Helped the Fredericks with delivering their Globe 41 ketch into the Bahamas. This was their first time sailing offshore with their ketch. They had hopped down the coast and joined the first January Jump with the Salty Dawgs. We spent 3 night at dock waiting for a good window and working on the boat. Then sailed to Ft lauderdale before crossing on an overnight. Spent the day at anchor in the Berries, then continued to Nassau for a night and into HighBourne Cay in the Exumas. Laura and I crossed the coral gardens on the yellow bank around noon on a hight tide. Stopped at the national park and swam the coral garden. Joined the Naval Academy courses via zoom from the islands a couple of times. Made it to the Georgetown and spent a couple of days there playing witth the cruiser community before flying back.
