It is the Fundamentals Course which is the prerequisite to be a Sail Canada Instructor. <br />
This is going to be great as I am hoping to help get more instructors here in Cape Breton and grow the number of sailors. I added a page on blog now for instructors<br />

We headed downwind down the Great Bras d'Or Channel towards the Seal Island Bridges, gybing to go under the bridge. We had 20 to 27 knots of wind. We traveled at knots and we had a knot of current with us. We passed Big Bras d'Or amd Black Rock on our starboard and New Cableton on our port. We saw Bird Islands as we exited the channel.<br />

Once we reached the ocean and went around the point, the wind dropped to 10 to 15 knots. We rounded around the point on a broad reach, passing Point Aconi, Alder Point, Little Pond, Big Pond, and Sydney Mines. We entered Sydney Harbour at 3:30 pm, sailing upwind.<br />

The Northern Yacht Club</h2>
Everyone at the Northern Yacht Club was very welcoming and I discovered an active sailing scene. So while my boat was around in the Bras D'Ors Lakes I got to go club racing with Steve and Holly. They were great hosts and we had a fantastic Wednesday night social sail. With club members like this and an active sailing scene I joined the club right away.<br />

My brother, Gerard, and his girlfriend, Yara, my uncle Mike and my Aunt Cathy, and my cousin Andrew joined Justin, Vada, and I. It was a perfect day for sailing: sunny, 20 knots of wind, and 1 to 2 ft of waves.<br />
<br />
Justin shuttled us all from the wharf to the Just Dreamin using Da's motor boat. He then kayaked out to Just Dreamin. We left around 2:00 pm. We tacked up the Bras d'Or Channel to Baddeck, pulling the kayak behind us.<br />
<br />
We tied up at the main wharf in Baddeck at 4:30 and walked up the street to get ice cream. As we were not planning on stopping, nobody but Gerard had their wallet. So he treated us to ice cream.<br />

We sailed downwind back to the wharf. The kayak flipped on us twice, making us stop to dump it out and slowing us down. We arrived home at 8:00 pm.<br />

Justin saw a cruise ship and a tall ship as he was leaving Halifax Harbour. Justin spent the morning watching episodes of "Bones." I woke up at 11:00 am. It was sunny and cool. Justin and I got out all the flags and tied them on ropes so that we can dress the boat up for our arrival home. Justin went to bed at 2:00 pm. We had 8 to 12 knots of wind all day. We moved along at 3 to 4 knots, with Nova Scotia to our port side. I watched episodes of "Hornblower, " and the movie "K19, Widowmaker." It was cold over night. We were bundled up as much as possible. We could see our breath. We ate soup and drank tea to keep warm.<br />

The next morning, Justin saw dolphins just after sunrise. We had enough wind to sail at 2 knots, but we wanted to make the canal before it closed at 4:00 pm. So Justin switched back and forth between motoring, sailing, and motor sailing to maintain over 5 knots. I woke up at 1:00 pm while we were coming around Isle Madame and approaching St. Peters Canal. The sun was shining and I took off my jacket once we got out of the channel winds. We entered the canal at 2:30 pm and exited at 3:30 pm. The canal had just opened for the season that day after replacing the swing bridge. Just Dreamin was the third boat through the canal since opening. We dropped about a foot and a half in the lock. Afterwards, I wrote the blog while Justin navigated the channel to the Bras d'Or Lakes. We were in home waters, only hours away from where I grew up. Justin made dinner as I kept watch.<br />
After dinner, Justin asked me to marry him and I said yes! We went through the drwabridge at Grand Narrows at 7:00 pm. We anchored for the night in Maskell Harbour at 8:30 pm.<br />

We left Maskell Harbour at 6:30 am on Saturday, June 17th. We motor-sailed down the Great Bras d'Or Channel towards home. We arrived at in front of my home at 9:00 am. My mom was waiting for us on the wharf. We circled around a few times, mapping the bottom and finding a place to anchor. After anchoring, we dropped the kayak into the water. My brother Gerard had arrived at this point with our dog Vada. We kayaked into the wharf. Vada became very excited once she saw us and greated us as we climbed up the wharf from the kayak. My grandmother and sister were waiting for us at the top of the hill at the house. We're finally home!<br />

We were docked at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, just outside of Halifax, by 1:00 pm. Wayne, the dock manager took us up to his office, and we called customs and immigration. Customs and immigration came to take a look at our boat. We were finished up by 3:00 pm. We met Dennis, the Yacht Club liason, and he gave us lots of good information on winterizing our boat and cruising Nova Scotia. I took a quick shower, and then Justin and I headed up to the restaurant for a late lunch. I updated facebook. Justin called his parents. My friends, Jessie and Darren, with their adorable son, Hayden, came to visit us. After dinner, we showed Jessie, Darren, and Hayden the boat. We chatted and caught up until it was Hayden's bedtime. Afterwards, I went up to the Yacht Club and updated the blog. Justin got a shower and went to bed early. <br />

The following morning, Justin was supposed to wake up at 4:00 am, but slept through his alarm. We left at 6:30 am instead. We were trying to leave early so to arrive at the St. Peters Canal during operation hours. Next stop, Cape Breton.

We motored out, dodging lobster pots. Once we got out of the channel, we unfurled the jib. I took a nap from 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm. After a couple of hours out to sea, Justin raised the main sail. We had 16 to 26 knots of wind. The boat was moving at 5 to 7 knots on a broad reach, and we had a knot of current going with us. I did a later shift to allow Justin a chance to sleep since he went to bed later to allow me to nap. <br />

The next day was a sunny, lazy day, which we spent crossing the Gulf of Maine. We had 0 to 15 knots of wind. Thus, we spent the day going back and forth between sailing and motoring.<br />
The boat was traveling at 1 to 5 knots, and we had an additional knot of speed due to the current. We had horse flies on the boat and they were driving us nuts. We watched episodes of "Bones" to pass the time. I cut Justin's hair. We saw a fin in the water, but we had no idea what it was. I read and did a workout on my night shift. Justin finished his book on his night shift. We had 16 to 26 knots during the night and we were traveling at 6 to 7 knots. We forgot to turn on the navigational lights for night shift, and Justin had a close call with a container ship.<br />

On Tuesday, June 13th, Justin and I played crib and rummy to pass the time. The wind was blowing at 8 to 15 knots. We putted along at 4 to 5 knots on a run. Justin and I spent most of the day in the cockpit, chatting and enjoying the sun. Although we had to bundle up at night with sweaters, hats, and blankets, we spend the hottest part of the day in shorts and tee-shirts. We spent the day sailing within 12 to 20 nautical miles away from Nova Scotia; however, we couldn't see land. During the night, we had 12 to 20 knots of wind. We made excellent time, moving at 5 to 7 knots.<br />

I woke up the next morning at 10:30 am and joined Justin in the cockpit. We were coming up on the entrance to Halifax Harbour. We dropped the sails at 11:00 am. We saw a huge, Italian square rigger coming out of Halifax Harbour as we were coming in. We docked at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron by 1:00 pm.<br />

