I’d like to start by wishing my wonderful sister-in-law Jenny Lloyd a happy happy birthday, especially as she still is, and has been in hospital for over 6 weeks, and should have been arriving 2 days after this birthday, to visit with us on Meshugga for a few weeks. Due to her ill health and Covid-19 her visit had to be cancelled, but we look forward to when Jenny can come spend a few months, not weeks, with us aboard Meshugga - where ever we are.

Our group of Cruisers have been together or in self-isolation for more than 6 weeks, and hence are clean and free of Covid-19. We get together for beach walks, snorkeling trips, evening drinks; and yes, we avoid all the other yachts as we don’t positively know whether they are ‘clean’.

The days roll into each other, and time flies between boat chores, laundry, getting exercise whether it’s kayaking, SUPing, walking, snorkeling, or hunting for fish and conch.
