Greetings,

Well, we’re back in the boat yard again. We’ve pulled Second Star out of the water to put the new bulbous bow on and, as usual, it’s going to take a little longer than we’d hoped (hope springs eternal). We pulled her Tues morning and were hoping to be going back in the water this evening but, while progress is going very well, it won’t be done by 1700hrs which means we won’t be able to go back in the water until Mon. So we will be bringing in the New Year with a splash (LOL. I crack myself up). The good news is, the new bulbous bow looks great. I think it will do the job even better than the first one.

Happy New Year! Continue to live your dreams…

Christmas tree aboard Second Star

Season’s Greetings,

There’s not much to report about what has been happening lately. Things in Isla Mujeres have been pretty routine. We’re getting ready to make a trip to Cuba after the first of the year. We’ll be going in tandem with another boat the owner of which is married to a Cubana and has spent lots of time there. It will be good to have someone who knows the system to help guide us. We’re really looking forward to the fishing and diving in the unspoiled areas over there.

In the meantime, Capt. Johne is still picking up lots of little jobs around the marina and we’re both getting though project aboard Second Star.

I’ve started taking a yoga class a couple of times a week. It’s good to have the organization of a class to remind me to stretch, focus and breath. The social aspect is nice as well.

We had our winter solstice party last night. It was a fun dock party with lots of interesting people from all over the place. The rain broke things up a little early but a good time was had by all.

I hope all our friends and family are having a wonderful holiday season and that the coming year will bring lots of love and laughter, peace and harmony, and lots of s’s to us all.
