In Georgetown going to Turks and Cacos

We are currently in Georgetown. That is in the southern part of the Exumas, Bahamas. We have three more big islands to go through before we get to Turks and Caicos. But they don't have many people on them. They say a lot of people end up staying in Georgetown after they try to sail down to Turks and Caicos. It apparently gets rough in between the islands we have left and some people turn back.
We found another couple that is also going that way so they are going to sail with us for a while. That should be a great way to go from a safety point of view and also just to have some company. It's 210 miles to Turks and Caicos and I think it will take us 7 to 8 days.
I have done the 300 hour boat maintenance. That's change the oil. Check the Zinc Andotes, check the transmission oil. Check the coolant and the belts.
We gassed up and have filled our water tanks and got grocery. So I think we are set to make the run down there.
We are going to leave Wednesday and I'm not sure when we will have internet again. But I should be posting by the middle of next week.
