Leaving Our Boat In Good Hands





Today we were picked up at our boat by Chico at 6:30 am. He took us on an hour long, early morning, motor boat ride up the Rio Dulce. It was quiet and serene as egrets and herons were just waking up for their morning meals. Chico will be watching over our boat, airing it out and making sure the bilge stays dry, while we fly home to visit friends and family.



Once we arrived in Fronteres Town, we caught our 7:45 bus to Guatemala City. Tomorrow we have our 22 week doctors checkup for Caroline and the little on who has started kicking her from the inside.
After our doctors visit we will take a side trip to Antiqua, a pretty little city about an hour away from Guatemala City.



We were both sad to leave our boat and be ending our cruise, but the sadness is fleeting in face of our overwhelming excitement about our new member of the family growing so fast each day. In about a month (November 12) Keith will return to Guatemala with 2 conscripted crew members for a marathon sail back to Key West.





Until then we will keep you updated on our land based travels
