Forging Ahead

Luckily Tomas is heading more to the east so we won't have to deal with huge swells on our freight boat trip on Monday. The cold front has passed here in Daytona also, and now the predicted wave heights are 'down' to 7-9ft. Dave called the shipping company and they said that the seas won't affect the 180ft. M/V Legend. Famous last words? Hopefully not last words, but only time will tell.


The Legend is a flat bottom landing craft type freighter that has a bow door that allows the freight and containers to be be driven on and off for loading ease. It is commomly called a 'Ro-Ro', short for Roll-on, Roll-off. Besides the pictures above, I am having a hard time rounding up any other good photos of the Legend, so I will have to take my own in a few days.

This will be my last post until we get back to New Horizon and find a good wifi signal. I'll have lots of details to report once we get through Bahamian Customs and get our boat launched and floating again.

Bahamas here we come!
