Getting Ready to leave
13 January 2011 | Fajardo, Puerto Rico

We have spent the day doing chores. We have put on several coats of varnish in the cockpit and handrails (over the last several days), done the laundry (at my all time favorite Laundromat), washed and waxed the boat, unpickled the water maker, filled the water and fuel tanks and many other chores that we had on our list to do while on the dock. Our neighbors have been asking us why we are leaving and when we will be returning; they think that we have made this our home and we will be back next week. Our starboard side neighbors are sport fisherman and I have been tossing them their dock lines when they return and in return they share extra fish when the clients declined the fish.
I will miss Puerto Rico, our neighbors, the hikes in El Yunque, the green heron that sits on our dock line at night and gives his soft call and so much more (did I mention that I will miss the street food?), but it is time to turn ourselves to the Virgin Islands. See you there
