Yesterday we sailed from St. Thomas to Culebra and met up with our old dear friends, Heather and Don on the sailboat Asseance. We go way back with Heather and Don. I first met them in 2016 in Annapolis when I was working for the Annapolis Landing Marina. I was immediately impressed with their boat handling skills and we were both planning to do the Caribbean 1500, a sailing rally from VA to the BVI. That was the start of our friendship.

We spent much time with Heather and Don in 2006-2007. We had so many firsts as we explored the Eastern Caribbean for the first time. We would meet up at an island do things and explore together and part ways for a short period of time and meet up again for more hikes and adventures.

It seems so fitting to meet up with Heather and Don at a lovely anchorage, catch up on each other’s lives and future plans, share food and expertise.
This was the view out of our window for much of our first year in the Caribbean.
