Glad you are in & can get some badly needed rest Will wait to hear all about the voyage. Guess you are glad you did not go with the Salty Dogs. Sounds like they are having worse weather than you experienced

Glad you are in the BVI's Safe & sound Sounds like many of the Salty Dawgs had a rough time getting across the stream. How bad was it for you? Guess the northerly quadrent of the wind against the stream must have been rough even though the sea's were still 4 to 6 feet.
Wait to hear Fred ( Wild Oats)
Congrats you guys on your passage. Looks like it was rough for the first 5 days. We watched you every day! Wishing we were there with you. One of the Salty Dawgs that lost their boats were good friends of ours from our marina on Lake Superior. Wings. They left the lake 1 month before we did. They did the Bahamas last year, then did the rally. Lost their engine, and rudder, and the boat is lost. It's all they had. Retired...very nice folks. We are sad for them. A chopper lifted them off the boat.
Happy for you! Stay in touch. Work...sucks. Gotta work to sail......at least we do!
Love,

Hi to the Sailors out to sea! Enjoying the visit with your Mom and look forward of her visit every year at this time making cookies together. Tom is always checking you guys out but he can't type so he still needs me to do it for him! Joanne, and two of her school friends and I are going to a "Tea room" in Curwensville today for lunch. It will be fun. Love you guys and miss you. Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. Aunt Rosemary Be safe......
Paul and Monica,
Just found your blog and absolutely love it! We are fellow Tayana 42 owners (as of Dec 12) We bought it in Annapolis and spent the first cruising season doing "shake down" and getting back to our home port in Portsmouth, NH. We went cruising back in 2001 for a year and since returning to "civilization", have been yearning to go back to the cruising life! We love what you have done with the boat and hope to hear more about some of the "retro fits".
Good luck and if you are ever in New England, give us a holler! Would love to catch up sometime in the future and "swap stories". Until then, keep the stories and photos coming! Our hope is to "jump off" within the next 3-5 years!
Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Sounds like you are both enjoying the warmth of Island Life. It has been very cold & so far we have shoveled snow 5 times (not much each time) Lynn & I go to Cancun on Jan.10 th & return on Feb.27th At least it will be warm while we are there. Wild Oats looks rather sad all covered with tarps sitting at the dock.
Enjoy the Sun Happy New Year Fred
