Every weather site we use...all of them: Chris Parker, Wunderground, Passage Weather and Windfinder agree...it's time to go! It's going to be calm...very still actually! The seas are down and we are leaving in the am.
We came back out here to Dakity, just inside the reef to clean the water line....OMG...what a garden! The bay near town was very nutritious!!! We also need a bottom job! I took care of that and my amazing captain dove the prop and the rudder! We're ready!
This is a biggie for us! We have historically taken baby steps for three years now and we are about to change that!
We will shoot for the Turks and Caicos! It should be a very fun passage with the little wind we have finally behind us or off our quarter instead of on the nose!
More later!

| 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! |
