More Crew

Greetings,

          Well, our Second Star family continues to grow. Our friend Janet, who is a professional musician we know from St Thomas, has come to spend an undetermined amount of time traveling with us. She used to live aboard a boat and missed the lifestyle. She’s brought her guitar so we’ll be singing our way westward.

          The last parts we’ve been waiting for came today so, if all goes well with installation, we’re hoping to be on the move again this Sunday. We’ll be making several more stops in Dominican Republic and then a couple in Haiti. I’m looking forward to having more adventures to report, and to seeing how our new crew members blend into our life. So far it’s going great. Alexis is learning a lot and working hard. Janet is a big help in the galley and with any projects I need or want a hand with. Alexis still goes home at night but as of Saturday he’ll be move aboard. (Is this boat getting smaller?)

         

I’ve had to do a bit of rearranging and purging so that neither the VIP nor the fore peak is a big storage area. Usually one, the other or both are piled with what-do-we-do-with-this stuff. We’ve pawned some stuff off on Alexis’s family and, whatever they can’t use or don’t want, they can sell, donate or throw away, as they see fit. Hopefully most of it will go to better use than when it was stuffed under our berths.

Until the next report…
