Photos

It is Sunday and we have just returned from the SuperMax market with all kinds of goodies!  What fun we had!  I am sending some pics to match up with my quite boring descriptions of our latest adventures with Sidewinder. At least you will be able to enjoy some of the wonderful people we have been fortunate to meet. The first few photos are the working scene which surrounds us. We had a great barbecue a week ago and what a feast we had! The silly guy with the great personality is Lauri, our Finnish friend, and his wife, Aninna, was just as special. Josie and Steve are from England and have been cruising for 12 years;  they certainly have learned to enjoy this life! Marc and Sylvia just left to go back home to Germany and work while their vessel, Rachel III, is having work done on her. Three Spaniards from Mallorca just arrived a week ago and their beautiful yacht is now parked next to us. Lauri adopted a marine family of cats and now they are mine to feed; I just can't tell you how difficult that is for me!  Saying good-bye to Lauri and Aninna was a bit sad, but it is the part of cruising that just is the way it is. Perhaps we will find them in Australia where they will settle and start a family.  Life is good!

Hi guys,

Wow its lovely to see you both back "home" with sweet Sidewinder. We just got to the Bahamas two days ago and are now in Great Inagua, way to the south of the chain. Richard has had a possible job offer training horses in Abu Dahbi and we are on our way to Clarence Town so that he can fly off there for an interview. It might save our bacon and give us some cushion for a couple of years. Keep your fingers crossed that it all works out.
When do you set sail again?
Keep in touch and keep writing your lovely blog so that we can see more pics.

Much love, Virginia XXX
