Dec 1-3: planned departure from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea to Marathon, Florida (Florida Keys). Anchoring for the night around Rodriguez Key. abt 125 NM.
Jan 4-Jan ?, 2014: left Marathon Marina on the 4th; sailed off on the 5th to Spanish Wells; waiting for a cold front to pass & a good weather window to continue on to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas & St Croix) for a few days of rest. Then it will be onwards to St Lucia.
as of July 2, 2014 -- I haven't kept us with this page, but basically we left for a passage to St Lucia thereafter. Then we island hopped to the Grenadines and Petite Martinique, then back up to St Lucia, and worked our way up most of the islands (but not all) to the BVI. From there, we did a 5-day passage to Turks & Caicos. Since then, we are island hopping again in the Bahamas with the Abacos in mind as a final destination. From there we will do a week-passage straight to Maryland - weather permitting probably end of July 2014.
