First Edition and Celebrian decided to rendezvous at Coco Bay which is as far south in the Jumentos as you can safely anchor. From there it is about 60 miles to Cuba. This is the fourth year that we have met up with Lynn and Peter and we try to spend a little time sailing together. It is always a joyful reunion and we just take up from where we last left off...a true sign of a good friendship. Lynn and Peter are taking a year off next year to live in their new house on Chesapeake Bay. This is after 4 years of living full time on First Edition so needless to say they are excited. We saw their plans the first night we had dinner with them. Peter had caught a mahi mahi a couple of weeks ago and Lynn had frozen some for us....a treat for Rob's birthday. She also surprised him with a cake since she knew he was only getting birthday bread from his wife.
The next day in Coco Bay we awoke to a surge and decided that we should look for a more comfortable anchorage. We headed north to Hog Cay which is a popular cruising anchorage because it is usually surge free. For the first day we were here it was so windy and cloudy we decided that it would be a good day to stay aboard. I read one of the books Lynn had saved for me from First Edition's library called The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. The story is narrated by Enzo the dog. He lives with Denny who is a race car driver. It is both heart wrenching and funny look at human life....as only a dog could tell it. I would highly recommend it for everyone, not just dog lovers as it has a message for us all.
