We are so happy to be sailing east! Actually it's northeast and that's good because the wind is from the east and we so wanted to sail! Gorgeous day and we had another short hop to St. John's of only 3 miles! We're really cruising now.
We are just getting back in the grove, feeling ourselves at anchor (oops, I mean a mooring because we were in the national park). We weren't staying long, just wanted to check out of the US Virgin Islnads here! We did and we're set to enter the BVI's which we heard were sticklers about the customs and immigration procedures.
The number of boats here were incredible! Sails everywhere! It feels soooooo good to have the wind rushing thru the boat and to be sailing at last.
When we got up in the morning and played with dolphins! What a surprise! We only had to go north about 6 miles to get to Jost Van Dyke, in the BVIs! So we didn't have to rush. Seems like the big crossings are behind us, but this is ridiculous.

| Vessel Name: | Altair |
| Vessel Make/Model: | Tartan 34' |
| Hailing Port: | Coconut Grove Sailing Club |
| Crew: | Dudley Clark and Becky Butler |
| About: | Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish! |
| Extra: | This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet! |
