Our thought has always been to work our way along the TP (not toilet paper -
Thorny Path) during the fall and winter to avoid the headwinds, taking
advantage of the frequent northers. Wayne, your comments seem to confirm
our thoughts. Since you're posting, I presume you have internet. I know
you've got a system similar in capability to ours; what's been your
experience with open sites along the way down?

Our WiFi system is working just fine but frankly we've been a bit
disapointed in the number and quality of open sites. It seems that
more and more people are encrypting their access points these days,
and some harbors like Nassau are inundated with high powered
commercial sites trying to draw in business, and swamping everything
else in the process. Right now we are at a marina in Marigot Bay, St
Martin which charges 7 Euros/day but it is the only thing available.

We had a great stay in Turks and Caicos, nice weather and nice people.
Their is a good place to stay known as the "annex". Call Simon at
South Side Marina on channel 16 for details. He runs a cruiser net
every morning at 8:30 and is very helpful. You can clear customs and
immigration at South Side Marina with no hassel at all.
