LET THE PREPARATIONS BEGIN!

We leave Ottawa around August 13 to drive down to St. Augustine. Coyaba is out of the water and needs a few things completed before we do the Exumas, Bahamas again. We are bringing things down and bringing some things back. It will be extremely hot! We will stay at a hotel and get up very early to get a start in the "cool" of the day. We did buy an air conditioner that we have plugged in to a nearby building. This air conditioner is keeping the molds at bay is what I've been told. All boaters know that mold is our enemy along with the salt.

So the blogging will recommence in August but not very exciting as it is more of a diary as to what we are up to preparing Coyaba for another adventure! I will post pictures as the internet may be a reasonable speed in St. Augustine. We love St. Augustine, it is such a beautiful small, historical city.
We will be back to Coyaba in October to finish up and paint the bottom. We then put the catamaran in the water to travel on the ICW to Stuart, FL. We will keep Coyaba there until January when we leave for Bimini.

doing as simply messing about in boats."
