It’s said among sailors to always make your plans in pencil for as soon as you’ve got it figured out, your liable to change it, if the weather doesn’t change it for you first. We had planned a longer stay in Crooked Island before heading on to Great Inagua, our staging spot to make it through the windward channel for Cuba’s south coast. But it was through chats with S/V Mars, dismay over the hurricane damage to French Wells, forecasts for the winds, and looking at our timeline that we decided to make a new plan.

Long Island, not the New York one
Whoa, what happened there!?! We we’re nicely blogging along once a week and then, BAM, 5 weeks passed! Many apologies for the long absence, we’ve got our dog ate our homework excuse all ready though… We’ve had no internet! oye, I forgot a world could exist without internet for so long. We’ve been in very remote part of the Bahamas, Cuba (where they had internet but very limited) and have now just arrived in Panama after a long passage so there are plenty of stories backlogged to tell you all. We’ll try to keep the posts coming fast and furious now that we’re back connected to the world, for now enjoy Alyssa’s rendition of our Long Island escapades and we’ll have you all caught up on our adventures in no time, Thanks for your patience!!
Last we left off we had just stumbled upon some young cruisers at Rum Cay when Adam had pulled up to the wrong boat at night…
Why is the Rum always gone
Last we left off we had liberated our buddy Phil and I stitched Adams foot while underway…
We arrived in one (stitched up) piece to Rum Cay just in time to catch a beautiful sunset and make dinner before we both fell into a heavy well deserved sleep! 
Rum Cay is appropriately named after a ship carrying barrels of rum wrecked on its dangerous coral reef in the 18th century and the men all made it to shore but with nothing to survive other than rum! (We can assure you there is no shortage of Rum even to this day)
