We made it to Faraway after a complicated trip that entailed sending the chart plotter and a few other boat parts ahead to Miami, program our luggage so that we could put the contents of the boxes that we had shipped ahead in our luggage in Miami, and packing for work and play. On the 18th we set off to Cancun, where although I was working we had a good time.Then on to Miami for a night for me (I flew the next morning to Ft. Worth for two days) while Juan waited for me in Miami, and then yesterday I managed to finish work at midday, rush to the airport, get on a flight to Miami - which was delayed for an hour and I was having fits - and then meet Juan with our luggage at the airport and check in at Bahamas Air. We had to sleep in Nassau and then at 9 this morning we took off to Providenciales. We were picked up at the airport by Simon, the marina manager, and met up again with Faraway. It was looking almost as nice as when we left it, two months of sun and salt were not kind to the varnish and it was a little dusty, but other than that it was fine. We spent the day working: connecting the chart plotter, setting up the dinghy, putting up the head sail, hosing it down and shopping for groceries.
So we are ready to go, but as always the weather is not too good, it's going to blow hard tomorrow so instead of leaving and crossing the banks as we had planned, we are going to stay put and leave on Tuesday. There seems to be a window on Wednesday for us to cross to the DR, so we will take it.
