Decision Time


For those of you who have been following us since we left Charleston, SC back in January, you know that our goal was South America (to see our two sons).  Life, as you know, is constantly changing and the two sons that have been in South America for a while (one 3 years and the other almost a year) have decided it is time for them to leave South America.  One is heading back to the states and the other is heading to China to teach English.   That along with just about every cruiser we’ve spoken with having said it is not really wise to be near Venezuela and some other concerns.  Our native Colombian daughter-in-law called me one day and said, “Carla, you cannot go to Venezuela – they hate Americans.  It is too dangerous.”  So you will now realize from the blog entries that we are now heading back towards the Bahamas/US area (still undecided).  It was decision time – spend hurricane season in Grenada or Bahamas.  We picked the Bahamas and are heading that way.

  1. Have loved all your blogs, but I think you are making a good decision. Stay safe and enjoy the Bahamas! Gary

  2. Florida keys offers more shelter most times during hurricane season and it would only be a few nautical miles further should a direct hurricane happen in the Bahamas.
