Moving forward…

P1010114 1830 “Do you like it hot hot hot?!?! Can you feel it hot hot hot.” It is HOT in Road Town, Tortola tonight as I sit here one last time at the Bakery. Next stop: DOMINICA! 250 miles…2 days plus 2 nights and we pray for a safe passage. To dwell on the past - not productive….to think about the future –exciting yet not necessary… to be here…right NOW…priceless! A surreal departure yesterday. 150 days equals 3600 hours all on 38 feet. It has that kind of effect on you. To think about the shared moments…the laughing…the crying, the bumping it down to “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” whilst watching the sunset. With the St. John Tarantulas a long way away sleep well Stevey and see you oh so soon with cheeseburgers, diet cokes, and ice cream!!!!

We love you.

P1010113 Here is Byron. If you thought Jordi and I had energy… well this guy leaves us both asking “what the ?????” Enthusiastic, willing to learn, not AWOL yet and truly appearing to sincerely enjoy every minute of it thus far. Team Audax is ready.

But first we went down, down, down. Wasting no time whilst still here we dove today on the RMS Rhone shipwreck in search of sunken treasure to fund our last leg. Empty handed materially, but full to the brim P4230008 soulfully we provisioned, we changed the oil, switched out an alternator belt, FOUND THE LEAK, and now we look forward to the arrival of Jordi’s brother Nat this evening. Tomorrow we will awake and for goodness sake finally leave the BVI’s in an Audax wake!

A truly heartfelt thank you to all who have made our experience in the Virgin Islands Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious!!!!!

    Great photo montage and blogs by John and Steve (your last one was great, too, Jordi!)
    Have fun on the cruise to Domineca - don’t forget if you make it to Roseau (?sp) - look up Billy Smiths (Sydney’s husband) brother or any family -

    Hey John and crew,

    Congrats on what appears to be a fabulous season of cruising! Enjoy Dominica - are you headed to Bequia/Grenadines? If you are going to St. Vincent, you might want to check on noonsite.com for any warnings to cruisers there. I am back from a hairy but exciting trip around South Africa. Hope to see you back here on the Maine coast this summer. Stay safe, Linda Irving
