It's lot of hard work to get a boat to The Bahamas

At 7:00 we left Rochester with the wind from the south at about 7 knots as promised. We used a lot of diesel getting to Rochester in 10 hours so today we are travelling at 6.5 knots rather then 7.7. I think we have almost cut our fuel usage in half.

The big news today is we are not stopping at Oswego but going directly into the canal. Even with cutting the speed and going 49 knotical miles we will arrive at 3:00.
