Wrapped up and ready to go

We had our Customs inspection today and all paperwork is in order and we are free to go. We are back at Trevor's BB and packed up to leave around 11:00 am for the airport. We sat last evening reflecting on the great season we had. Although some things gave us some trouble ...davits, instruments,dinghy etc....all were or will be resolved and we worked around them. We had a great time with Dawn and Laurie on Cat Tales and they helped us get along when our instruments failed. The dighy got resolved rather quickly. S/V Chill helped us with a raft up in Bequia when we needed power to fix the fridge. So many people we met along the way were a source of friendship and knowledge. When people ask what island do you like and what was a high light we always answer .... the people we have met. From the ladies lunch .....a great group of women who offer support for each other to the kind people at Island Water World. Ian who loaned us a propane tank for the whole season when our brand new one got recalled and the replacement didn't fit our locker. Until he found us a new one he loaned us one from his home. Then there is Denis who provides the weather every morning on the SSB radio. The boats who hear check in each day on their travels and then they show up where you are. You stop off at their boat introduce yourself as FOD ( friends of Denis) member and you now know more new people. I know this all sounds kind of sappy but what a great group of people that call themselves cruisers.
