It’s Monday morning and I am back at our “land home” in CT. \u00a0While I have only been home for a it more than 24 hours, plenty has happened in planning our “escape” to the warm weather of the Bahamas after enjoying Christmas with our family and Pandora is on the hard for a few repairs\/modifications in preparation for her winter with me and Brenda. \u00a0Fortunately, there isn’t too much to do, I hope and she should be ready to go when we rejoin her in late December.<\/p>\n

I have certainly gone on and on about what transpired on our run and why I decided to divert from our run to the BVI and take Pandora to Ft Pierce FL instead. \u00a0I’d say that a winter in the Bahamas isn’t something to be sad about and there’s always next year for a second attempt to sail to the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Not a bad place to visit. \u00a0This was Pandora before she was Pandora when we cruised with her prior owners in the Bahamas a few years ago. \u00a0It will be fun to be there again with her soon. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>I thought that it would be fun to include a shot of our route as we made our run across the Gulf Stream and back for a stop in Beaufort NC. \u00a0From there my crew Jim and I ran Pandora down to Florida. \u00a0 All and all, a satisfactory “shakedown cruise” aboard Pandora.<\/p>\n

You can see our “loop” as we headed out and, oops, turned back. \u00a0 As a point of interest, the “spots” were automatic at a predetermined interval, so you can see how our speed varied from time to time.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>I guess that’s all for now. Time to clean up the yard from all the leaves that fell while I was horsing around afloat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
