Bonnie, now officially a tropical storm is in bound. NOAA’s remaining uncertainty in the storm track and our growing certainty in North Carolina as a port of call has us hustling to move northward. Gazing across our deck to Biscayne Bay and beyond to the Miami Skyline draws up a sense of melancholy. Like Saint Louis standing along the Mississippi River is the gateway to the American West, Miami with is shores hemming in the Gulf Stream feels like the gateway to the tropics. By pushing forward we are moving away from the romanticized, idyllic dream of sailing in the tropics; placing on hold for another year a return to the Bahamas or beyond. It is with a longing for the Abacos, Exumas, Berries, and beyond the we raise the main and plot our course for the day.
