We are back
at St Thomas after spending three weeks in Lancaster visiting family and
friends and saying our goodbyes before we depart on our voyage to England. It was great fun being home to watch the
trees bud and spend a special Easter at my sister and brother-in-law’s
home.
Adventuress
was happy in her slip at Oasis Cove Marina here in St Thomas, a beautiful new
marina owned by Jonathan and Paul Sabers.
Here’s a picture of Adventuress secure in her slip:
And a picture of Jonathan, a great guy, who has become a friend of ours. Thanks Jon, for accommodating us and providing such a beautiful and safe environment to keep our boat.
While we
were home we shipped many items to our good friend, Donna Liska. Here she is after delivering 7 boxes to our
marina. And thank you dear Donna for being
such a great friend and helping us while we were in St Thomas!
Dave
Hornbach came early to help us with a few projects. Here’s John and Dave working on installing a new
replacement ram drive for the autopilot. 
We replaced the brushes on the old one in
December, and the autopilot worked perfectly all winter. But right before we
returned to Lancaster, we had a “blip” so we decided to purchase a new
hydraulic ram. Thanks Dave for your
capable help. If he wasn’t here I would
be in the hole!
Bob Nelson,
our second crew man, arrives in two days, on Monday! Then the real excitement begins! We will prepare the boat for sailing offshore
on our next adventure……the voyage to England via Bermuda and the Azores!
Our very
best,
Nancy, John
and Dave
