Parting Company...Chapter 2

Eric all packed and waiting for the taxi

Sunday, May 9, 2010. Eric returned home today after helping us with a wonderful cruise from Green Cove Springs, FL to Provo. We thank him for his good company and patience helping two senior citizens trying to learn how to do it right. Sea Glass has not yet continued on her journey as we are waiting for a favorable weather window. We are also waiting for Travis to join us on Tuesday. He will be fine-tuning the electronics as we continue our cruise to the BVIs. As we wait, we take care of household maintenance and enjoy the tropical sun and breezes. Cell service and intermittent Internet are available so we also get the opportunity to catch up on news from home and extend long distance Mothers Day wishes. Tomorrow, we explore the island and hopefully report back on points of interest. There are supposed to be some beautiful beaches and state parks not too far from here - well, I guess on a 38 square-mile island, NOTHING is particularly far. But we’ll find out.


Sea Glass tucked in to wait out the weather

Monday, May 10, 2010. We heard from our weather router, Chris Parker, this morning. The news is that we should plan to stay in place for one week unless we want to deal with 10-12’ swells. We don't. So we rented a car for the week and are practicing driving on the wrong side of the road. I can think of worse places to get stranded.
