Hitting Bottom
Well I just had the crap scared out of me about 15 minutes ago. We
were coming onto the anchorage on the south side of the Jenson Beach
causeway at twilight and as we went between two anchored boats I hit a
submerged object that made the boat (all 23,000 pounds) raise up
almost a foot. I was only traveling about 3 knots and it was if I hit
a big speed bump under water.

We're safely anchored now and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for anything
of concern (like extra bilge pump cycles). It was quite the jolt.

Beach on thursday and hang there on Friday. The current plan is to
cross the gulfstream to West End Bahamas on Saturday. All plans
subject to change due to weather.
