Time Out

Many apologies for the lack of blog updates.  A series of technical difficulties, culminating in the complete loss of function of the laptop space bar, have made blogging more difficult.  That said, we also just had a lovely visit with my parents on Harbour Island.  Much merriment was had by all- eating, drinking, beach-bumming- so writing was clearly not a priority when any free time and wifi was available.

The end of the holidays signifies a change in approach and priorities for our adventure, however.  Since leaving Seven Seas marina in October, our clear goal was to make it to Eleuthera by Christmas.  Our traveling approach will now change to moving according to the wind and our will.  Our desire to visit new coral reefs or see a new island will become our new goals.  Our attention is also now shifting toward adventure: Chapter 2.  Our boat and budget are only large enough to sustain us through the Exuma islands, after which we will be deciding what is to come next.  Pull anchor or try to continue?  We love the water, cruising and traveling, but always knew that we would have to go back to "real life" at some point.  As I write this, Cyrus and Tyler are riding in a fellow cruiser's dinghy- playing in the harbor.  How will we retain and implement the lessons we have learned through this adventure?  How will we continue to make joy, play, nature and living in the moment a part of each day?

I will post more about our journey through Devil's Backbone and Harbour Island before we move out of wifi range.
