Voyage of the Solstice

Now you're talkin. Finally the coats and warm clothes can come off. The water is beautiful, warm and clear. I really liked this place. Lynda and Peter aboard. Poor Peter stayed a little too late at the Ha-Ha dinner on shore. The waves got so big that the panga drivers would no longer take people to their boats. So he and 72 others had to spend the night on the beach the night before our departure for CSL. It did not seem like a very good experience for him. Rumors were that a wet t-shirt contest took place to help wile away the hours. We left early in the morning, motorsailing due to the light winds.

Vessel Name:	Solstice
Vessel Make/Model:	Island Packet 485
Hailing Port:	Coronado California
Crew:	Bruce Bock
About:	Bruce 53 year old, just retired ENT surgeon. After 40 years of different types of local sailing, I now plan to extend my horizons to Mexico, Central America, and basically all places tropical. Winslow and Sedona are the ship's dogs
Extra:	My plan is to sail south along the west coast of Mexico, starting with the Baja Ha Ha. Then further south to Costa Rica and Panama. Once there I will likely pass through the Panama Canal into the Caribbrean. I will spend my first hurricane season in the safety of the far southern portions of the [...] Caribbean and probably the Rio Dulce area of Guatemala. The second year I will probably spend initially in the Florida area, then heading up the East Coast of the US. I will possible complete a great circle route passing into the Great Lakes, evenually getting back to the Caribbean via the Missippi River. Eventually I would like to complete a circumnavigation, but that particualr distinction is not important to me. More
