When you get back you will have to enlighten me the distance to put into perspective. 50 - 100 miles? I know any time we left San Francisco on my uncles sail boat out to the Farallon Islands 25 or so miles seemed far. Really had to pay attention to the weather. I'm guessing you guys probably don't have that out your way.
Pretty neat that you can do that though for a weekend. Dumb question - is that pretty common provided you have a good boat?

Bahamas
Freeport is about 60 miles from the west palm beach area for perspective. People take their boat to Freeport, Bimini, abacao all the time. Just a way of life in Florida.
There is even a Bahamas crossing forecast everyday on the local news. |

That is pretty neat. The things you don't see or have the option when living on the wrong coast. Do you have to let anyone know, harbour master, etc - so they don't assume you are running drugs? I know we would - or had to - when leaving the bay that far out due to weather. That way if you didn't return they would know something may have went down.

Ok - that makes sense for several reasons I can think of. Still, it is pretty cool that you can do that. Reasonably priced. You have it pretty good there. Good diving both local and a short boat ride.
