Today we are in Gorda Sound on a mooring at the Bitter End Yacht Club. They provided free moorings to the rally participants until Christmas. The Bitter End is a popular resort for shore bound guests who want to experience the Caribbean. It is quite pretty along the beach and would serve to satisfy any landlubbers need for warm weather and a beautiful view.
The dogs got a chance to go to shore today and they made the most of it. Swimming, chasing the ball, digging holes and rubbing their faces on dead stuff; what a dogs life.
We are slowly settling in. In a rush to leave Norfolk things didn't get put away and the storm help unload some cabinets and shelves. Most of the boat repairs have been made except for the port engine transmission. We have an appointment in St Thomas on December 8th to have a mechanic look at it. Everything points to a bad cone clutch in the saildrive.
We had dinner with Dave and Donna onboard Pas de Deux last night. More fresh caught Mahi. Tonight it's lasagna with them on our boat.
I'll check in with Thanksgiving wishes in a few days

In July of 2012 it was time to paint the hull for the first tome since we bought the boat. I sailed up to Dennis Point Marina in St Mary's MD and had the boat hauled there. It was an exptremely tight fit in the 75 ton Acme lift.

We aimed for the BVI and ended up in Key West, but it wasn't all bad.
