikanska båtarna som dock sa att om ca två veckor är marinan fullbelagd då sportfiskesäsongen satt igång.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Marinan är otroligt fin. När man förtöjer tar två män emot tamparna och dekorerar förtöjningsändarna med en ”fläta”. Anläggningen är också en resort och har trevlig restaurang, bar och vacker pool. I receptionen får vi blanketterna som skall fyllas i och när det är klart blir vi körda till den lilla flygplatsen där Customs & Immigrations finns. Vi fick våra pass stämplade och cruising- och fishing permit för den tid vi har tänkt stanna.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Om vi eventuellt kommer hit någon mer gång väljer vi nog att ankra utanför marinan och ta oss till fots till flygplatsen. Marinan var väldigt trevlig och med vänlig personal men det är den dyraste marinan vi någonsin stannat vid.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We left our friends Mindy and Jeff at the catamaran <i>Mad Romance </i>in Boca Raton on Sunday February 3rd. Now the weather has stabilized and it has become warmer. Right now it is the way we want it to be! We were together with Mindy and Jeff for a couple of days and among other things we were in Ft Lauderdale where we visited West Marine, Sailorman and East Coast Batteries. We had a couple of really nice evenings and dinners together.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Continued our way south along the ICW to Fort Lauderdale where we filled up our diesel tanks. Thereafter bridge opening at 17th Street Bridge and then out into the Gulf stream headed towards the Bahamas.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Weather windows to sail to the Bahamas have during a rather long time been rare. Most of the winds have been northerly, thereof also the cold weather that has been dominating during long time.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Northerlies are not good for crossing to the Bahamas as they go towards the Gulf Stream. Wind against current leads to terrible sea conditions. Neither do we like Easterlies as they are on the nose.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Southerlies and westerlies are good but you could have to wait some time for perfect conditions. Now creates a high pressure system with beautiful weather, sunshine and warm weather. But no wind at all! We motored!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">It is around 55 nautical miles across the Gulf Stream to ”Hen & Chicken” which is one of the points where you can enter the Bahama banks. Across the banks we had around 60 nautical miles until we reach the Atlantic on the other side. We pass the banks during the night. The draft is around 10 - 25 feet and you can anchor if you like. Some boaters do. On the way we met some smaller freighters that go with stuff for the Bahamian Islands from USA.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">It is a special feeling when you leave the banks with rather shallow water and get out into the Ocean when the draft changes to 10.000 feet in a couple of minutes.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Only 15 nm from where you go out into the Atlantic (called the Tongue of the Ocean) there is a marina called Chubb Cay Marina. Looks like it is possible to clear in there. We call the marina on the radio to check. It is OK to clear in at the marina but the Harbour Master tells us that they charge you if you only use the marina for clearing in. If you pay some more you are able to stay in a slip at the marina. As being rather tired after 23 hours at sea we decided to stay overnight.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When we entered the marina we first thought of when we entered marina Gaviota on Cuba. A huge, very nice marina but with very few boats. The boats being there were most of them American Sport Fishing boats. At first we thought the price to stay in the marina was so high that few boaters want to use it. Talking to the crew on one of the American boats we heard, however, that within two weeks the marina will be full. This when the Sport fishing season has started.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The marina is incredibly fine and beautiful. When you come in to the dock there are two men assisting you with your lines. The marina is also a resort and has nice restaurant, bar and a beautiful pool. At the reception desk we receive the documents to be filled in and when we are ready there is a chauffeur taking us to the small airport nearby where Customs & Immigrations are. Our passports were stamped and we received cruising- and fishing permit for the time we plan to stay.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In case we would come here again in the future we will probably choose to anchor outside the marina and walk to the airport for clearence. The marina is very nice and beautiful and the staff is very friendly and nice but it is the most expensive marina we have ever stayed at.</span></div>
