West End, Bahamas to Ft. Pierce, FL City Marina 99.5 mi 11 hours Tues. May 30

Day dawning at 5 :30 AM. Up early for a big day.

Our app helps us see direction and intensity of winds, waves, current… It was a good day to make the big Gulf Stream crossing.

Two freighters in the distance.

Carnival Cruise Ship on its way to Nassau.

Massive Maersk container ship, 1200 feet long going to Miami.

Really helpful to see markers to direct us.

Massive current coming into the inlet. Ft. Pierce is a big, deep and wide inlet for commercial vessels…but it is still a lot of current.

A state park along the channel .

Washed Blue Yonder after the big day.

Happy to be “home” after a nice vacation.

  1. Big day of sailing! Good job! Delicious drinks to celebrate!

    Is overnight stay allowed at the state park?

    1. Nice to be back. I think park is for day use only. Working our way back north to Hilton Head for the summer now. It has been a wonderful Bahamian adventure. Finished the blog until next time. Thank you for following along.

  2. It was a great trip. Followed y’all along the way.
    See you soon. Take care.
    We have many memories and blessings!

    1. Thanks, Becky. It’s been a wonderful adventure for us since John’s retirement. We are very fortunate to have found Blue Yonder and the lifestyle of self cruising. 💙 God provides.