Justin took a nap. I watched episodes of "Bones." I made us bacon and eggs for a late lunch. Then, I did a Pure Barre workout. Afterwards, Justin and I took the dingy to the government wharf in Pepperell Cove. A local sailing couple offered us a ride into town after we asked for directions. The couple kindly dropped us off in downtown Kittery Point, where we had dinner at Rudders Public House. After dinner, we enjoyed a leasurely 4 km walk back to the government wharf and arrived back at the boat around 9:00 pm.<br />

The next morning was overcast and cool. We slept in. Justin made us french toast for breakfast. We cleaned the boat and prepared the boat to be left alone for a few days as we were going to be staying with our friends, Ken and Adrienne McCarthy. We went to shore at 2:00 pm, leaving the dingy at the government wharf. Justin mailed the broken bow sprit back to the manufacturer. We walked to Fort McClary and wondered around the historic site. Ken picked us up at 4:30 pm by the government wharf, and took us back to his home on Cobbetts Pond in Windam, New Hampshire. Adrienne joined us at their home after she finished work. Ken barbecued us some pork loin and vegetables. We caught up over beers and wine.<br />

Tuesday, June 6th was rainy and cool, but that didn't slow us down. Adrienne had to teach an early class and left at the crack of dawn. Justin, Ken, and I slept in. I borrowed the washer and dryer to do laundry. We picked up Adrienne at work and we checked out Ken and Adrienne's Pure Barre studio in Bedford, New Hampshire. All four of us went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for lunch. After some Asian vegan food at the Green Elephant, Adrienne and Ken took us for a tour of downtown Portsmouth, ending up at the Thirsty Moose Tap House, where we sampled local beers. We finished the night by going out to a lovely dinner with Adrienne's parents, Fran and John Boss, at Common Man Restaurant in Windam, New Hampshire.<br />

The following day was beautiful and sunny. By the end of the day, we had seen lots of animals around the lake: rabbits, grey squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, turkeys, blue jays, robins, loons, blue herons, and Canadian geese. We went out for breakfast at Mary Ann's Dinner. Ken and Adrienne took Justin and I out on the family pontoon around Cobbetts Pond. Afterwards, we took a drive around Windam, culminating with ice cream at Johnson's Farmstand. Adrienne had to teach some classes, so Justin, Ken, and I went back out on the pontoon. We ran into Fran and John Boss and chatted for a bit. We ended the night with a bonfire at Ken and Adrienne's home.<br />

On June 8th, we went to Adrienne and Ken's Pure Barre studio in Nashua, New Hampshire. Justin, Ken, and I took the 7:00 am class, which Adrienne taught. Fran took the class as well. Adrienne, Ken, Justin, Fran, and I had breakfast at Press Cafe after class. Justin and I took Ken and Adrienne out on Just Dreamin from 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm. We had another beautiful, sunny day. We had 20 knots of wind and 8 ft of swell. We sailed around the Isles of Shoals, sailing at every point of sail in the process. We enjoyed a few beer and then I made tea to warm us up. We ate lobster and seafood for dinner at the Lobster Pound Harbourside in Cape Neddick, Maine. We then went to bed early. <br />

Ken and Adrienne had to work the next morning. I used the morning to enjoy a bath, call my mom, and catch up on laundry. Justin chilled and made us some breakfast and tea. I helped Adrienne out by painting some hearts for a wedding shower. In the afternoon, Ken drove Justin and I out to Boston, and we took the Boston Duck tour around the city. We had steak tacos for dinner back at the house with Adrienne, and then sat outside by the bonfire.<br />

On Saturday, June 10th, Justin and I said goodbye to Adrienne in the morning as she had to attend a wedding shower and then had to fly out to Colorado. Ken got caught up with work in the morning. During which time, Justin installed some door stops in the bathroom, and helped Ken fix the screen doors. Ken made us some kale and spinach smoothies for breakfast. Ken, Justin, and I did some running around in the afternoon. We picked up some groceries for the last leg of our journey. We also got some new pillows since the ones that Ken and Adrienne had on their guest bedroom were so comfortable. We spent a few hours in the late afternoon on the pontoon. I called family. We had another bonfire and roasted steak on the bonfire. We also grilled veggies on the barbecue. <br />

Justin and I slept in the following morning. We sorted our stuff while Ken was at work. I did a cardio workout. Justin washed our guest sheets and towels. Ken got back from work just after lunch. He made us kale and spinach smoothies, and then he drove us out to our boat in Kittery Point, Maine in the afternoon. Justin and I readied the boat and set out at 6:00 pm. Homeward bound!<br />

It was 36 degrees Celsius and sunny, but we had little wind. We put the sails up at 12:30 pm, but we were motoring again by 1:00 pm. We tried to sail again at 3:00 pm, but had to turn the motor on at 3:40 pm. We were cruising at an average of 5 to 7 knots over the day with Connecticut to our port and Long Island to our starboard. I watched the movie, "My Left Foot," and sorted photos for our blog. We needed to time our entry to Cape Cod Canal for the early morning slack tide. Since we'd be waiting in any case to catch the tide, we decided to anchor for the night. Also, we were concerned about hitting a lobster pot and fouling the propeller if we drove through the night. So we anchored off of Long Island at 8:00 pm, about midway along the length of the island near Mount Sinai Harbour. We were in bed at 9:00, and we watched the movie, "Philadelphia."<br />

We woke up the next morning at 5:00 am. When the anchor was 3/4 of the way up, the windless stopped working. Justin had to haul the anchor up the rest of the way by hand. We were under way before 6:00 am. Justin laid back down for a nap from 6:30 am until 10:30 am. We had a beautiful, calm morning. We motored at 5.5 knots with up to 3.5 knots of current going with us, dodging crab and lobster pots along the way. We started sailing at 12:00 pm, pushing along at 4 to 5 knots, first on a square reach and then on a run. We watched the movies, "Evelyn" and "Oblivion." I took a 2.5 hour nap while we crossed the Rhode Island Sound. Justin fixed the broken connection on the anchor windless. Justin cooked Italian sausages for dinner. I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. We were both up in the cockpit once it became dark, looking for channel markers and navigational hazards. At 9:30 pm, we anchored off of Nashawena Island, Massachusetts for the night.<br />

On Saturday, June 3rd, Justin got up at 5:30 am. We were off before 6:00 am. I slept in. There were many recreational fishing boats about. We sailed, reaching the channel to the Cape Code Canal at 9:30 am. At which point, we motored at 6 knots. We entered the canal itself at 10:30 am. The canal crossing took us about 2.5 hours, during which we saw up to 1.5 knots of current against us (we would have seen up to 6 knots if we hadn't timed the crossing with slack tide). We stopped at Sandwich Marina for diesel. As soon as we left the canal, we put up the sails. We sailed at 6 knots on a reach through Cape Cod Bay until 3:00 pm, at which time we had to motor because we lost the wind. We passed through the shipping channel to Boston around 7:00 pm; although we were 30 nautical miles away from the city, we could make out the skyscrapers of Boston on the horizon. Justin went to bed early, and I took the first shift of the night. We motored until 11:00 pm; the rest of the night, we were tacking into the wind. <br />

We started motoring when we entered Portsmouth Harbour at 9:00 am the following morning. The area has an 8 ft tide. So the only good anchorage for a boat with 8 ft of draft was accross the harbour, which is actually in Maine. We had difficulty finding a spot to anchor due to the high amount of lobster traps and mooring buoys. We were anchored in Pepperell Cove by Kittery Point, Maine by 9:30 am.<br />

