The New Blog - Finally

When the Salida log ended it was in May of 2007. Now it is January of 2008. Here is a quick update of our travels in the last 8 months.

We have been traveling off and on with several boats - Fred & Kathy on Makai, Steve & Anne on Fine Line, Jim & Roxanne on Dawn Dancer and Dan, Carla, Tess and Tristan on Alegria. We all are heading South down the Eastern Caribbean to Grenada where we will spend the hurricane season - July thru November. We go our own way and then meet up at the next island or the one after. We have met tons of great people on all different kinds of boats from many different countries. It is really fun after a long sail to come into a new harbour and have people you know already there. There are some pretty fun reunions.

The dinghies await the snorkelers, Tobago Cays - see - it is not always drinking and dancing! There were about 8 of us - some of the best snorkeling ever.

From the Sunset Bar in St. Martin, you can almost reach up and touch the airplanes landing and taking off. If you are standing on the beach when a plane takes off the jet blast will knock you down.
When we left St. Martin we sailed down to Saba.
