Just an update. We enjoyed Alan and Carla Olden's visit in July. The tour of the Bacardi Factory in Old San Juan is really great, although we prefer the Dominican Republics Ron Barcelo by far hahaha.
Well as further construction started at the marina on all their great projects, the summer heat hit, and a new spot opened up for Firefly on the hard, we decided to wrap it up. It took us several days to get her ready including recaulking all the port holes, especially in the heat.
We stayed at the Ceiba Bed and Breakfast for 3 nights as we finished up and it was so beautiful up there on the hillside.
Headed for FL on July 28th with little Patch Cat. (Jet Blue is the way to go, Spirit charges even for your carry on!).
Sorry to say but Florida sucks just as much as we remembered, to us anyways. Storms, hot and still, FIREANTS.....have enjoyed catching up on our shopping for the trip to New Zealand and hanging with the Oldens.
They are adopting Patch and he is getting along with their little Dachshund pretty well, kinda remind us of Garfield and Odie.
Plan to fly out commercially to Travis AFB (near Sacramento) and then take Space A the rest of the way to Christchurch, NZ.
Be back to Puerto Rico in April with lots to do. Paint the bottom, new batteries, etc Then off to Antigua where we plan to leave the boat for next Oct. Hope to have our French girl friends back to crew with us, so much more fun with some crew!
It will be short season,back to New Zealand and then in 2016 we will be wanting crew to bring her back to Florida with a stop back at Ocean World to see our friends there.
Ok, that's the plan LOL
