"Safe" and Sound back on land
Yesterday morning we left Saba Rock and set sail for a group of islands called "The Dogs" for some great snorkeling. We had a fun little adventure trying to unhinge the boat from being stuck sideways on the buoy, but we prevailed. After lunch, we set sail again for Cooper Island, where we got even more great snorkeling in. All in all, another great day of sailing (including some wing-on-wing action!). One last round of painkillers at Cooper Island Beach Club and then ...

Plan is to go to a 14 days ...
Just like a picture
... rice, salad, plantains and veggies.
I have watch tomorrow and then we are to leave the next morning for Bermuda. No word on how long that will take but I'm guessing about 5 to 6 days. The weather has not been condusive to good sailing - very light to no winds so we've been motoring a lot. The adventure is almost over. Bermuda and then Lunenburg ...
