It always gives me a smile to see Ed actually resting, relaxing and enjoying the day. He works hard and gets pretty worn out most days, plus he worries about the upcoming months. I do, too. Neither of us looks forward to the days with little or no wind, mosquitoes and unpredictable threats of storms. We have come across many people who have marina slips reserved in Grenada or Trinidad for hurricane season, but we can’t seem to commit to that option. We have good sailing friends who went down to the ABC’s during summer months (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, off the Venezuelan coast) and that might be our choice as well. And then there’s the issue of Luna, who would probably be happier living in an air conditioned house in the US then on a boat in the Caribbean (go figure!) but who ultimately wants to be with us whether it’s here, there or anywhere. She has been granted import permits to all the rabies-free countries we’ve applied to thus far, but we are concerned about St. Vincent and Trinidad who seem to be tougher about the requirements. We are hopeful we’ll do fine in that regard and if not, Luna will have to stay on the boat if and when we stop at those countries.