It was a foggy, cool morning. We left the boat at around 9:30 am to take Uncle Mike to shore to catch an uber to the Newark Airport. It turned out that the uber driver, Jack, was the commodore at Atlantic Highlands Yaught Club. He invited Justin and I to go racing with his crew in the evening.<br />

Justin and I had breakfast on the pier at Sissy's Restaurant. By the time we finished, the fog had lifted and sun had come out.<br />
<br />
Justin and I spent the rest of the morning walking along First St. in Atlantic Highlands and stopping in at the little shops. We checked out the local hardware stores, and we picked up a few groceries. <br />

We had returned to the boat by 2:00 pm. Justin tried to run the water maker, but it would not work. Justin cleaned and lubricated the seal, and then the water maker worked.<br />
<br />
We went back to shore at 3:30 pm. We stopped in at First Cup Cafe for coffee and WiFi. Justin left by 4:30 to go do the race and I stayed behind. The cafe held an open mike for the local high school students. So I enjoyed listening to these talented, young singers while I posted photos on facebook, updated the blog, and called family. <br />

Justin met up with Jack and met the crew of Great American Nude. There was about 30 boats participating in the Wednesday night social race. During the beginning of the race, the jib furler broke when they were trying to furl the jib after they had put up the spinnaker. In addition, the race was restarted due to a missing course marker. Due to the broken jib furler, Great American Nude decided not to do the second try at the race. Instead, they decided it was beer o'clock. <br />

I met Justin at the yaught club and was introduced to the other members of the boat crew. Justin and I headed back to the boat around 9:30 pm.<br />
<br />
We woke up at 5:00 am on June 1st, readied the boat, and left Sandy Hook Bay by 6:00 am so that we would reach Hell's Gate at slack tide. It was another foggy and cool morning (about 16 degrees Celsius before the windchill). Justin and I wore jackets, scarfs, and hats. I made tea to warm us up.<br />

Relying on GPS, radar, and navigational markers, we motored accross Lower Bay towards New York City in heavy fog. I took a 2 hour nap while Justin manned the helm. We passed by Coney Island (not that we could see it through the fog) and passed under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge by 9:30 am, entering New York City Harbour. We couldn't see the bridge until we were basically directly underneath it. We hugged the shore to stay out of the Ambrose Channel and to avoid the massive barges, fast ferries, and large ships transiting the harbour. We could hear the fog horns from the shipping traffic going off one after the other, but we couldn't see any other boats due to the thick fog. Both Justin and I stayed up on deck with our eyes pealed looking for navigational hazards in our path.<br />

Thankfully, the fog started to cleared at 10:00 am, revealing all the ships surrounding us. The sun had come out, and we started pealing off the layers of clothing. To our delight, we got to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. <br />

While transiting the harbour, the US Coast Guard pulled up along side of us, asked us a few questions, and indicated that they wanted to board us. They inquired if we were traveling with the other sail boat in front of us. When they determined that we weren't associated with the other sail boat, they lost interest in us. I asked if they still intended to board us. The coastguard said that they were tasked with boarding the other sail boat, that they didn't necessarily want to board us, and that it might be best if we just hurried along out of there while they were busy with the other sail boat. So we did just that.<br />

We entered Hell's Gate at 12:00 pm, turning right so that Wards Island was on our port side and Queens was on our starboard side. The current was quite strong (3 knots) even though we only passed through Hell's Gate about 30 minutes after slack tide. Right when we were passing a large barge coming from the opposite direction in Hell's Gate, a large motor yaught decided to rudely overtake us on our other side so that we were three abreast in a restricted area known for strong currents and back eddies. <br />

We typically saw 12 to 20 knots of wind. The boat speed averaged 6 to 7 knots and we had up to 5 knots of current. Although we ran directly downwind or sailed into weather at some points, we were mostly reaching. We traveled from 28 degrees of latitude to 40 degrees of latitude, and dropped 10 to 15 degrees Celsius in temperature. <br />

On Thursday, May 25th, we left Ocean Club Marina in Cape Canaveral, Florida by 1:30 pm. I tidied the saloon and cabin while Justin and Uncle Mike took the boat out of the marina. We motored out to sea. We tried to sail, but the wind died. So, we motored until 5:00 pm. During the afternoon, we all sampled three different chocolate cheesecakes. I made spaghetti for dinner. Uncle Mike made strawberry shortcake for dessert. Justin and Uncle Mike played crib. I read and went to bed early. We maintained our shift schedule: I did from 12 am/pm to 4 am/pm; Justin, 4 am/pm to 8 am/pm; and Uncle Mike, 8 am/pm to 12 pm/am. The wind was blowing at 15 to 20 knots, and the boat was cruising at 7 to 8 knots. In addition, we had 4 to 5 knots of current. We did over 200 nautical miles in the first 24 hours of sailing. <br />

The next morning, I woke up to find Uncle Mike reading the boat manuals (on the feathering propeller and the water maker) for some light reading material. The boat was moving at 4 to 6 knots on a square reach, and we had an additional 2 knots of current. During the day, I wrote my MC speech for my cousin's wedding, and I got in a Pure Barre workout. Uncle Mike started reading a Robert Ludlum book. Justin played strategy games from his childhood on an emulator and took a nap. We had tacos for dinner, and Uncle Mike made strawberry shortcake again upon unanimous requests. We again did more than 200 nautical miles over 24 hours.<br />

On May 27th, Justin and Uncle Mike sewed the main sail where the stitching had come undone because it had been rubbing on the spreaders. I sorted pictures for the blog. Justin updated his boat log. Uncle Mike finished reading his book. We were on a broad reach with 8 knots (at beginning of the day) to 20 knots (towards the end of the day) of wind. The boat was doing 4 to 7 knots, with up to 1 knot of current going with the boat. We were making very good progress. At 6:00 pm, the wind had shifted such that the boat was on a square run. So, Justin took the main sail down and put the jib on the spiniker pole. The batteries ran low early in the night, and Uncle Mike had to hand steer for the majority of his shift. To charge the batteries, we ran the motor for the entirety of my shift. I got in a Ballet Physique workout on my night shift. <br />

The following morning, we were going to shut down the motor at the beginning of Justin's shift, but the throttle controller ceased. So from 4:30 am until 12:00 pm, Justin and Uncle Mike were fixing the throttle controller. I made everyone french toast for lunch. We played card games (Iota and Game of Thrones) during the afternoon. We had 12 to 20 knots of wind. The boat was traveling at 5 to 6 knots. Also, there was an additional 2 to 4 knots of current. We started having lightning and thunder around 5:00 pm, and it carried on until 3:00 am. We ran the motor from 8:00 pm until 11:00 pm, when the wind temporarily died. Afterwards, the winds came right back up to 12 knots, and we did 4 to 6 knots on a square reach. I did pilates and watch episodes of Bones on my night shift. Justin and I wore sweaters on night shift, and we all slept in either blankets or sleeping bags (the first time since our rough open water passage to Jamaica).<br />

We had fog all morning on May 29th, and we discovered that the radar wasn't working (probably because of a loose connection). We wore sweaters or jackets during the day. I pulled out my whool socks. We played Rummy, chatted, and listened to Uncle Mike's music. During the day, the wind was blowing at 10 to 20 knots. We cruised along at 4 to 7 knots. The wind swung 270 degrees over the day and we started going into the weather at 1:00 pm. Justin took a nap. I made hamburgers for dinner; we had chocolate cheesecake for dessert. The wind died and we motored at 5 knots between 12:00 am and 5:00 am.<br />

