Hey everyone!
Mel here - Thought this would be a good way for friends and fam to keep track of us as we embark on our wild sailing adventure to South America!
Robin and I are still on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, with three days to go, and still lots to do! We've been running errands all over the island, closing bank accounts, wiring money, shipping extra stuff home to New York and Hawai'i (did I get that apostrophe placement right, Robs?), and provisioning for a three-month voyage (bugspray, sunblock, and some new MAC makeup?); we also got Yellow Fever shots, and Doc Mock sent down some tropical-disease-fighting pharmaceuticals.
We're also in the process of selling our beloved island cars, and, after almost three weeks straight on the phone with various airlines, I finally found a great arrangement for my black lab, Maverick (you guys are the best- he'll be in great hands, and he'll have a great summer floating in the pool)!
It's wild packing nearly two years of island life into a backpack - we've both had some amazing times, and met some of the warmest people I've known - gonna miss you St. Johnians and St. Thomians- stay in touch!
Looking forward to one last full moon at Hull Bay with all the Island Solmates!
