Good bye

27 June 2008 | Antigua
It is the night before our departure and I am sad. I would gladly stay here for the entire hurricane season. Ben's riding school is having a summer camp, temo sports is having a tennis camp and then there is the yacht club and all of the various activities there.
However, if we do not like where we are down island I will have no qualms about coming back up , hanging out for the season and then making our way over to Panama from here. This is a place I could settle and raise our children for a while.
Instead of feeling bummed I should be grateful to have had such a fantastic time. Cruising is about saying good byes and this is a tough one. I hope to see them again somewhere down the road.
I just love Antigua, it gives me calm and a sense of security that I find in few places. There is a wonderful cast of characters here and each bring a little bit of crazy to the table making this place AWESOME. The community has welcomed us with open arms, we could not have asked for more or better.
That's all for now.
Next report will be from Guadaloupe.
