06 July 2010 | Hog Island Anchorage...
Becca
You would never know that we provisioned for six months (it seems) before we left to go north on May 25th...that's only 40 days ago. We've also done or had laundry done for us 3 or 4 times too! We've stopped at every outdoor veggie vendor, spent waaaay too much money at Doris' Gourmet Market drooling with longing for most everything expensive, fattening and ooooooh so bad for you!

And here were are rushing our 'dink duty' to get our 'dirty' laundry to CCBM (the one luxury we afford ourselves on this adventure). Salty clothes are the new 'dirty' in our eyes. Everything feels dirty all the time...and bed clothes...always feel great after a day around salt...so we like 'fresh' sheets often. It's a ROYAL pain in the the tush removing or reinstalling my custom sheets, but it's one of those teeny luxuries we adore!

It feels like we never left! We said goodbye for real waaay back in May...we were heading north, towards home, towards Miami and would never see our Grenadian Friends again! We had to dash over to Whisper Cove, say hello and give and get hugs there too!

Miss Kitty, SV Falcon says something like this "Don't be sad to leave your new friends...just be thankful you met them in the first place!"

And here we are, back already...How could we have ever known we'd be looking at the Hog Island anchorage again.

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
