Default Back on the boat

We are once again underway for a little boating adventure, and

hopefully by this time next month we will be deep into the Caribbean,

most probably the BVI or Leeward Islands. From there we'll work our

way south to Martinique and St Lucia in the Windward Islands before

turning around and heading back north. Some of you will remember

that we did mostly the same trip 3 years ago. It was arguably one of

the best boating cruises of my lifetime and hopefully this one will be

even better.



Anyone who wants to keep track of our progress or lack thereof can

keep track of us he

Right now we're headed to Key West for a few days of watching my

oldest son racing sailboats in the annual Key West regatta, and after

that we'll head over to the Bahamas and start working our way farther

south as weather permits.



We'll have some internet access along the way but not everywhere, so

play nice in the meanwhile and try to think more about boating and

less about politics, gun control, abortion, etc.



Reminds me of when my buddy got the job of mate on the supply boat for the Windjammer fleet. I believe it started in Ft, lauderdale and worked it's way down the islands to the ABC islands off the coast of South America.
Each trip took about a month round trip.
I should have jumped right on that and made the trip... if only he could keep a job more than a few months.....
