Dudley agreed to get in the water for two days, instead of the plan we had agreed to when we decided to bash ahead for Miami in 5 months! I know I need to be rational and not emotional, like a woman, go figure...but I don't ever want to leave this place! Sharks or not! We have Union and Mayreau for our needs and these are a few of the boat boys and their boats they paint with their moniker...very creative stuff. They bring us everything we need, for a price.

We took off at 9:14 (after agreeing to leave between 8:30a and 9, just yesterday). Again, "we must get there by dark" and believe it or not..."the wind is always on the nose!" Says my captain, my man.

Today was an exception. Thank you sailing gods! We made it in 6.5 hours and sailed fabulously the whole way! Now I know I sound like I'm exaggerating, like I do sometimes, but it was really hoity toity snubbing our noses up at Mustique...saying "we like Bequia better!" "Neener, neener, neener!"

We love Bequia, a lot, just in case you haven't noticed!

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!
