I Wish...

Post by John Stone »

I wish I were enroute to the Caribbean right now. This time a year ago I was about 200 miles north of the Virgin Islands sailing 180. It's going to be a long winter....

Here is a photo as I was about to leave Beaufort for the USVI on 3 Dec 2021. I wish....

Nice photo. I'm struck by how the trees have full leaves on December 3rd. In PA our trees have all lost there leaves by then.

Those aren't deciduous. They are some kind of scrub evergreen. All our hardwoods have lost their leaves.

Nice pics. It’ll be interesting to see how you like your new furling yankee setup.

Jim. Not a Yankee but a 100 percent. I'm very interested too.
