A Gathering of Ws

Treasure Cay, Abacos

We talked to our daughter Jennifer on Skype yesterday. She said that we have turned into social butterflies. I guess it's true. We have been hanging out with and having supper with new found friends Russ & Pat on the W42 Consort, and Dave & Wendy on the W42 Elysium. In addition, we met Dave & Carol on New Horizon. The Pahls turn out to be from Pashley Road in Glenville, NY. That is just a few miles from our last house in West Charlton, NY.

In addition, Richard & Penny on the W42 and another the W32 Alice are nearby. That makes 5 Westsails. That's nearly enough to call it a Westsail Rendezvous which would be an excuse for further partying.

We were going to go to a beach party in Marsh Harbor tomorrow, but after heraing today's weather report I think we might change our minds. Tomorrow sounds like the best day to go through The Wale northward. When we do that, it will mark the beginning of our spring northward migration for 2009.

I just read that there will be big quadricennial celebrations in New York this year, all the way from NYC to Plattsburg. Uh Oh. That is the kind of thing we normally avoid. It could mean hoards of event boats and no place for regular cruisers.
