Judy and Bill have had a dream for 20 years: To take our kids on an extended sailing voyage. We have had the dream longer than we've had the kids. The dream became a goal, then a plan, and now we are making it a reality. We are sailing the Caribbean. We started in Chicago, cruised down the [...]

rivers to Mobile, then entered the Gulf of Mexico. We have been to the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. We will continue to cruise south to Venezuela so we can spend the hurricane season south of the danger zone. We left Chicago in mid-September, 2007. We plan to be gone for 2 years.
