OK, I'm gonna try a new way to do this blog. I am not going to "retro-post" the last 6 months. Instead I am going to tell you that it is March 17, 2018, and Susan and I are aboard Pratique, in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou, Grenada. All is well. OK, just one "retro-post." Here's how we got here:
1. Down the LI Sound, out New York Harbor, down the NJ coast then up the Deleware Bay to Chesapeake City. Thanks to our crew and future OB owner, Robert Mann. Then down the Chesapeake with stops in Annapolis, Galesville, Solomons, Mill Creek, Reedville, Deltaville, Back River, and Hampton VA.
2. Salty Dawg Rally Nov 2017: Great crew of Carl D'Amato, Matt Johnson, and Jeff Sowell to Falmouth, Antigua!

3. Exit Matt, Carl and Jeff. Return Susan. Sail Antigua (Five Islands, Nonsuch, Falmouth, Jolly), Guadeloupe (Deshaies, Ilet du Gosier, St. Francois, and Les Saintes), Martinique (St. Pierre, Fort de France, Trois Ilets, Grande Anse D'Arlet, Petite Anse D'Arlet, Le Marin and Ste. Anne), St. Lucia (Rodney Bay, and Marigot), Bequia, Union Island (Clifton, Frigate I.), then back to Bequia, St. Lucia and Martinique.

4. Back in Martinique, our daughter visits us for a week in Martinique! While we anchored and docked in Anse Mitan we enjoyed Carnival, the Jardin Balata, Anse Saline, Anse D'Arlet, and St. Anne/Marin.

5. Then on Feb 26 Susan and I sailed back to Bequia. Highlight of that leg was catching a 52" Wahoo off St. Lucia! And who can forget the "worst north swells in Admiralty Bay in 40 years." Thank goodness for south facing Friendship Bay!

6. The Southern Grenadines! We made it, and it was worth the wait. You'll have to wait for that, too, because the "I learn to Kiteboard" blog is next!
