Default 20 days in the Caribbean!

The deal has been made.

Soon I'll be off to the Caribbean for thee weeks!

I'm teaching a Bareboat class, racing in a major regatta, and
then cruising for 10 days.

I'm thinking I may try out one of those IC-24's for a few days
too. Has anyone tried one yet?

No kidding katy. It has gotten cold here. We had a mild winter
so far. Now the temps are below freezing and likely to stay
that way for a while. What is it like down south?

Cool deal Bart. If you get near Tortola stop in and say hi to our
good friend Capt. Louise. She's running a sailing school there but I
don't recall the name of it right now.

She's the cutie in the middle.

Your timing is perfect, weather wise.

Yes. Significant ergonomic improvement over the old J-24. Otherwise
it's the same boat, a bit less powered up by a crew willing to suffer
to get weight outboard of the rail; the builders claim they are
lighter & stiffer than the old arched-deck design but I noticed the
deck & cockpit had approximately the same amount of flex and they seem
to sail exactly the same.

I hate when they can't get snow off my foad. But then, in general, I
don't hang my foad out in the snow anyway.

As for driving to the store in a snowmobile, been there done that.
Only I didn't have one of those fancy snowmobiles with the Rotax
engine, ski steering & tracked drive... I used a tractor instead.
