We pulled out the Planning Chart a few days ago, just to make sure Cuba was where we left it. And we decided that it would add too many more miles to the trip. So Cuba and the Greater Antilles will have to wait for another time.
We will go back through a few different places, some old favorites and hopefully lotsa sea miles so we can put bigger chunks of mileage under the keel.

Georgetown, Exuma Bahamas
So! I have not made a post in a lo-o-ong time. It's because my camera croaked and even I don't like to read blog posts with no pictures. I hope this very short post will satisfy;
The cruise has gone well so far. Two sets of freinds have joined us for a time, and now it's just the two of us. It was always really great to have extra bodies around to share the work and extra brains and psychies to converse with. It was fun.
Jim calculated we have come around two thousand miles from Nova Scotia, that's already a good long cruise! So even if we turn around now, it's been great! But we will press on towards Cuba. Another cruiser asked why Cuba was so appealing, why did we want to go there? It took a minute to form a good answer (but I think it was taken), ...because it's there! And March is the time, so off we will go. Then I might tell you if it was worth it. Incidentally, it is only a long day-sail to cross from the bottom of the Bahamas to Bahia de Vita, Cuba.
We have done a lot of fishing, a little catching & eating, some snorkling and lots of swimming. Apparently the fishing & lobster catching is even better in Cuba, we'll see if Jan & Cam have left us any!
If I find any wifi in Cuba, I'll letcha know how the crossing went!
