Adventure begins

Ok, Ok we heard and listened from our family, friends and fellow yachties. the blog is officially back on line. the advanced (?) package should deliver better tracking and allow more photos and longer posts.

We Leave on Saturday, October 27th at 06:30 and should be opening up Pisces by 13:00hrs in +30C temperatures. We have rented an apartment on site for the first couple of days to help us acclimatize. its 10C as I write this blog. Pisces is being launched on Nov 3rd and if everything is completed by the contractor as planned it means we should be on our way a couple of days later. Cross your fingers for us.

Now remember all plans for the coming winter are written in sand at low tide, so don't be disappointed if things change mid sail or even after a blog as been posted.

We have joined the Suzy Too Rally and have to be in Curacao by the last week of November. Curacao is the middle island of the Dutch Antilles better known as the ABC's (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) which lay 100 miles +/- off Venezuela. Piracy is not an issue.

This doesn't leave us much time after launch to provision and get Pisces ready. Thankfully Curacao is a Dutch island with good provisioning and chandleries so what is not available in Grenada we should (?) be able to obtain there. Then its off to Aruba, Columbia, the San Blas Islands off Panama, back to Columbia then the out islands of Nicaragua, Honduras and Belize. Really not sure yet where Pisces will be stored for the summer of 2019 but there is lots of time to settle that matter.

The next blog will be from Grenada, patience everyone.
