Our amazing Australian friends, Jeff and Sandra, have just settled their beautiful boat for a little respite. They will move aboard Maple on Sunday for as long as it takes for us to cross the big blue to Barbados. We are so fortunate to have them as crew for the crossing. Super excited to get more sleep!!!
We have all of our grocery provisions on board and will do our fruit and veg purchase on Monday. All the lockers and bilges are completely full so it will be fun to find room for the fresh food. Maple is already sitting very low on her water line.
If you are interested in following us while we are out there, we will send position updates via our SSB radio when we can. We will try to connect regularly but can't guarantee how often we will be able to update our position. Don't panic if you don't see any change in our position for a few days. To follow our route, you can find us at this link:
We believe we might leave on Wednesday, January 11th if the forecast holds up. We are excited to get under way and are looking forward to warm waters again and of course the rum!!!
