So the next adventure of Freebooter and her wily crew has been set... Puerto Rico or Bust!
Having endured the northern latitudes, with the cold summer weather and the warm lovely people, we turn our gaze, and our bow, to the southern latitudes...
The Pirate waters of the Caribbean, beacon the intrepid Freebooter, with blue waters, corals and warm weather. So off south we go, leaving today from the rugged beauty of the natural Port of St John's, Newfoundland (Canada), to the misty netherworld of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) for the first step of our southern run.
The long term plan is to go to New York, sail around the statue of Liberty sail down the east coast of the USA to Fort Lauderdale. That's the quick run, which will give us more time to then head southeast into the Bahamas and ultimately Puerto Rico at a more leisurely (and scenic) pace.
Of course we will be sailing, as usual, the wrong way, against predominate winds and ocean currents, all the way to For Lauderdale, USA, but then again... whats the fun in doing it the "normal" way!
All systems are running and the Blue Peter has been raised, and again St John's brings out the sun for our departure...
