Work-from-boat for a family adventure on our Edel 35, Mirror Image, to celebrate graduations! Starting from Beaufort, SC in March, venturing to the Exumas in the Bahamas, and fleeing back up the coast in time to party with the tall ships in the Bay (hopefully). 

notable events and pictures to come and day totals to be updated as we go:

- April 19: crossed into the Bahamas! 60ish mile day from Key Biscane to Bimini. Caught a wahoo that escaped, a barricuda, and a sailfish

- May 28 - 30: return to the US! 60 hours from Nassau to Caoe Canaveral, with a pit stop in the West End for fuel. Caught one barricuda and one nibble from a nebulously large fish. Hooked a tuna who also escaped. Saw a pod of sperm whales, dolphins riding our bow, many cruise ships and thunder storms, and a manatee when transiting the Canaveral lock
