It's hard to believe that we have been here in the Sea of Abaco for three months, but it is time to move on. It has been a wonderful place to spend the winter with beautiful sights and fine weather.

But what has made it really memorable has been meeting new people and hopefully making a few lasting friendships. That made it possible to get over a few early setbacks and put them behind us, and thanks to Alan and Gerri on CIVIL TWILIGHT for their help and friendship during that period and all the fun after that.

The winter here also gave Maggie and I a good sense of what our new lifestyle - the cruising life - is all about, and we love it. Exploring a new country, meeting new people,overcoming challenges and having new experiences IS what is all about. There is also a bittersweet aspect to this lifestyle, too. Eventually, if you want to keep having new experiences, you have to say "good bye" to all the things you liked or, at least say "until next time".

The other thing that we really enjoyed was spending time with our old friends that came to visit. Not only does it renew exiting friendships, but we can share the experience with them and refresh our appreciation of the experience through their eyes. We will always encourage our friends to visit for those reasons - both old and new friends.

Over the next few days we will cross the Gulf Stream and go back to Ft. Pierce to do a little work and prepare for the first passage to Bermuda in May. Stay tuned as we report on our progress.