The following morning, Uncle Mike made us scrambled eggs for breakfast. We cruised all day on a broad reach at 6 to 7 knots with up to an additional knot of current. We played crib and cards (crazy eights). Although the temperature only dropped down to 18 degrees Celsius, we minded the cold, partially due to the dampness and windchill from the water and partially due to lack of acclimatization. Justin and I had to wear jackets and hats throughout the day. Justin made basil pesto and chicken pasta for dinner. Uncle Mike booked his flight home to Nova Scotia for the next day. We turned on the motor at 7:00 pm for traversing the Sandy Hook Channel. Justin made hot chocolate to warm us up. Justin got the radar working by jiggling the wires. We anchored at 9:30 pm in Sandy Hook Bay by Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, just outside of the the southern channel to New York.<br />

I made fried egg and pastrami grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast. Justin got everything sorted with the marina, and then we caught an uber to customs and immigration. Afterwards, we went to Kennedy Space Centre. We spent the entire afternoon and early evening at the Space Centre. We checked out some of the old rockets in the Rocket Garden. We did a bus tour which showed us the Vehicle Assembly Building, a couple of crawler transporters, the 39A and B Launch Pads, and rocket support structure. We were dropped off at the Apollo / Saturn V Centre, where we checked out the Apollo 18 rocket ship. Afterwards, we checked out the Atlantis space shuttle. We returned back to the boat for a few beers. I took advantage of the internet, and caught up on the blog.<br />

On May 25th, we took an uber to Walmart to get supplies. I called family when we got back to the boat. I tidied the boat while Mike and Justin readied the boat for departure. We left Ocean Club Marina at 1:30 pm.<br />

I got to do a 40 minute workout while they were gone. We left Nassau mid morning. We had calm waters and 6 to 8 knots of wind. The boat's speed was 4 to 6 knots. We put up the asymmetrical spinnaker at 1:30 pm as we had ideal conditions for it. Justin was super excited as this was our first time using the newly installed bow sprit. The bow sprit and asymmetrical spinnaker should allow us to travel faster in 5 to 20 knots of wind. We divided the day into 6 shifts, each four hours long. I took the 12 am/pm to 4 am/pm shifts; Justin, 4 am/pm to 8 am/pm shifts; and Uncle Mike, 8 am/pm to 12 pm/am shifts. Justin made us Bahama Mamas in the evening, and we had salad and pizza for dinner. We lost the wind around 5:00 pm. So we had to motor for about 5 hours, but we sailed for the rest of the night.<br />

The following morning, Justin discovered that the bow sprit had failed. The hinge had broken completely apart, even though we were using the bow sprit within the proper conditions (we had only seen between 12 and 18 knots of wind during the night). Justin was so disappointed. He pulled down the spiniker immediately. For the rest of the day, we were broad reaching with 12 to 18 knots of wind. The boat was doing 5 to 7 knots, but we were working against a knot of current, which slowed us down to 4 to 6 knots in terms of course over ground. Justin made us bacon and eggs for lunch. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I read some books on sailing, and I did yoga on the bow during the afternoon. Uncle Mike suffered from sea sickness, but he responded well to sea sickness medication. Over the night, our boat speed increased to 7 to 10.5 knots and we had 3 to 4 knots of current on top of that. So with white sails only, we were doing over 13 knots consistently in terms of course over ground. I did a workout on my night shift. The autohelm died at 4:00 am, and Justin hand steered for his shift.<br />

On May 24th, we entered the Port Canaveral Canal early in the morning. We saw dolphins playing in the canal. Uncle Mike and I readied the boat for a starboard side docking. We docked at Ocean Club Marina in Cape Canaveral, Florida at 9:00 am.<br />

Justin and I anchored in East Bay in the early afternoon. We took the dingy to shore to find a dingy dock and to get the lay of the land. We spent the afternoon in Starbucks, drinking ice coffee and tea, and researching things to do in Nassau. We picked up some groceries, and then we returned to the boat for dinner. We cleaned the boat while talking about what we were going to do in Nassau. <br />
<br />
We went to Fort Montagu the next morning. Afterwards we figured out how to get to downtown using the Tiki bus system. We meandered around downtown for an hour, seeing Rawson Square, Balcony House, and the Governor's House. We then headed back to Starbucks to meet up with Jon and Brie. Jon and Brie arrived from the airport around 3:00 pm. We brought their bags to the boat and caught up over beers. For dinner, we took the dingy to the Poop Deck. Afterwards at the boat, we played the game, "Joking Hazard."<br />

On the 13th, we had eggs and fruit for breakfast. We took the boat to the fuel dock to fill the boat and diesel containers, and then we re-anchored in the same spot. Then, we drove the dingy to shore and tied up at the small power boat dock at the Rubis Gas Station. We got on the 11 Tiki bus to downtown, where we checked out the Straw Market. We visited the Pirates of Nassau Museum and ate lunch at Smugglers. We walked up the hill to the John Watling's Distillery, where we did the free tour and sampled the rum. Afterwards, we explored the Graycliff Cigar Factory and watched the workers make boutique cigars by hand. We stopped in an ice cream parlor to sample their goods. Then we visited the Graycliff Chocolatier. Later on, we walked along Lighthouse Beach and through Arawak Cay. After which we caught the 19 Tiki bus back to Harbor Bay Shopping Centre, where we picked up groceries. We had beer and pizza in the cockpit of the boat for dinner. As an unexpected treat, fireworks were set off from Paradise Island. <br />

We were picked up at Harbor Bay Shopping Centre at 7:45 am the next morning to go snorkeling at Stuart Cove. A motor boat took us to two reefs, which we would have had difficulty getting to in our boat because of (1) the shallowness of the water, and (2) the lack of shelter from strong winds. We jumped off the top of the motor boat. We also got to swim with 8 ft long reef sharks. Afterwards, we picked up beer and ice, and brought it back to the boat. We left Nassau Harbor at 3:00 pm to make our way to the Berry Islands. En route, we had an unfortunate and freak accident. Fortunately, no one was badly hurt. Justin was tacking the boat. I was sitting in the cockpit. The jib sheet whipped over my head and wrapped around my neck. Justin depowered the jib immediately by luffing the boat into the wind, and I was able to pull the rope off my next. I was quite shaken, and my throat was bruised. We anchored for the night at 9:30 pm at Whale Cay. <br />

On Monday, May 15th, Justin made us bacon and eggs for breakfast. After which, we played the game called, "Exploding Kittens." Then, we moved to Guano Island, and we took the dingy to shore, pulling Jon and Brie behind the dingy in the kayak. On the way to shore, we saw the first of many stingrays. We spent the afternoon on the beach. Justin and Jon took the dingy around the island, and kayaked around the bay. We ended the day by watching the movie, "Waterworld," on the boat.<br />

