Long Time No Sea

Nell Kellett/ Rainy Season
Well, its certainly been a while. So much has happened and yet so little.. I know, a riddle,, We spent six months in beautiful Bonaire, diving and spending time with great friends. It was wonderful and probably the best Hurricane season ever.. Yes, my life is measured in Hurricane seasons.. We took on two crew members and continued on to Curacao to pick up a new dinghy then continued on to Aruba for a week of Casino and Ice cream for Phil.. Designer window shopping for me.. All good.
We prepared for our crossing from Aruba to Panama, a trip that is known for some pretty treacherous waters.. It was a bit bumpy and one of our crew members decided that this was not for him.. The other stayed but it was clear that he was not committed to the lifestyle.
Phil and I thought the trip to Panama was fine. A little bumpy but overall a good passage. We found out we needed a new main so we stopped at Puerto Lindo, Panama to visit with old friends and order a new main sail.. I found a new friend as well,,a sloth.. He is so cute and affectionate.. Loved it...We stayed about a week in Puerto Lindo and proceeded on to Shelter Bay Marina on the Carib side of Panama. As soon as we arrived in Shelter Bay Marina we started preparing for our next chapter.. Life is great...
