We’ve always said that we would sail back to the Caribbean someday. We’ve been saying it since we were on our honeymoon back in 1989 – someday.
Since then, we have had 2 amazing sons and lived in 3 different states and 6 cities. We’ve made great friends and had jobs we loved (and those we didn’t love so much).
Now it’s time.
We moved aboard Lailia in the late fall of 2019 and thought about heading out in 2020. Just as I was getting ready to take a leave of absence, Covid 19 happened and suddenly the world shut down. We spent another year as liveaboards in the marina while I kept working. That time was used to do some boat work and to save up some money.
Now it’s time.
In the past year, we’ve dealt with my torn ACL and John’s hip replacement. We’ve each had a basal cell carcinoma removed. Covid is still around (omicron is definitely taking over) but it’s time.
I’ve taken a leave of absence for a year – it started today. We plan to be out in a less than 2 weeks.
It’s time.
