Alaunt's Vacation

Carol — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:08:00 -0500

We're giving Alaunt a vacation from us for 2 1/2 months. She's tied to the dock at Bocas Marina and looking forward to a rest. We'll be visiting family and friends in Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington plus attending Ron's son Paul and Jennifer's wedding on October 9 in Phoenix. Somehow Ron's sailblog "San Blas/Kuna Yala - The Sailing" was posted at the beginning of our sailblogs in 1969(?). I have edited the date and it is now under July 14, 2009. Ron spent a lot of time on this blog, so please take a few minutes to read it. The picture is a traditional Kuna dugout under sail. We're putting our sailblogs on vacation hold and will continue our adventures in mid-November. Thank you for your comments and interest in following our sailing trip. (View Post...)
