Goodbye Marina, Hello Caribbean Cruising!

Thursday January 16

Adventuress threw off her lines this afternoon and romped out of Oyster Pond with a big smile on her face, and with her mainsail gleaming in the sunshine. Soon the motor was off and we in turn were grinning as we bore away North Westwards under full Jib and reefed Main: great to be sailing again! Just forty minutes later we entered Orient Bay and anchored behind the reef:

 

and we jumped in: great to be swimming again! After our dip we had to celebrate the repaired swim ladder, good as new:

 

Our celebration included marinating lime in ice, gin and tonic:

 

And of course we toasted the early sunset behind the western hills:

 

Now it’s Saturday and we are anchored in Grand Case, another old favourite of ours:

 

And JFK is unhappily obeying all the local laws!

 

Best to all,

John and Nancy
