Jan and Corning were friends in college and somehow through the years lost touch. Then about four years ago, Jan found Corning through a mutual friend and they have been trying to reconnect and introduce the spouses. After a failed attempt last year and a near miss this year, we finally hit. What fun we all had.

Jan and Tom for the past 18 years have flown from Seattle to spend some time in the Bahamas at their friend’s “Super Fabulous” house on the shore of Great Exuma and luckily we were able to see this incredible compound and enjoy being spoiled by two of the most generous people. Not only did Jan and Tom chauffeur us around, they brought us goodies from afar but they cooked several meals for us and gave us the best time we have ever spent in the Bahamas. In return, what could we do? Not much but sailing from Emerald Bay to George Town was indeed something we could offer and it turned out to be a lot of fun and a great sail.

We tossed the lines over in hopes of a mahi, but to no avail. Not a problem, Tom put the smoked ribs on their barbi and feast we did!
