We have been going back and forth between Staniel Cay and Black Point with a group of friends because of weather.

Latest word from Chris Parker (or weather man) is we can leave Nassau on Wednesday and head back across the Gulf Stream to the states. We will go as far as we can and that might be 5 days to get us as far up the states as we can. We have to be at a place where we can check back into the US upon our arrival. We will have about 5 different cuts that we should be able to duck into if the weather should be forecast as a change and not good.

This has been an interesting year for both of us. We have gone to places that we have not gone to before, met so many different people, traveled with a few and continue to marvel at the beautiful clear blue water. The water changes color with depth so is easy to read to travel through it.

Our plans are to be back in VA for doctor appointments first part of May and in Annapolis but May 23. The renter moves out the 26 so if any of you have nothing to do we would love to spend time with you do some clean up, improving, yard work and sorting, sounds like fun!! We would love to have the house on the market in July and hope it sells fast.

Bo has so much on his plate this summer with editing for his project, making all new canvass and repairs on the boat don't know he will have any fun this summer. Seems like a few more things need repairs on the boat than any year. The boat is now 9 years old, does not seem possible.

Bo has all his big saws from remodeling the house to my family oak furniture to decide what to do with. We will see almost all his tools and must decide on what family furniture we want to keep as we will have to pay for storage and that can be costly. Lots of decissions need to be made this year.

Thank you so much for following another incredible year of our travels and hopefully next year some of you sill be able to join us again.

I will send pictures when we get back to the states as our time is running out on our Bahamian phone.

Bless each one of you and thank you for being a part of our journey.
