We're finally on the move south. We left Treasure Cay dock yesterday about 8:30 Am and were here at HarborView Marina by noon. We even got to SAIL - what a concept. Of course the wind was from the wrong direction so we were heading for Great Guana Cay... Finally we took down the jib and motored west to this marina but it was really nice for a couple of hours.
Lew and Emery McGraw have decided that Em will help Lew get the boat home startin April 18 or so. The McGraws are leaving Honeywind here for the summer season. The guys will both enjoy the trip I'm sure. Em will help get the boat as far up the ICW or coast as possible then fly to Canada by April 30. We may need some help after that.
I will fly home the end of April. Earlier, Patty will fly from Nassau to Canada so she doesn't have to go through customs and immigration twice. Makes sense to me. That is all a long way off but it is good to have it figured out. For now we're just enjoying sometimes crummy weather in one of the most beautifuul places on earth.
We're 12 miles south of our last marina. Harbourview Marina is where we spent the first part of my trip last winter. It is so much calmer now - no Christmas hubub. We'll be here for a week. It is hard to get emails because to get them on the boat is an extra expense. (no cable either but we do have electricity which is lovely.) So we wait until the office is open and their emails are up and running to do this.
We are in "Paradise" but every time the weather changes or we change marinas, all the simple things like emails and showers have to be done in a new way! It keeps us on our toes, literally! Tee Hee. Someday we might actually get a photo of the ordeal of getting off the boat when it is low tide. Lew's legs are longer than mine so he can navigate the dock and its ladder a lot easier than I. So far I haven't fallen in. So far! :-)
