We’re in the Bahamas Now!

After detecting an earlier than expected weather window, we left Lake Worth bound for Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island. The trip to Lucaya would take about 15 -16 hours.

St. Augustine to Lake Worth, Florida 4/18 -4/20/2023

We spent 11 days in St. Augustine, and apart from a challenging mooring field with strong currents and contrary winds, our time there was enjoyable.

We did several big boat projects and encounter a couple of unexpected delays that had nothing to do with Ocean Song’s readiness to sail. More importantly, we are not trying to stick to any kind of schedule so any delay should really be […]