We slept in the following morning and had bacon and eggs for breakfast again. We moved the boat to the bay between White Cay and Fowl Cay. We swung off the boat using the halyard, this time using the spinaker pole to put the halyard out further over the water. Afterwards, Justin and I drove the dingy around the Devil's Cay to find the best beach. Brie did some yoga on the bow. Then, Justin and I towed Jon and Brie in the kayak to Devil's Cay. We walked to the sink hole in the middle of the island, and jumped off the overhang into the sink hole (only after confirming that it was sufficiently deep). We spent the day on the beach, sitting in 2 ft of water and drinking beer. We saw sting rays, reef sharks, fish, and turtles. Justin and Jon made a fire and we roasted hot dogs. Brie and I kayaked back to the boat, while Justin and Jon drove the dingy back. We had salad, cheese, guacamole (made by Brie), and deli meats for dinner. <br />

Early in the morning of May 17th, I did yoga on the bow. It was a beautiful, windy day. Brie and I made avocado and eggs wraps and cut up cantaloupe for breakfast. We pulled up anchor at 9:30 am and had left the bay by 10:00 am. We had 15 to 25 knots of wind (with gusts of 30 knots) and 7 ft swell. We were also sailing into weather. Brie suffered from mild sea sickness. We were anchored on the other side of Salt Cay by dinner time. After dinner, we watched the movie, "Idiocracy."<br />

The next morning, Justin baked sour dough bread. We moved the boat to Atlantis Marina, arriving at 11:00 am. We spent the afternoon exploring Atlantis and trying out all the water slides, including one that entails going through a transparent tube through a shark tank. We ate ice cream and checked out "the Dig" aquarium. We ate dinner at Carmine's Italian restaurant in Marina Village. We ended the day by having a round of beers at the casino and by exploring Atlantis by night. <br />

On the 19th of May, Jon and Brie packed their belongings. Brie and I went Marina Village to pick up some rum cake and Starbucks coffee for breakfast. Jon and Brie got picked up by a taxi at the Marina office at 11:15 am to go to the airport. Justin and I did laundry and got showers. We checked out of Atlantis Marina by 1:00 pm, and we motored over to anchor in Nassau Harbor. We took the dingy to shore at 2:00 pm. I worked on my computer at Starbucks while Justin went to the chandlery to pick up parts to install the bow sprit (Justin had ordered the bow sprit for the new spiniker, and Jon and Brie were kind enough to deliver it to us). We returned to the boat by 4:30 pm for dinner, and we started installing the bow sprit. Afterwards, we watched the movie, "Fool's Gold."<br />

We slept in the next morning. I finished my book. We watched episodes of Bones until 11:00 am. I got ready and sorted photos for the blog for an hour. Afterwards, Justin and I took the dingy into shore. Justin went to the chandlery to purchase an impeller for the macerator pump and parts for mounting the bow sprit. He then returned to the boat to work on the forward head macerator pump, to install the bow sprit, to defrost the freezer, and to repair the cockpit table. I stayed at Starbucks for the afternoon to catch up on the blog and call my family. Justin picked me up with the dingy at 6:00 pm, at which time we came back to the boat for dinner and Bahama Mamas. We watched the movie, "Down Periscope" before going to bed. <br />

On May 21st, Justin and I went to shore in the morning. After checking the weather forecast and enjoying a cup of tea, Justin returned to the boat to finish installing the bow sprit. I updated our blog, and then I picked up groceries. Justin picked me up with the dingy at 3:30 pm. We spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the boat. We met my Uncle Mike at Starbucks at 8:30 pm, and brought his bags to the boat. We went to bed not too long afterwards, because we're leaving early in the morning to go Florida.<br />

As such, we had to watch out for shipping traffic. We saw lots of cargo and cruise ships. Over the passage, we read, played crib, and watched episodes of Bones. We got into the rhythm of Justin taking an afternoon nap one day and myself taking one the next.<br />

Justin and I left Puerto de Vita, Cuba by 3:00 pm on Friday, May 5th. As we were leaving, we saw a tiny row boat with a homemade square sail made out of bed sheets. We had lovely, reaching conditions with 15 to 20 knots of wind. We were moving at 7 to 8 knots with only the jib up. However, we lost the wind during the night, requiring us to motor for half the night.<br />

Justin saw dolphins the next morning. The weather changed from reaching conditions to upwind conditions at 10:00 am. In addition, the wind strength diminished to 5 to 15 knots. On average, the boat did 5 to 7 knots that day.<br />

We were sailing to weather on May 7th, with 2 ft seas and no white caps. We had 6 to 12 knots of wind. The boat was doing 5 knots, but we were only doing 3 to 4 knots on course made good due to our tacking angles. The wind died down in the middle of the night again, and we had to motor.<br />

We approached Bimini at lunch time the following day. We tried to come into Bimini following the channel markers; however, we ran aground on a sandbar. Apparently, the channel had shifted. We found the channel to be on the opposite side of the red channel markers. Justin manned the helm, and I directed Justin (from the bow) towards deeper water and away from coral. We docked at Brown's Marina on North Bimini Island. While Justin cycled to check in with customs and immigration, I called my mom. We cycled to the South end to see the Gallant Lady Shipwreck. We visited the Dolphin House Museum, a home converted into a mosaic using discarded materials. The owner used conch shells, glass, bottles, buoys, tiles, marbles, etc. We had dinner at CJ's Deli, and we walked along the beach. That evening, I updated facebook and the blog.<br />

After sleeping in on May 9th, we cycled to A Little Taste of Heaven Bakery, and we purchased breakfast, fresh bread, and baked goods. We brought breakfast back to the marina so that we could enjoy it on the reclining beach chairs. Afterwards, we cycled to the laundromat. We played cards (crazy eights and diamonds) while we waited for the laundry. Afterwards, we checked out the markets (Justin got a long sleeve, sun safe shirt, and I got a stubby cooler). Then we picked up some local beers at the liquor store to go with my new stubby cooler. We had an early dinner at Big John's. After which, we prepared our boat for departure. We set out for Nassau with plenty of light to make it out the channel. Again, I watched the water depth from the bow and directed Justin through the channel. We had very calm waters, and we were able to sail throughout the night.<br />

We motored the entire next day. As we past the northern section of the Great Bahama Bank, we experienced 5 knots of current for about 2 hours. The tide going out must have caused the bank to shed large amounts of water quickly, which is apparently quite common in the Bahamas. I saw dolphins at sunset. We anchored outside of Nassau beside Salt Cay at 10:30 pm.<br />

We had a lazy morning on the 11th, which included sleeping in and getting in some exercises. We left Salt Cay around 11:00 am and motored into Nassau Harbor via the west side entrance. This means we had to pass under the Paradise Island Bridges, which was nerve wracking to say the least. At the highest point, we should have 9 to 10 ft of clearance; however, there were ships docked in the middle of the harbour, forcing us slightly away from the bridge's center. From the vantage point of the cockpit, it very much appears that there isn't enough clearance even when there is. We anchored in East Bay by all the marinas.<br />

We rarely got to do what we set out to do at the beginning of the day, but we always had fun. There was always more red tape and bureaucracy, but government officials were prompt and efficient. Maybe we had terrible timing, because 3 of the 5 days we were there were holidays, which meant either things were closed or were closing early. We tried to rent a car on multiple days, and no cars were available. We wanted to go to Bioparque Rocazul, but it was closed due to a celebration in the area. We went to restaurants that were serving other guests, but couldn't serve us because they had to close early due to maintenance. A museum didn't have washrooms due to renovations. However, the people were completely charming and would help you organize an alternative, such as ordering a taxi or making a reservation for you at a nearby restaurant instead. There was a distinct feeling of community, and everyone was quick to help another person out. Once we went with the flow, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. <br />

