Not too much, not too little


This lovely fellow was either drying his wings, or getting ready to make a move as the Captain edged closer in the dingy to get a good shot.  Isn't he a handsome fellow?  He may look good, but you should know that in close proximity, he smells like his dinner, verrrry fishy.

We are also getting ready to take off.  Our bags are packed, and we're ready to go. All we need now is the right weather window - not too much, not too little.  As of this posting, the plan is to leave on Wednesday of next week, but we're watching every day to see how the weather unfolds.

Our first destination is Cienfuegos, Cuba, where we've been before. Once there, we plan to leave the boat in the marina and travel over land to spend a few days in Havana.  Then we will return to the boat and do a little more cruising in the archepelagos to the west and east of Cienfuegos, before returning back to Jamaica for the beginning of June.

I will do my best to post more frequently during this trip, so stay tuned.  We will also be using our Spot Tracker, so be sure to click on "location via satellite" tab above for our current location.

We want our sail to include as much friendly wildlife as this fisherman has on his boat.

Living life under the rainbow, that's been the last 5 months here in Jamaica.
