We have been back in the states for a month and will be flying back to Guatemala to get over the bar the end of Oct. We are planing to head to the Panama region this winter if the weather allows. We have missed the sailing since arriving at the Rio in July this year. Life is good and my daughter is pregnant. That will require a trip home in May 2013 for the birth. We will update more when we get back underway

We are still working on the boat and staying busy. A new grandchild also keeps us busy. Bishop is a great kid. Friends on Tropical Hideaway are in a slip next door to us and are reading the boat to head south to the NW Caribbean. We will most likely follow in April. We are looking forward to seeing old friends again. Life is not fast enough for us here in Sun City. Hello to all.
