Finally left



Well we were able to do what many others have not been able to do...
That is to sail away from St Thomas! Even though the boat projects list is still long we decided we can do them along the way.
Our first thee weeks away were in a familiar place. We just went an unwound in Jost.  We also had good friends there and the boys were in heaven being able to run around the island with their buds.

My favorite spot to sit






Our friend Zack came down for the weekend and crewed on Ushuaia for Tim's first race. It was Foxy's 40th Wooden Boat Regatta. It was a lot of fun. We somehow even managed to finish fourth in our class. Julia crewed on our friend's boat (Morgan, the man who built Ushuaia) and they got 3rd.







If our big, yellow boat did not look like a school bus before we got to Jost, it did after.  My friend and her four boys joined us five days of cruising. So if you lost count we had 8 kids and 3 adults. It actually was a lot of fun. The kids were busy swinging from halyards, swimming, playing board games and eating!
