Hello friends, We have received several emails from friends regarding our anticipated float plan and any potential off shore sailing opportunities.
Our plan is as follows: If the boat is splashed before Dec. 10th we are sailing non stop to Antiqua to meet friends due to arrive on that date. If the yard cannot make that deadline we will splash when everything is completed and enjoy meandering northward, exploring all the islands on the way to Antiqua and Barbuda.
We then plan to cross the Caribbean sea to the ABC's for some excellent, SCUBA, fishing, snorkeling, hiking, pina coladas and local cuisine. We are working on getting approval from our insurance provider for our intended sail westward to Cartagena and Panama. The specific dates will be provided as we get closer to accomplishing these goals.
Next hurricane season we will be in the Panama area. Hurricane season is the only solid target. We were in Nova Scotia our first hurricane season, in Trinidad and the Windward Islands this past season and in and around Panama the season to come.
We are sailors and seldom remain anywhere too long. We love the challenge of sailing, testing our mettle and exploring new places and making new friends.
Phil and I are truly at peace when out at sea. Moon Dancer performs beautifully when her sails are balanced and she is on the heel..
We look forward to sharing these off shore passages with our competent sailor friends.
At this juncture however, all our energy is currently directed toward getting out of the yard and splashing the Dancer!