We arrived at Marina Gaviota in Cuba on May 1st. Although we were docked and through customs and immigration by lunch time, we weren't able to start touring Cuba right away. The marina staff told us everything was closed for the day due to a holiday. So we relaxed on the boat for the afternoon. We took showers and did laundry. Anthony put up the shade over the cockpit as it was very hot and very humid. We played cards and chatted. Viv and I took naps. Catherine, Justin, and Anthony walked around Puerto de Vita. Viv and Catherine made pork tocos for dinner. We ended the evening by watching the movie, "Robin Hood, Prince of Theives."<br />

The following morning, I made grilled cheese and eggs sandwices for myself and the boys, and eggs for the girls as they are gluten intolerant. We took a taxi (a classic 50s car) to Guardalavaca. First thing, we went to a bank to get cash out, because everything in Cuba has to be paid for in cash. We swan at the beach. Afterwards, we grabbed a taxi to Aldea Taina, a replicated indigenous village, where we ate lunch and did a guided tour. We also went across the road to Museo Chono de Maita, an archeological site of an indigenous village. Viv made Italian sausages and salad for dinner when we got back to the boat. We played cards games such as Tarot, Cambio, and Crib for the remainder of the night. <br />

On May 3rd, I woke up early to do a workout. We spent the day at Parque Nacional Monumento Barjay, situated outside of Guardalavaca. This is a park that is located where Christopher Columbus landed, and was developed in 1992 for 500th anniversary of his arrival on the island. The park offered us local coconut and coffee. We rode on an ox cart and then toured around the park in a house and buggy. We saw the monument, and then enjoyed a display of indigenous dancing. The restaurant in the park was closing early due to repairs. So instead, we had dinner at a local restaurant, which was actually the back patio of a home. We were the only customers. The food was delicious. When we returned to the boat, and we did a photo exchange. Justin, Anthony, and Catherine jumped off the dock for a swim.<br />

As Anthony, Catherine, and Viv were departing at the end of the day to explore more of Cuba, they had to check out of the marina with customs. Everything was sorted in less than an hour and we left the marina at 9 am. We arrived in Holguin by 10:45. Viv, Catherine, and Anthony picked up bus tickets and then rented a room for the day to have a place to leave their bags and to wait for their bus, which was sceduled to depart at 11 pm. The owners of the room had a sweet dashund, who would come up to the room with us whenever we stopped in. We walked around Hoguin, which is known as the City of Parks. Holguin is not a touristy town per say, but rather a working town that showed off the real Cuba. We purchased ice cream in coffee at a local parlor for about 2 cents Canadian. We started at Central Park, or Parque Calixto Garcia, and we walked a few blocks North and a few blocks South to other parks. Anthony was trying any street food that we came across. At one Pecos (5 cents Canadian), it was a great way to sample multiple local dishes. We ate lunch at 1910 Restaurante, which had full table service and excellent food / drinks for about the same price as fast food in Canada. We checked out the markets, where I bought a leather backpack, and we visited San Jose Cathedral. We finished the day back at the rental room and said our goodbyes to Anthony, Viv, and Catherine. Justin and I took a taxi back to the boat. <br />

On May 5th, Justin and I slept in, and watched episodes of Bones until 9:30 am. Justin made breakfast. We checked out of the marina at 11:30. We swam off front of boat, and then got showers. We prepared the boat for departure. Customs came on board at 2 pm. Again, <br />
Two cocker spaniels came aboard to check for drugs and explosives. We left the marina and navigated out of the channel by 3 pm.<br />

We were sailing downwind with only the jib up in 15 to 30 knots of wind. The boat was moving quickly at 7 to 8 knots. <br />

<br />
The ocean swells were coming at the boat at a 45 to 90 degree angle from the wind, which caused the boat to roll, listing and pitching in all directions. Catherine, Viv, and Anthony suffered from a bit of sea sickness for the first 24 hours. <br />
<br />
I volunteered to make dinner that first night because the boat was rocking quite a bit (which means that the chef gets thrown around while cooking), and because so many were filling ill (which is aggravated by being inside the cabin). So I made butter chicken while the crew stayed above deck.<br />
<br />
We divided the night into 5 watches again, each 3 hours long. Catherine took the first 3 hour shift, which started at 6 pm. Anthony took the 9 pm to 12 am shift. I did 12 am until 3 am. Justin took the next 3 hours. The 6 am until 9 am shift was done by Viv. The remaining 9 hours of the day was alloted informally. <br />

Sunday, April 30th was a very quiet and relaxed day. We played cards (Uno and Cambio). I sorted photos for the blog. I tried to read, but ended up napping instead. Justin made pasta for dinner.<br />

The passage only took 36 hours, over which time we traveled 240 nautical miles. We arrived in Cuba at 3 am, and we had to sail in circles to kill time so that we could arrive when the marina opened.<br />
<br />
On May 1st, we arrived in Puerto de Vita and anchored outside Marina Gaviota at 8:30 am. We played Uno while waiting for the officials to come to the boat.<br />

At 10:30, a boat came out to meet us. Only a doctor came on board "Just Dreamin." He was a doctor of tropical medicine and infectious disease and a professor at the University in Holguin. Apparently, the 1st is a holiday and the doctor had come from a party. He checked everyone out, including taking our temperatures. After he said we were all good to go, we dropped the yellow quarantine flag, and we drove to the dock.<br />

We had to stern tie in. However, there was no buoy this time, meaning that we had to drop anchor, and then back up the boat between two boats in a slip about 18 ft wide. Our boat is 15 ft wide. We also had 15 knots of wind pushing us sideways. This was our first time stern tying off an anchor. <br />
<br />
Justin was at the helm and Anthony was manning the anchor. I was at the stern ready to jump off the boat to the dock if need be to tie off the boat. Viv and Catherine were watching the sides of the boat in case fenders needed to be moved.<br />

Justin took the boat upwind of the slip, and turned the boat so that the stern was facing into the wind. We drifted the boat down parallel to the dock until Anthony signaled that the bow was directly halfway between the two boats. Justin kept the boat in place while Anthony dropped anchor. Then, Justin backed up the boat into the wind by a boat length and turned the boat 90 degrees so that the boat was perpendicular to the wind. By using the wind to push us sideways and by moving the boat backwards and forwards a little at a time, Justin pivoted the boat around the anchor until the boat was positioned in front of our slip. He then backed the boat in between the two boats while Anthony let more chain off for the anchor. I tossed the stern ropes to the marina staff to tie off the boat. Viv and Catherine weren't required to do anything. We didn't even need the fenders. The whole maneuver was executed like clockwork. The harbour master and marina staff clapped when we finished. I was so proud of Justin. <br />

We had to wait on the boat until 3 pm to complete customs. Immigration took another hour. In the meanwhile, we worked on fixing the main sail halyard, which required climbing the mast. We took turns at the top of the mast as one can only sit for short periods comfortably in the harness. First Warwick went up, then Justin, and then Anthony. It wasn't until Mireille climbed the mast that the halyard got fixed. Justin ordered a car, which arrived at 5 pm. We explored the marina and attached resort. We ate dinner at Salt Bar and Grill. We finished the evening by swimming in the pool, drinking a few cocktails, and warming up by a fire.<br />

