Everything you and David write in your blogs we experienced during our Gulf crossings and the Keys. (Even on a brand new Caliber we had a failed autopilot in the middle of the Gulf.) Pretty soon you will not think twice about dropping the hook in a crowded anchorage. If you need any help with Caliber knowledge, just let us know. If James does not know the answer, we can always contact Kathy or George at Caliber for you. They are very responsive and like to know how their boats are doing and where they are going. Have fun out there. Carol Dana, It’s so great to follow along with you on your trip. Everything you and David write in your blogs we experienced during our Gulf crossings and the Keys.

David did say that a lot. Now the throttle thing has moved up to the top of the list! Walter,

All you needed was the passports and boat documentation. We had to fill out individual paperwork that took 2 minutes. It was painless. Dana Amgine,

That is great! And I am so glad your moms' pitched in for the new "spot"! Tell them "thanks" for me. I look forward to watching you guys! Sounds like lots of work with heavy play afterward. Is Sam the designated driver? We will be in Cozumel on the 28th of Dec. Want to meet us? Just teasing of course, but we are looking forward to warmer weather. Been cold out here. No questions really, just enjoying all the pics and blogs. Take care and we look forward to more news! :) Can’t believe you are in the Bahamas! That is great!

I'm quite envious, stuck here in the Pacific Northwest for at least another year before I can even hope to migrate south to warm water for the winter... I've only been to the Bahamas once, and then on a cruise ship. I understand the clearing-in process is one of the best according to US sailors, but what all is involved? What paperwork did they require? Sounds wonderful, if exciting!
