Contract on DejaVu

We have accepted a deposit and have a contract to sell DejaVu.  The buyer is a friend of a fellow cruiser and he came to see the boat when he was here in George Town.  The next day he brought his wife and 8 month old baby girl to the boat.
They fell in love with it and left a cash deposit with their friend who delivered it to us yesterday.
Benny and his family live in Palm Harbour Florida so the boat will go full circle and be back where it came from in the Tarpon Springs area.
We will finish our cruising season here in George Town and head up the Exuma chain with Joe's sister, Jeanne and her friend, Marcia on March 9th.  They will fly out of Nassau on March 16th and we'll sail back to Florida.
Of course, this is a very emotional time for us but we know in our hearts that it is the right decision and now we're looking forward to new adventures.

Now on to what we're doing here.
The weather this season has been very unusual as it has been everywhere.  Lots of cold fronts coming down here from Florida with winds blowing hard out of the West and NW.  This just means that we move the boat from one side of the harbour to the other every 10 days.  Luckily for us DejaVu only draws 3 feet so we can tuck into an anchorage that has protection from the wind.
We still get lots of sunshine and the temperatures are still much better than up north.

Everyone is gearing up for the cruiser's regatta that starts on Feb. 26th.  Joe is busy getting teams set up for regulation volleyball and he's going to softball practice twice a week.  I'm still doing my water aerobics, bible study and selling T-shirts.



Lots of get togethers with our fellow cruisers and we try not to talk too much about this being our final season with them.

As our friend, John, says "It's all good".
