Marina at Emerald Bay Wednesday, January 26, 2011


Wow, the winds really slackened off last night. The surge was still strong in here but it feels strange to not hear or feel the winds. It feels much hotter without the breeze. Wayne’s working on the generator trying to get it going and I’m trying to update my journal so I can post it before we leave. I don’t know when I’m going to have internet again so I may just post everything while I can. I may have to post my pictures at a later date – we’ll see. I left my camera at the boat and I’m in the upstairs Captain’s lounge drinking hot tea in the air conditioning.

I still have to fill the tanks with water and plot our coordinates into the chart plotter too. What to do, what to do… I’m still not sure of where we’re going. Last night and this morning Wayne and I were talking and it turns out he’d like to see Georgetown after all.

We may be heading to Long Island or Georgetown tomorrow but we will be leaving here tomorrow. I kind of like this little desk.

Wayne came in a bit ago and has me looking up Honda Generator parts on the Internet again. He can’t seem to get it going. We’ve emptied the gas, sprayed carb cleaner and starting fluid but it just won’t run. I noticed that it’s starting to get dark out. Oops!


I still have to fill the tanks with water and plot our coordinates into the chart plotter to Long Island. What to do, what to do… I’m still not sure of where we’re going. Last night and this morning Wayne and I were talking and it turns out he’d like to see Georgetown after all.

We met for one last Captain’s meeting in the Captain’s lounge. Champagne was brought by Azaya and Blue Pearl. It turns out that Blue Pearl will be moving on to Long Island to meet Sid (Quest), Harry and Marijka will be going to Long Island and then moving on towards Puerto Rico if the weather is correct, Azaya will be going to Georgetown and we will too – in search of a generator repair and sail repair.

Marijka brought beautiful blue ornaments for Kolibrie and Azaya from Holland, and I was wishing that we had something uniquely beautiful from Michigan that I could have given to them. I really enjoyed our travel time with them; they are gentle people with beautiful souls. It was hard to think of parting with them and very difficult not to head to Long Island with Pam & Glen. I was so hoping to be able to share this segment with Blue Pearl and Azaya, and had gotten quite used to traveling with Aurora.

  1. It was great to meet up with you at Emerald Bay. We are looking forward to our next Rendezvous! Maybe south of the Tropic of Cancer??
