The time has come and tomorrow, Sat. Dec 1st we shove off
for the Caribbean. Jaywalker is fueled, provisioned and Judy and I are
ready to go.
 We are sitting a little low in the water due to our fuel
and water load which will lighten as the days progress.
While we've been here for this short time in La Gomera we
have enjoyed the company of our good friend, Denny Morgan on Jubilant. He
will be crossing about Jan 1st.
Also in the next day or so, a rowing challenge from Here
to Antigua is set to start. There are about 18 boats, with anywhere from
single handers, double handers and a couple of 4 man crews. Even two boats
with only women rowing. The quickest will probably take 49-50 days and
some will be out for twice that long. This is a once every two years
event. For me, once in a lifetime would be once to often.
 This is a one man boat, the other person is for
photos.
 One last look at La Gomera which is a small city on one of
the smaller islands, but throughly charming and a great place to come to
visit.
More later from the high seas.
