We are on the move again having spent 15 days in Puerta Del Rey, Puerto Ricco.
We had to stay that long as I went to Holland for a week to help my mother move house. Getting there and back was horrendous, but that is another story. It was a family effort and she is now nicely set up in a small new house in the same village.
Duncan stayed on Sea Topaz and made the most of the time on his own by doing his open water diving. He also did various jobs on the boat of the never ending list. There are still plenty left for a later date.
At the moment we are sailing in very deep waters: 7/8000m deep! The colour of the water is a deep dark blue. Weather is good, but not much wind, so progress is slow. We are hoping to get to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Friday/Saturday. No stress.
Sailing in the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas is going to be different with very deep waters one moment and less than a meter under the keel next. Should be good, will let you know with some pictures next time.
