Our marina didn’t have a pumpout station, so Owen found a service that would come to us for a $55 fee to pump out our boat. We learned that the county requires boats at anchor to pump out every 10 days, and the county provides this service at no charge for boats at anchor. However, the fee is charged for boats in marinas. We were very happy with the service and happy to leave the marina with an empty tank.

Owen had a big meeting at work today, and when that video call was finished it was time for a quick yeet on over to the Angelfish anchorage to prepare for the crossing to the Bahamas. Someday, we are going to look back on this post and be reminded that our kids used to say “Yeet” ALL the time, and they stopped because no one said “yeet” anymore, but that is the exact time the word sunk in for their aging parents and they used and misused it so much that it quickly went from mildly amusing to downright annoying. And we will smile and laugh because the kids will know it was nice that their parents tried to use the right vernacular because they love their kids even though they didn’t get it right every time but they tried.

Over the past few days, we had met another couple who was going over to the Bahamas. We were waiting for a good weather window, and this couple had arranged to travel with a few other boats to Bimini. That couple ended up going a day before we did, but the rest of us were preparing to go on Saturday morning. In order to do that, we had to yeet on over to the anchorage about a 90-minute ride away.

It was a quick ride, and we were soon settled into a perfect spot to wait for the next morning. After all the preparations we made, we could not wait to get to the anchorage because tomorrow (TOMORROW!) is the day we take our little boat all the way to the Bahamas!
