We have had many visitors so far on this adventure which enriched our lives tremendously. Thank you Kevin and Theresa, Jenna, Karen and Andy, Christian and Elizabeth, Nathan and Sarah, Jan and Glenn, Kel and Andrew, Lisa and Steve, Otto and Linda for making the time to share in our travels. It was great to share lunch with my Dad and Carolyn while their cruise ship was in Tortola for the day. Was so super to see them.
We have seen many sights, but the most rewarding for me is the people we have met and the cultures to which we have been introduced.
Since discovering the oil leak in the sail drives in late November we have not known where we were headed. Originally we were going back north but then Hurricane Sandy put a damper on that. Living in a state of confusion has been hard on the nerves to say the least. Poor Kirk!!!! We have been having trial runs, checking the levels almost daily, trying all sorts of variables and then the hours spent trying to make sense of the whole situation.
We are now going to head for St Marten and see how the engines do. We are in North Sound, preparing to leave. This morning we changed the fuel filters. Yesterday we filled up the tanks. We provisioned a great deal in St Thomas but are picking up a few things at the little market here. There is a market in St Marten but being Easter weekend you never know if they will be open or if they will have any provisions.
One of the reasons to write this blog is that the internet connection which we have become accustomed to here in the Virgin Islands will become sparse. Phone service will be another challenge but on and on we go......
These two pictures are of Sail Rock which is in between St Thomas and Culebra. We were in a rather large North swell and it made the breakers on the "island" beautiful. Kirk captured these photos.
Happy Easter!
Ample knowledge about auto transport.
