Welcome to our first pre-trip report.  Every available inch of space is filled with food, drinks (20 cases of soda), clothing, safety equipment and emergency supplies and of course, snorkling gear!  We are ready to start the engines and speed (?) out of here after the hours of hard work we have spent on Lady Laura.  The radiator blew on our Blazer yesterday so we are officially one day behind schedule - it should be fixed today.  Yesterday we cleaned the entire outside of the boat and today there are a few items that remain so we will be leaving tomorrow morning - just in time for the rain and cold weather (more of a reason to get as far south as possible).  We sure do miss everyone already and hope that the blue water and white sand will help with that!  Everyone keep your fingers crossed and we will write again real soon.


We painted the boat name on the bottom of the dinghy (our "car" for the trip).

This is our digital satellite system, note the tracking unite it's mounted on.  This was purchased to watch weather reports  (go Skins!!!)
