Small step for men, huge step for us

We made it - we are in the Bahamas.
We left Marathon on Sunday the 14th at about 10:30 in the morning and after 24 hours we have landed in Bimini. We are now in The Big Game Marina in North Bimini (Alice Town) and we stay about a week here.
We plan to go to the Berry Islands from here.
but first lets talk about the ride here.
And before we will talk about it, I have to tell you - Hani is an amazing cook. Just look at some of those photos.
The days before we left Marathon, we fixed the generator (again - but think that this time it is going to work great. However, we bout a second generator too, just to be on the safe side. We also visited the largest Turtle Hospital in the world - what a place!!
And now - sailing....
we sailed about 20 of the 24 hours, and it was a great one. Again, the wave did not help, as they came in a direction the rolled us and crashed into us.

Our route took us from Marathon, through Hawk Channel until just south of Key Largo, from there we turned right and sailed to the Florida Straits try to get a ride on the Gulf Stream.
that was the most uncomfortable segment of the whole day and night.
I had to tack a few times to easy the waves motion. But by 2300 we got to the Gulf Stream.
We where doing about 7 kts with a reef in the main and the head sail open, the wind was on the boat starboard side between 40 - to 110 degrees of  our bow. Toward morning the wind eased and so did the waves. We drop the sails at about 1000, just less than half a mile from shore and decided we need a marina to rest (spelling - Air Condition)
And I forgot to mention, on our way here, a dove decided to join us. Hani gave her water from Cocoa's dish - and Cocoa did not like it at all. The dove left us when we got to the dock here.
