Dolphins and Turtles

Dolphins and Turtles, originally uploaded by captainjay.

Well about a half hour ago I saw a big turtle floating on the surface. Just now I had a pod of Dolphins come up and play in the bow wave. Tough duty?

Off to Puerto Rico

Off to Puerto Rico, originally uploaded by captainjay.

Jay is headed to Puerto Rico this morning on one of CYOA's boats to store it for hurricane season. There are three of the leaving together and then they'll fly back this evening. They will be making several trips until all the boats are brought over. I wanted to make one of the trips but I guess it ain't happening. Jay is taking over Rya Jen, a 39 foot Beneteau monohull. He is supposed to do some live posts so stay tuned.

Forever Young

Here is next installment of Angie and Patti's Big Adventure...... sailing with Forever Young. First, we sailed from Red Hook, St. Thomas to the east end of Lovango Cay. We took a mooring on the north side of Lovango which is adjacent to Congo Cay. It was so beautiful, the water was unbelievable. There are a few new moorings there, so if you're looking for a peaceful place to snorkel and just "chill out", this is the perfect place to go. After a snorkel and lunch we did a short little sail over to St. John to Hawksnest Bay. We took a mooring near Oppenheimer Beach and just got in the water to relax and cool off. Then it was time to head home.

Here is a link to the full trip report on the forum.

Here is a little video of the sail over to Lovango.
Enjoy!

Let's go Sailing

Today we are going out with Larry and Betty of Forever Young. Jay and I both have the day off, so we thought we would take Angie and Patti sailing. Larry and Betty are awesome so we should have an awesome day!

Here is a video we did the last time we sailed with Forever Young.

We made it to St. Croix in about 4 and a half hours. It was an awsome sail... Great weather, 2 to 4 foot seas, good music...priceless!

Well we are under way to St. Croix. We got up at 5 am and by 5:20 we were heading out to sea. Captain Gary doesn't mess around....when its time to go, its time to go.

It looks like we will only have iPhone pics from this trip. Jay brought the camera, underwater housing, batteries, and charger. But forgot the memory card. So no sailing videos....bummer.

Stay tuned for more.....

Just for A Little Fun Sailing Video Forever Young

Thought I would add some fluff just for fun, and to show one of the reasons we are making this move. Here is a video from our most recent trip.
