Leaving Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida, and the USA

The hardest part about sailing is saying goodbye. Minutes after arriving in port, we meet wonderful friends, but within a few days or weeks, we find ourselves saying farewell.


Here in Coconut Grove, we have so many people to thank. There's no way to list everyone, but I can try:


At the club: Alyn, Nick, Lee, Peggy, Pat, Duane, Bill Beavers, Dragan, Kocky, Pepper, John, Kevin, Bruce, Terry, Rick, Commanding Officer Bondi, Jose, Mike, Geneva, Tom, Don, Ronnie, Daniella, and everyone else who has stopped by, said hi, and offered advice and encouragement (I know I've forgotten at least 25 people)!


The Piquette Family and Friends: Kirstie, Holly, Louise, William, Chris and everyone else who flew down to visit!


Ada Merritt: Ms. Forand, Ms. Padiernie, Mrs. Fletcher, Patrick, and all the other great students and teachers!

Thank you for everything! Goodbye and keep in touch!