First thing the next morning, I went to the resort gym. When the marina opened, I dropped off the laundry. Anthony and Mireille kayaked over to the mangroves and then to Iguana Island, which is a national park. Justin and Warwick followed in the dingy not too long afterwards. All five of us piled into the car and visited the Caicos Conch Farm, which was an unique and informative hour long tour. Our tour guide was a biologist, and answers all our nerdy questions. Afterwards, we drove to the beach in the Bight. We had lunch at Somewhere Cafe and Lounge, which was located right on the beach. We threw around Frisbee and snorkeled around Coral Garden Reef, which turned out to be the best snorkeling we've seen in the Caribbean. It's not a large reef and we've definitely been to some reefs that are in more stunning locations, but this reef had the most fish and coral biodiversity. We returned to marina at dinner time. We cooled off in the pool and sipped on some cocktails. Mireille made us a delicious dinner.<br />

Early in the morning of the 26th, Justin and I kayaked through the mangroves and then over to Iguana Island. A national parks guide gave us a short tour, and then we walked around the Island following a trail. Anthony, Mireille, and Warwick met us at the north end of the island. We swam and snorkeled on the beach. We then returned to the boat and drove into Grace Bay to check out the shops. Unfortunately Mireille had an exam the next day, so we dropped her off at the airport. We return to boat for a quick lunch, because Justin, Anthony, Warwick, and I had a flyboarding lesson that afternoon, which was an exhilarating experience. Afterwards, we jumped on water trampoline at the resort beach. We topped the day off with a beer at the pool bar.<br />

The following morning, we caught the passenger ferry to North Caicos Island and we rented a car. We leisurely drove across the island, stopping for coffee and at Flamingo Pond. We crossed the causeway to Middle Caicos Island, where we pulled over to see Indian Cave. We then went to Conch Bar Caves National Park. A tour guide took us through the caves for just over an hour. The caves were filled with bats. We moved on to Mudjin Bar and Grill for lunch, where we sat on the deck and had a great view of Mudjin Harbor and Dragon Cay. After a walk along the beach, we hiked Crossing Place Trail. We didn't have enough time to go to the end and see the blowhole; after 90 minutes of hiking, we had to leave to make it back for the last ferry. We did make one last stop at Cottage Pond on North Caicos on our way back to the ferry. As we were making the 5 minute dingy ride from the ferry back to boat, dark storm clouds came rolling in over the marina bringing lightning and thunder. We made it back just as a few fat rain drops started to fall. Anthony made dinner for us, and we had another early night.<br />

We rented a car on the 28th, and we picked up groceries. Afterwards, we went to Long Bay Hills Beach. Justin, Warwick, and Anthony wanted to kyte board. I sat on the beach under a tree, watched the boys, and read on my kindle. Justin went first. He practiced flying the kyte, did some body drags, and even got up on the board a few times. Warwick coached, and Anthony got a bit of an introduction to kyte boarding. Then, Justin and I had to leave to pick up Viv and Catherine at the airport for 3:30 PM. We left Warwick and Anthony at the beach with the kyte board, a quarter of a watermelon, and 6 beers. We brought Viv and Catherine back to boat to drop off their bags and to change into swim suits. We took Viv and Catherine to the Coral Garden Reef, and we ate dinner at Somewhere Cafe and Lounge. Catherine and Viv did some snorkeling. Justin picked up Warwick and Anthony, and brought them back to the boat. Justin picked up Viv, Katherine, and I up from the Bight. On the way back to the boat, we stopped at grocery store to pick gluten free food for Viv and Catherine. We spent the evening on the boat, talking over mango daiquiris and mojitos.<br />

Justin and I brought Warwick to the airport in the morning. Viv and Catherine kayaked over to the mangroves and Iguana Island. I cleaned the inside of the boat while Anthony and Justin prepared the boat for departure. Viv and Catherine checked out the pool bar and had lunch at the resort. We left Providenciales before 4 PM, again being guided out by the pilot boat as the channel is so shallow.<br />

We ate pizza and chocolate cake as we motored out.<br />
<br />
We divided the night into 3 hr shifts. Anthony took the shift of 6 pm until 9pm. My shift was 9 pm until 12 am. Justin took the next 3 hours. Warwick took the twilight hours of 3 am until 6 am. The last shift of 6 am until 9 am went to Mireille. The remaining 9 hours of daylight was split informally.<br />
<br />
We had 15 to 20 knots of wind for the first 24 hours. The boat was averaging 6 to 6.5 knots with an additional knot of current. The ride was very comfortable for the most part as we were traveling downwind. However, the boat was rocking side to side due to the swells, creating a washing machine motion, which left Warwick, Anthony, and Mireille dealing with upset stomachs.<br />

On the 21st, Justin and I read up on Turks and Caicos to develop a game plan. Warwick introduced us to a new card game called Skip-Bo. I sorted out some photos and did some yoga. The boys played chess. Mireille studied for her anatomy exam.<br />

On the 22nd, Warwick started trolling for fish. Anthony made us bacon and eggs for breakfast. We got up to 32 knots of wind. And for the most part, everyone had gotten over their sea sickness by the end of the day. At the end of Justin's shift, the main halyard broke, and we had to sail with the jib only afterwards. However, we were still traveling at 6.5 to 7 knots. <br />

On the morning of the 23rd, Mireille pulled in a Mahi Mahi, that was about 80 cm long, and let it go before anyone else got to see it, much to the disappointment of Warwick and Anthony. Later in the day, we determined that we couldn't make our port before nightfall, and we would have to drive in circles waiting for the marina to open. Instead, we made anchor just before dinner at the Tiki Hut Anchorage located on the west end of Providenciales. Anthony, Mireille, and Warwick took the kayak to shore to explore the beach and snorkel. Justin and I made dinner. Mireille made mojitos. We finished the night playing cards. Mireille introduced us to the card game called 6 Qui Prend. Everyone got an uninterrupted nights sleep.<br />

Justin and Anthony got the boat underway mid morning on the 24th. We sailed to the Blue Haven Marina, located on the East Coast of Providenciales. Due to the shallow entrance, we needed a pilot boat to guide us into the marina.<br />

We rented a car in Fajardo, and we drove to Luquillo for dinner at Boardriders Restaurant. After dinner, we walked along the Playa Luquillo. Warwick, Justin, Anthony, and Mireille played jousting and cricket with coconuts and bamboo logs. We traveled to Cabezas to find out about the bioluminescent bay of Laguna Grande, but all the excursions were fully booked. So we booked an excursion for the next day.<br />

Justin, Anthony, and I got up early the next day and drove to Arecibo Observatory, which was featured in the James Bond film Goldeneye. It was the world's largest radio telescope up until last year. The telescope was a totally unique and awesome experience. Mireille and Warwick stayed on the boat and caught up on rest. They cleaned the outside of the boat (obviously they are welcome on the boat anytime) and wondered around Fajardo. Justin, Anthony, and I also visited the Parque Nacional las Cavernas del Rio Camuy. We took a trolley down to Cueva Clara ("Daylight Cave"). We saw stalactites and stalagmites in the 170 ft cave. The cave ended with a sinkhole where an underground river emerges. We returned to Fajardo to pick up Mireille and Warwick, and then we went to Cabezas to kayak through a mangrove canal to the bioluminescent bay, Laguna Grande. <br />

