Well, it's been a busy time getting Dance Aweigh ready
for cruising the Western Caribbean.
Had to replace the diesel tank & main water tank
among other things.
Here’s how it looked with the generator in the salon.
But now we're ready to go!
If the weather cooperates, the queen & I will take off from Marco
tomorrow, Friday Jan 31, 2014
and sail direct to Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
400 plus nautical miles.
Expect to arrive Tuesday morning, Feb. 4.
New carpet, new cushions & the queen's ready to roll!

As we did previously, we'll send position reports through our ham radio.

ReplyDeleteOh, just a word on the massive amount of "Importada" paperwork required to enter the Mexico: Word I got is that they're trying to keep Illegal U.S. Immigrants out of The country. Crazy eh?
Hmmm ... I need to think about that some more.
