Back in the U.S.A.


I know it has been a couple of weeks since my last posting but I have a good excuse. The crew and I worked our butts off while Athena was in drydock. Six am to Six pm. Polishing the hull, painting the bottom, and lots of caring for our yacht while she was treated like a commercial container ship. Freeport was a whole lot of work, with little time for anything but sleep during my off hours. However it was well worth the work, she looks beautiful as ever, and is closer and closer to being ready for our around the world cruise.

Athena has a long, tentative list of destinations, but we do know she is headed for the Pacific. Currently we are in West Palm Beach, Florida, and are soon headed for the Caribbean. Once we leave here we are headed for St. Martin, St. Barts, Antigua, Panama, Galapagos, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia; with a 5 month stint in Australia. Of course there will be many places in between, but I will keep you all updated.

I'm keeping this post short and sweet. I've worked all day, sailing the boat from Freeport to West Palm, and washing the salt off her hull. I'm tired, and happy. Click here for some photos to make up for my inability to type any longer.