On April 20th, all five of us went to customs to check out of Puerto Rico. We then drove to San Juan, and we visited Fuerte San Cristobal. We walked the cobblestone streets of Viejo San Juan, grabbed lunch, and walked to the Cathedral de San Juan and the Puerta de San Juan. We headed back to Fajardo. Warwick dropped Mireille and I off at the grocery store, and then dropped Anthony and Justin off at ferry so they could return to boat and check out of the Marina. While Justin and Anthony prepared the boat for departure, Warwick picked up Mireille and I. We returned the rental car, and brought the groceries back to the boat. After picking up pizza to go, we headed out to Turks and Caicos at sunset. <br />

After meeting up with Mireille and Warwick and getting their bags to the boat, we rented a golf cart to drive around the Island. The golf cart wasn't in the best repair, and we had to hop out of golf cart to push it up hills. It probably wasn't intended to transport five grown human beings either. <br />

We zipped over to Playa Flamenco on the west end, had pizza and beer for lunch, and walked along the beach, where we found some abandoned tanks from 1975. On the way back, we stopped at Playa Tamarindo to see if good for snorkeling. <br />

We ended up exchanging the golf cart for one that didn't required to be pushed. Justin and I returned to the boat. I napped. Justin cleaned the boat. Anthony, Mireille, and Warwick went swimming. When they returned, Mireille made us egg frittatas for dinner and we all went to bed early. <br />
<br />
We left Isla de Culebra mid morning after having french toast and papaya (prepared by Mireille and Warwick) for breakfast. We sailed downwind at 15 to 20 knots, and we made it to mainland Puerto Rico by lunch time. We tried to go to Marina Puerto Chico in Fajardo, but they were full. So, we went to Isleta Marina on an island just off the west coast instead.<br />

Justin, Anthony, Margaret, Mike, and I began the day by hiking up Margaret Hill and Caneel Hill on St John Island. Afterwards, we explored Cruz Bay. We ate lunch at Ocean Grill in Mongoose Junction, who divided their dessert menu into chocolate and non chocolate desserts (which means I only have to read half of the menu, cutting my ordering time in half). After picking up groceries, we returned to boat. Justin and Mike made a delicious dinner.<br />

Margaret and Mike left early the following morning to pick up a rental car. We drove to Trunk Bay and we did the Snorkel Trail. Next, we visited the Annaberg Sugar Mill ruins. We drove around Coral Harbor looking for a place for lunch, and we settled on Shipwreck Landing (the decision was made when we found out they had coffee and a 16 layer chocolate cake). After lunch, we drove to Ram Head, where we checked out the Salt Pond. We hiked Ram Head Trail, which provided us with magnificent views. Lastly, we drove to East End ( a whopping 12.8 miles to cross the entire island from Cruz Bay to East End) and then we returned back to boat for an early night.<br />

On April 13th, Margaret and Mike returned the rental car first thing in the morning, after which we moved the boat to Little Lameshure Bay. Anthony and Margaret went kayaking, snorkeling, and swung off the boat using the halyard. We finished the night by watching True Lies, an oldie but a goodie.<br />

The next morning, Justin, Anthony, Margaret, and Mike hiked to the petroglyphs and an abandoned plantation. I did a workout on the boat. At lunch time, Justin, Anthony, and I took turns swinging off the halyard. We spent the afternoon sailing to St Thomas Island, and we arrived at the Crown Bay Marina just before dinner. Everyone took hot showers and caught up on laundry. We had dinner at the marina, officially celebrating Mike's birthday. We then watched the James Bond film, Goldeneye.<br />

We spent the 15th using the internet to update facebook and the blog. Justin worked on boat batteries, which turned out not to need to be replaced, just charged for a very long time. We left Crown Bay Marina because it was too expensive and we anchored by Hassel Island. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean.<br />

We took dingy into Frenchtown on St Thomas Island the next morning. We walked into Charlotte Amalie and meandered atound some shops. We purchased a hammock and some local paintings. We returned to the boat for lunch. Margaret and Mike packed their bags. We brought their bags to their hotel. We had one last dinner with passion fruit mojitos and mango margaritas at the Green House Pub. We returned to boat. Justin and Anthony prepared the boat so that we can leave for Puerto Rico early in the morning.<br />

<br />
We left Soper's Hole on Tortola Island in the BVIs on a fast ferry and landed in Cruz Bay on St John Island in the USVIs, where we did customs. After Justin got his visa waiver, we got back on the ferry, which took us to Red Hook on St Thomas Island in the USVIs. This is where we hopped off the ferry just to pass in our ticket and then hopped back on the same ferry, which took us back to our boat in Soper's Hole. We arrived back just around 8:30 am. <br />

Justin spent the next day fixing the water maker. So Margaret, Mike, Anthony, and I rented a car to drive around Tortola Island. After walking up Mount Sage, we had lunch. We then drove to Brewers Bay and we walked along the beach. We tried to find Mount Healthy National Park; we found the mill ruins, but we could not find the hiking trail. Afterwards, we drove to Trellis Bay and checked out the full moon party location.<br />

When we woke up on April 6th, we discovered that the voltage of the boat batteries had dropped significantly low during the night. We were concerned about the batteries' ability to hold charge. After charging the batteries, we monitored their voltage while solar panels were generating power and after sun went down. Unfortunately, the batteries were damaged, and had to be replaced. We sailed in 20 knots past Marina Cay to the Northeast Islands off of Tortola Island. We tried to anchor in Lee Bay on Great Camanoe Island, but the bay was too exposed, too windy, and had too much surf to make land. So we anchored in White Bay on Guana Island instead, and we walked along the beach.<br />

When we woke up the next morning, we couldn't raise the anchor. We had to call in a diver to assess the fouled anchor because we were too deep to free dive. It turned out that the anchor chain had wrapped around a displaced mooring block six times. Once the diver freed us from the mooring block, we sailed to Cane Garden Bay. We ate homemade salsa for lunch. In the afternoon, we visited the Callwood Rum Distillery and we purchased some local rum. We finished the day with drinks and dinner on the beach.<br />

Anthony made us bacon and eggs for breakfast on the 8th. We then had a leisurely sail downwind to Sandy Spit. After a walk and a swim at the beach, we moved on to Diamond Cay on Jost Van Dyke, which turned out to be a prime location for sea turtles due to all the sea grass. We walked to Bubbly Pool, where we swam in the crashing waves and climbed the rocks. Justin and Anthony swam with the turtles when we returned to the boat. At the end of the day, Justin, Anthony, and I had drinks and appetizers at Foxy's.<br />

I spent the next day seeking darkness and dealing with the ramifications of too many sugary rum cocktails the night before. Margaret, Mike, Justin, and Anthony hiked the road to Little Harbor while I recovered on the boat. We sailed to White Bay on Jost Van Dyke. Margaret, Mike, Justin, and Anthony went in to see the Soggy Dollar Bar, which was packed. We then sailed to Soper's Hole and anchored for the night. Justin, Anthony, and I took the dingy in to explore Soper's Hole and purchased some supplies. <br />
