What does it take to travel to the Bahamas by boat?

We met an interesting couple the other day, Lou and Deb. They also have the dream of coming down here and going further to Georgetown. We used to think that Freedom was a bit cramped for this sort of jurney until we met them. The boat is just about totally independent of shore requirements and has 6 months of food on it!
All of this in something like 28 feet. Amazing, and it reflects nicely on some words (on the test floor) I heard in reference to our intentions to make this trip; "that's the biggest pile of sh*& he's come up with yet".


Suffice it to say, we are not roughing it, and my hat is off to this couple that are also enroute! Note that if you click the photo, you will see there are two outboards one for the dink and one for the sailboat. No impressive horsepower required here.
