Becca
Can't believe this! We finally have our brain wrapped around the idea we're making a 400 mile leap...not in the Mona Passage, thank you very much. We really have the perfect weather to sail...no big seas...nothing coming til Wednesday late and Thursday!

We can provision! We can fill up with water...but the solenoid crapped out on us! Just can't believe this! We should be leaving tomorrow!

Now we are taking our chances that someone here in Culebra, NOT...Puerto Rico...will have one! The only other obstacle on this new adventure is Memorial Day Monday!

For sure we are food addicts...we both said it at the same time "Can't cook...got go into town for dinner"...

We had great food on day one at "The Dingy Dock" just because of timing and a tummy growl! Today we choose Mamacitas because of the atmosphere. It was about the 'garden setting on the canal'...which turned into party central with the kids! Everybody was respectful, having fun and we were right in the middle of it all!



The ferry leaves at 6:30...wish us luck!

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!
