Helen,
If you have not already, check out the archives for Bill's last Bahamas Adventure in his R22.
He went with his son and a friend and had a blast. He chronicled his journey in detail and is a great storyteller.
Now, I just need to find someone crazy enough to crew with me. My admiral is not comfortable in open water :(
Cheers,
Ted
