Greetings,
Last night we went into Trinidad. The hotel by the marina in Casilda no longer has internet so we couldn’t check on the outside world until we got up to Trinidad where there’s an internet store. After we checked in online we went to our favorite bar where the band we got to know the last time we were here plays. They were there and we got to visit with them for quite a while and listen to a set. We were the only ones there for a lot of the time and they just sat around the table with us and played a little just for us. It’s times like these that are what this life is all about. Priceless!

While I was writing the last entry, our friend Danny from Bahia Tortuga on Isla Mujeres, who had been planning to come see us here with his wife Ronda, walked up to the boat. Ronda has been under the weather so we weren’t sure if they were coming. As it turns out, Danny came alone (he really needed a break from work). We’ve come out to Cayo Blanco and anchored. The weather has been a bit rainy, not great for snorkeling, but fresh and cool.
Right now Johne and Danny are in the process of replacing an O-ring in the water maker (because you can’t go too many days in a row without taking the water maker apart. You might get out of practice). It started leaking again last night, at the other end this time, even running at lower pressure. It should be back together and running again in no time.
Hopefully the weather will clear and we’ll be able to get in some snorkeling before Danny has to go back. But I don’t know, today’s looking pretty blustery.

The fishing boat we meet here in Feb just stopped by. They brought us more lobsters and told us they would see us at Cayo Ingles in a few days. Fun to see them again.

This began many years ago for Johne. Somewhere along the way, he decided that someday he would have a boat and sail around the world. Through the years bits and pieces of the dream have changed, but the one thing that has remained the same was the desire to see the world from the deck of a boat. In July of 2000 the opportunity presented itself. Johne found a boat in Florida that was literally a "fire sale." The galley had caught fire and destroyed the housing, but the potential was there. Johne and Susie made the leap. They bought the boat and moved from Reno, NV to Ft. Myers, FL. Immediately they began the process of tearing down the old and rebuilding the new. By December of that year, all that was left, was a good, solid hull. For the past several years, Johne has build Second Star almost entirely by hand. Built with love and fueled by desire. Now that the construction has nearly reached completion we would like to share our dream with you. Please join us as we head out for the adventure of a lifetime.
What's in a name? It is supposed to be bad luck to rename a boat. In this case, however, the old boat died, and a new boat has reemerged from the ashes. "Second Star" comes from a quote, "second on the right and straight to morning." Recognize it? It is Peter Pan's directions to Neverland.
