In "latts an Atts" last year there was an lengthy article written by a cruising couple that had been boarded by pirates in Gautemala (sp?) and how a nearby boat  didn't fair as well with the captain being murdered. I ended up meeting them and sharing several glass's of wine. Interesting conversation. They didn't resist...they are still cruiing. He did....he's buried. They had tons of advice on the Carribean.
  I am not posting this to stir "that" debate...but simply to once again state it truly is the people you meet  'out there'  that make it so interesting. Everyone shares advice, stories and favorite places. Every year it is the new people such as this couple and the young couple that sailed in from France, as well as the arrival of old familiar friends you are so glad to see that make cruising fun.

Hi Frank, Enjoying your entries and photos.

It really is inspiring to see you (and others) actually out there and doing it, and be able to follow along, especially from here in the frozen North.   

CaptMac, it was quite a visual contrast to come upon your snow-covered boat amid these colorful Bahamas photos! (Unfortunately my world also looks a lot like this.)

Frank, your inviting him to "dust that snow off, trailer South and get over here" is so compelling--especially from someone who is living it.

Looking forward to more entries and photos, and also viewing snow scenes from a similar distance [sometime in the future]. Grog to you.

Frank -

Is the sailFar Island Clubhouse you've been building down there finished yet? If not, how's progress, and - when are we to start showing up?

Don't forget to stock the bar and fridge and the bar.

;D

PS - Nice picture of the 'scallops on the hoof'... ;)

Wow,

  You build houses about like you restore boats!  That is nothing short of amazing, especially considering WHERE you are doing it!

I enjoyed the pictures of the ray.  Wonder if it is the same one?
Satisfaction is wanting what you already have.

Craig....it is a lesson in patience, frustrating as all....but will be worth it in the end. Getting stuff to Green Turtle is hard, then up to Manjack harder.

Your all welcome. Good anchorage out back in anything but a SW.

Better bring a good, no GREAT anchor. Been blowing hard lately with front after front. Calling for 40 knts tonight. Good news is you don't have to shovel it  ;D
