Busy, busy, busy

A wise man (my father) sums this up this way...
"When we go sailing, we trade the quantity of our decisions for the quality of our decisions.  At sea we have fewer decisions to make and they are more important to us..."  Sounds simple, doesn't it?  But when i get to shore, the quantity can almost overwhelm me.  Thus anchorages and places beyond the reach of the internet are much more relaxing.  Still, the internet makes the cruising life simpler in terms of managing life ashore from a distance:  i don't have to assign someone to take care of my bank account and bills and mail while i'm gone, etc...  But the thing that's worse than no connection...is a bad connection.  And lots of internet connections here are sketchy.  Can be frustrating/time consuming.

But busy i am.  So i'll have to tell you later about the Grenada and its Grenadines - which we have enjoyed thoroughly.  Sorry about this.  I'll try to catch up.

The previous crew has departed, the new crew is here and oriented, we've provisioned, i've checked out of customs and immigration...we'll anchor tonight and head for Bonaire first thing in the morning.   I'm in sailmail dialog with the next crew, tryin' to figure out our rendezvous.  The forecast is with us...  I'm hoping a sailmaker there will "tune-up" the jib for me.
Good luck to us ALL,
