The winds are changing

The winds are changing.
We are currently in St. Barts and are planning our next move. Linda and I have decided to head back to Florida for the summer. It's time to spend some time with family and especially Linda's mother. Age is catching up with her and it would be a shame to miss this valuable time. So, we are going to amble back to the states over the next two months. After the Easter holiday we are headed to the island nation of SABA for a few days then a nonstop sail to St Croix. Even after all the time we have spent in the Virgin island we have never been to St Croix which is about 45 miles south of the main Virgin islands. After that stop we will sail to Colebra in the Spanish Virgins.
Soon we will have lived on the boat for 2 years and believe it or not neither one of us is ready to give it up. Sometimes you have to make allowances for other things then your dreams. Right now our only plan is to be in Florida till then end of the hurricane season. At that time we will take stock of life and decide when to head out again. We both know that there will be another trip but the exact date escapes us.
I know it has been hard for people to travel to the Caribbean to meat us. Hope fully when we are in Florida you will all come and visit us. We will still be living on the boat and taking small trips to the keys and the Bahamas. Hope to see you soon.
