During the second quarter of 2013 Rode Trip finally moved on from the Bahamas. We missed the great fishing, but really enjoyed being in so many new places. Our big U-turn at Grand Cayman had us spend a lot of money provisioning and preparing the boat for a transatlantic crossing. Approximately half the money spent this quarter was spent during our 2-week stay in Cayman.
