Goodbye Grenada, Hello Bonaire!‏ (December 19, 2009 3:56:36 AM)

Hi Everyone!

Well, we are finally off! We are leaving Grenada at around noon today. We are presently anchored out in the bay in front of St. George's. We are coming in this morning for fuel, water, and Greg has to clear out at customs and pick up our firearms.

We are very excited and more than ready. But, and this is a big but, we are so going to miss all our friends at Port Louis, and those that have already sailed north! It was a pleasure getting to know you all, and spending time together. What great times we had! We wish you all fair weather, safe sailing, and hope to see you again sometime!

We will email as soon as we can upon our arrival in Kralendijk, which is the capital of Bonaire. That is where we will be mooring, for about a month or so. We will arrive there sometime in the morning of Monday, December 21st. It is approx. a two and a half day trip, we are travelling almost straight west from Grenada, just above 12 degrees longitude. Our freezer is full of stew, soup and Christmas baking for the trip. The weather looks excellent, with the wind ESE and the current behind us, we should make good time. Winds are forecasted at between 10-15 knots. It all looks good!

Adios and Hasta la Vista from the Dutch Dreamers
