Planning for 2009


This is just a short blog about our planning to visit Magus for 6 weeks in 2009; that will be from February 20 to April 2. We'll be flying into Ponce and renting a car for a week while we get things ready to go for some travelling. We're also bringing Tigerlilly, our French waterdog; so that will be interesting with customs and clearance and everything.

After that first week, we are going to go around to Fajardo and Culebra, where we will meet up with daughter Sophi and her boyfriend Travis for just a couple of days. Then we will be working east through the US Virgins and the Brittish Virgins. Hopefully, we'll have the time and good enough weather to do an overnight trip to St. Martin, and then it's an easy trip to St. Barts. And then downwind back to St. John or Culebra or similar.


There's plenty more that I could say about all the things we are doing to get ready to go, including mailing stuff down to our friends in Puerto Rico, getting charts, etc... Also, the new mainsail was sent down a month or more ago.





Now we'll see what we really do once we get there, and if we make it as far as St. Barts or not.
