Hi,
We(myself and two crew members I have recruited for this trip) took a trip to a neighboring Marina on the Turks and Caicos. When we arrived we realized we were living in the low rent part of the Turks and Caicos. That is not ok so we decided it was time to move up in the world. This beautiful yacht was at the end of the dock. We decided it should be our new boat. Does anyone have 18 million that they want to give us. They are asking 18.5 million but I am sure we can talk them down. Come on now, any takers. It is probably just as well as we sadly head back to our slums.
While at the marina we met with two other sailing couples who are sailing to the Dominican Republic. We were given an introduction to them via Jeff and Jean from Two Can Sail. The one couple is one of Jeff and Jean's ducklings as Jean affectionally calls us( I am one of her ducklings too) that have ventured into this world of sailing with the help and guidance of Jeff and Jean and their company Two Can Sail.
Tomorrow we wil start our trip to the Dominican Republic. Originally we had planned on one short day and one very long day to reach Ocean World Marina.
After we met these two other couples, we have decided to buddy boat with them and take a more leisurely pace. It is always more enjoyable and safer to be with other boats that you know.
It has been over 3 months since Mile High Dream has shaken out her sails and she is ready. I on the other hand am trying to remember everything that needs to get done before we head out. My two crew members, Dylan and Ted are willing and able so off we will go into the wild blue yonder. We hope not to yonder too far. i am sure there will be a few things flying around as we get under sail. Getting everything organized was Mary's strength and not mine. i would rather just go. So with every pot that flys off the shelf, and every book that slides to the floor that I did not properly store, I will remember Mary. The memories will bring thoughts of happy times and it will give me strength on this new adventure. It will be a great day.
