Leaving San Pedro

Penzi's intrepid crew has had it's fill of Belize and we are scheduled to depart tomorrow morning for Isla Mujeres. We have refueled, re-provisioned, filled the water tanks, fixed the bilge pump and re-welded the engine mounting bracket. Christy has made friends with every stray dog and little boy selling necklaces. Tom has bargained with every jewelry seller and explored every store while getting food for the next leg. Keith has learned to release his anxiety and live in the moment....



More from Mexico, unless we keep going to Key West.... Stay Tuned!

Penzi is on her Way Back

Being 6 months pregnant means Caroline is missing the ride back home on Penzi, but our friends Tom and Christy are helping Keith sail her back.



All three of them arrived in Guatemala on Nov 12 and left Livingston, Guatemala on Nov 15. Keith dove in to retrieve a bucket, but hit it face first by accident. Seven stitches at the Guatemalan Government clinic were free of charge.



We are now in Caye Caulker, Belize and waiting for the right weather so we won't have to motor all the way back to Key West.



We'll upload photos soon!

Back in the USA - Pregnancy Tour 2008!

We have made it back to the United States and are currently on an East Coast road trip. We have purchased a used VW station wagon and adorned it with Obama stickers for the trip!
Guess Which Car....


The Trip So Far:

First Stop: Saratoga, NY. Visiting our friend Joe (Geri was in Key West at the time), we also saw Tico & Courtney (our gracious hosts because Joe's place was a little cold). We also got to see Ed and have great pizza at Jimmy's.


Second Stop: Spring Grove, PA. Caroline's Dad, Cal, hosted us, as well as her 2 brothers (Malcom & Mike) and her nephew, Evan.

Third Stop: York, PA. A wonderful day of visiting with one of Caroline's high school friends Mini, and playing with her youngest son, Kyle.







Fourth Stop: Silver Springs, MD. An afternoon with Alison, Dave and their 2 children, Sam and Grace.




Fifth Stop: Odeton, MD. Great days relaxing with Maura & Mel, plus a visit from Lisa and her 4th child, Zach. (NOTE: Maura has all the pictures from our visit)




Sixith Stop: Richmond, VA. Election time with our friends who are solidly in the same political corner as us: Go Barack! Sophia, James and our god-daughter, Savannah, are showing us a great time with beautiful walks and a lovely picnic. It was Sophia's birthday, so Savannah & Keith made a cake!


Seventh Stop: Keith's Mom in Haines City, FL. Rigth away Mom swept Caroline off to the Motherhood store for some overdue pregnant girl shopping. Caroline is now outfitted for the next 3 months.


Next Stop, KEY WEST!!!!!



More updates and photos later!
