[status] Day 31 underway to Bahamas. Sailing conditions have been excellent the past couple of days. We are continuing to make good progress, and Slip Away is starting to smell the barn. At this point, barring anything unforeseen, we expect to reach the Bahamas without stopping in the Caribbean. We had picked out several potential stops in the Caribbean if needed for fuel, weather, boat issues or crew fatigue, but we've already sailed past most of those stops by now. We've been looking at our Bahamas Cruising Guides and have picked out the anchorage where we intend to make landfall - Abrahams Bay on the island of Mayaguana, which is one of the southernmost islands in the Bahamian archipelago. When we initially planned our route, we had plotted our final waypoint further north near San Salvador Island, but we've now adjusted our route to end at Mayaguana and have 115 less miles to go. 547 miles to go to Mayaguana. We expect to be in by the weekend, and are very excited about that!
