MrsFr8Dog and I have just started a 3+month sail on our boat. Follow along
We're hanging around the BVi for another week or so, then headed to St. Martin and then island hopping our way down to the Grenadines. If we get really bored, we may go west from Grenada to the ABCs. Tracking link below BTW - retirement sux!! đŸ¤ŖđŸ˜‚đŸ¤ŖđŸ¤™đŸģ ** Edited by B777Fr8Dog at 7/26/2026, 6:47:37 PM

You're in the Caribbean, you should be drinking rum!
Enjoy your sail, sir. I wish you fair winds and following seas.

We are not for want of rum 👍đŸģ

Did you name your boat after the Fedex slogan?
Love the nod to the color scheme as well.

Sounds like a awesome trip. My favorite sail I've been on was
from St Lucia to Grenada. I'm sure you already know about Happy Island in the Grenadines, but if not, it's worth the stop. It was built using conch shells. \ Safe travels. ** Edited by MCL3 Hokie at 7/27/2026, 7:36:22 AM

Your link is an amazing volume of tracking stuff. Far out.

I'll be adding some note and pics along the way. And of course, you know
where else to see stuff. 🤙đŸģ

NOMB, of course, but that mustache ...
You're a little on the youngish side to have such white hair. That's not powder, is it? (ducks)

Nope, and haven't even tried a gummie yet in my retirement. 🤙đŸģ

TSO & I officially envy you two.
Wow. Nice trip. Do pay heed to the US State warnings about the challenged safety of we citizenry throughout the Caribbean islands.

Wise man. We got robbed there twice coming and going on our cat trip
through the eastern Caribbean.

Full time cruiser friend just had his dinghy stolen. Was able to track it
down and confront the guy. He has a tiny YouTube channel and just put up a short video about it.

Sorry to hear about St. Lucia. We used to rent a house there in the 80's
and it was idyllic.

Nature of the beast, until the local community does something different, it
will continue. And not just the locals that are the bad guys, St Lucia seems to attract the type to participate in crime. A friend just had his dinghy stolen. He tracked it down on a solo silingnguys boat. The guy tried to blame locals.

I’d be more worried about all us lounge lizards knowing exactly
Where you are at all times than St Lucia. Let’s say photo goes all James Bond and snorkels to you and climbs aboardâ€Ļ
