Preparations!



Don & Gwen in Vanuatu days

 
 
Heads up, friends, The Two Captains are headed back to de islands.... well at least for five weeks.

Our friends Tom and Bette Lee of the wonderful St. Francis 50 catamaran Quantum Leap (See our Sail Indonesia Blog http://2csinindonesia.blogspot.com) have invited us back aboard for a trip up the island chain from St. Lucia to the Bahamas.  We'll start by revisiting several familiar islands - on the itinerary is St. Lucia, Martinique, Antigua, and the BVI (Home!) -- and then onto new territory for us Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos, and Bahamas. 

Quantum Leap in the Komodos

It'll be a relatively fast trip, done more at the speed we did Indonesia rather than the leisurely meandering we've practiced elsewhere on our own, but of course Quantum Leap is also a much faster boat!

Not sure if I'll be able to get this blog linked up with our tried and true website www.thetwocaptains.com before our departure (Our webmaster is cruising Micronesia;  not sure what her access to Internet is!), but for now I will just send you by email the direct link on www.blogger.com



We are in the throes of last minute preparations.  Our cases are filling up with snorkel gear, spare parts, more shorts, bathing suits and sarongs.  And decaf Java Planet coffee!
