2014.04.01 Request for bad weather pictures

It is always wonderful to get some feedback....of any sort...I least we know that some people are looking at our blog!

This is an excerpt from the email we received from our friend Peter ...

          " However, for us mortals, especially those in Montreal, it would be nice to occasionally receive a few pictures showing miserable weather conditions ........"

A nasty bit of fog!

2014.01.11 Hope Town...

 Neatly installed on a saturday...perfect fit...and working beautifully, now we can be on our way

We were very lucky and had a weather window right after that...so a whole fleet (I counted 23 on the VHF) sailed out of Lake Worth inlet on december 30th at 0400...we had a very uneventful crossing and arrived in Great Sale at 2000 after dark again and anchored for the night...at twilight the next morning we set sail for Green Turtle Cay...had a surprisingly bumpy ride but arrived just in time to celebrate new year's eve with our GTC friends... I must admit that I was in bed by 2030 after 2 long traveling days and David was not far behind.

We were there also just in time for Junkanoo on Green Turtle Cay...

Much better...just don't look at the camera!!!
