Well, hope you haven't been following my blogs too closely - I guess not in a while huh?

OK, let me condense this for now.
Bad Kitty is on the hard in Aruba and I'm in Holland visiting with a new potential First Mate - Margret who lives here in Holland. We met in Aruba during Xmas when she was there for 3 weeks or so. We hit it off quite well and started talking about talking about a life of adventure together. I'm going on 3 years on Bad Kitty now so for me its not such a leap but for Margret - well being a bit younger and still working, it is going to be a stretch for her. But how can she turn down such an opportunity to sail with Capt Steve on the Bad Kitty.
Well anyway, I'm here in Holland another 2 1/2 weeks before I head back to
Aruba for a few days and then on to Houston, TX for 3 weeks. Then back to Aruba where Margret and 3 other crew will meet me and ready to cross to Santa Marta, Columbia, hopefully the first week of May. This will be my 2nd longest passage since crossing from St Vincent to Bonaire, about 450nm. This will be about 350 nm so with a crew of 4 besides myself, it should be a piece of cake.

The road since my last post in Boquerón has been an adventure but without incident. Met lots of nice folks along the way and look forward to more of the same. Lots of things to see and do yet and still no schedule to adhere to. Guess I'll keep doing this as long and its fun and my health holds.
