Well, it has been another week since my last post and still no excuse!

We have been busy and yet enjoying ourselves. Last Wednesday we had happy hour aboard CS'ta Time with Jeff and Janet, a couple from Halifax we first met in Florida on the ICW. They have similar plans to ours, making their way back to Canada this winter and arriving home sometime around July. Although they have started their way north already, I am sure our paths will cross again. We then went out for supper with them and two other couples.

Jorge has regained some of his energy and strength to the point that he took the bimini and dodger off the boat, cleaned and reinstalled them, then "painted" waterproofing on them. He also worked a bit on the autopilot and raw water pump for the engine, all in preparation for the trip back north. I was the executive assistant, aka "the gopher", passing tools, lights, paint, (beer) etc.

Last night we went out for dinner with Dave (his treat) to an Italian restaurant that was really good. He has been kind enough to agree to watch over CS'ta Time while we are in Canada as he is only two slips away from us in GYC. That gives us a bit more piece of mind.

Believe it or not, we are actually looking forward to some "cooler" weather when we are in Canada for the next two weeks! Boy, it has been hot here, 31.4C inside the boat today with very little breeze, sunny and no rain for the past couple of days. The winter clothes are all washed, suitcases aired out and shoes tried on (that was difficult after a year in flip flops!)

Theere will be no posts while we are in Canada. We are returning to Grenada on Nov 15 with very good friends from Barrie who will be staying a week here. We have a busy itinerary planned for them, providing the weather is not too hot. We may end up poolside at their resort! So until then . . . chau!

P.S. The camera gave up on us this week! I guess buying a new one while in Canada will be added to the "to do list".
