To the Caribbean

Today we have departed fort Lauderdale, Florida for the Caribbean...first stop the Bahamas. Boat is ship shape and rearing to go. I write this now as we depart for a night crossing of the gulf stream. Conditions are perfect, calm seas and a gentle breeze, hopefully a sign of things to come.
A noteworthy mention is a new addition to our motely crew, the inestimable captain of Bananas, on secondment, and the remaining of our tried member from Plymouth. On a sadder note tbe departure of 2 experienced crew members, one of which was apart of the journey from the very beginning. Alas as quoted "them's that dies are the lucky ones"
