Over the past month we have had an opportunity to meet a
remarkable community of individuals and couples enjoying the cruising
lifestyle. It seems that there is almost
an instant bond formed with the people you meet, as the lust for this lifestyle
pulls together people who share similar interests and a sense of
adventure. The camaraderie among
cruisers exceeded our expectations and has been
a welcome support to our first time in the Bahamas. From Jay and Debbie
loaning us their outboard in a time of need, to Gayle and Bill teaching us so
much about ocean life to Skip introducing us to the nature trails, and Maria
Elena and Bert demonstrating that Argentinian cooking, it’s all been good.
Each day is a new adventure with promise and spontaneity.
Time is the gift that takes on new meaning as your break away from the way you
spend your time ashore. Of course there are the downsides, constant boat
repair, weather challenges, long passages involving overnights and missing
family and friends. But the Double Diamond has begun the journey home and we
look forward to many more years of the cruising life.
