Cinco de Mayo!
05 May 2010 | Grenada is *Pulling *Us Back!
Becca
Cinco de Mayo started with the Mexican victory over the French that battle long ago in l862. The US and many other Spaniards celebrate it one way or the other and I'm just practicing my SPANISH!
Actually, we can't believe the plan for a 2 week return to our home in Miami would turn into 5 weeks! We are truly being pulled in two directions, with our need for family and friends from home on one end and the lure of the islands and the 10 month bond with our native and cruising friends in Grenada at the steamy end of the Carribean islands.
We might've been able to secure the slip at Clarkes Court Bay Marina and remain in the states for the predictable active stormy season. However, preparing the boat for hurricane season and removing all precious contents is not something we would ask anyone to do in our absence.
So here we are...Back in Grenada with our only plan, to quote my Captain with the mostest, Dudley, "....is to have no plan"!
Stay tuned...

| 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! |
