Sorry it’s been so long since an update, lots going on. I’ll start with the condensed version then add details and pictures later.
In the last entry we had just gotten to Isla Mujeres. Very soon after we arrived I got terrible news about my brother and we quickly got the boat tied to pilings in a marina so she would be safe with just Tom on board and I headed to California. Luckily I got back in time to tearfully say good bye, I’m tearing up even now. I stayed about a month, helping my mother distribute Chuck’s stuff, clean the apartment and arrange the memorial.
Back in Isla, we were going to take off right away for Florida, but a group of our friends from Guatemala showed up so we delayed to get caught up and party. We’re getting underway this weekend. We’ll be checking out today and leave Saturday or Sunday (April 20th or 21st) for either the Dry Tortugas or Key West. Sorry this post is such a downer, I’ll put together a better one with pictures when we get Florida.
