Culebrita, Spanish Virgin Islands 21.50 May 7. At anchor
The list for offshore prep is almost complete (we have only to drop the dinghy from the davits, and store it and the motor on deck) and we have a favorable wx forecast for the next five to six days, boding a fine sail to Bermuda. So we may leave tomorrow morning. But then again, we may not, because we are happily not on a timetable dictated by the calendar; but rather, we will leave when we are ready and when we are rested. In fact, we may not leave tomorrow simply because the snorkelling in Louis Pena is superb: so we may just travel 5 nm to Louis Pena and explore the reefs.
Dinner tonight was lobster tails, steamed and then finished in hot butter and garlic: boy were they good, and thank you, Donna for bringing us that lovely treat!
We will now be out of range of telephone and internet, but will post here to the blog most days on our trip. We have a very strong crew, and a carefully prepared yacht, and yet: we still expect the unexpected. We do not expect, however, to meet any challenge that we cannot overcome with our combination of experience, preparation and ingenuity.
Best warm wished to all our readers, and especially to John and Bev Parker: as you follow our adventure, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
John and Nancy, with Bob Nelson and Dave Hornbach
In 2014 Adventuress sailed to Europe. She made landfall in Muxia Spain; then England. After cruising the English South Coast, and the Channel Islands, she wintered at Woodbridge, England. The next three summers we cruised England, Holland, Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar. For the foreseeable future Adventuress will sail in Europe. UPDATE: it's October 2021 and we are sailing her back to the USA: Transat passage will be Nov/Dec: expect to be in Florida end of January.
