Claude came to the Sailing Club this morning to continue preparations for the "crossing", and we thought we'd send a Christmas card to all of our blog readers the only way we know how...so...MERRY CHRISTMAS! We are preparing supplies, charts, cramming the boat full of as many canned goods, paper goods, and extra filters, etc. as we can. It is a monumental task but hey - if we run out, we'll just figure it out I'm sure. How bad can it be to be in the Bahamas?
We have enjoyed Coconut Grove even more these last few days - we found the clean and well-maintained public tennis courts, and Wayne has been trouncing me the past 2 days. It is embarrasing, as inevitably next to us are young people in the developmental mode of Venus and Serena, who smash the heck out of the ball. Still, it's fun to jog in the park, play tennis, stroll around the streets and enjoy the hospitality of the bar at the sailing club. We can only wish those of you in the north great skiing and snowboarding and happy trails for Cross-Country.
Claude's family is already here and mine arrives tomorrow so there is nothing more we could ask for this Christmas.
Bisous a tous - hugs for all -
Isabel, Wayne and Claude

Hi All,
Merry Xmas to you all. Always interesting to get your updates. Sunny and clear today and the snow has been somewhat reduced from the rain we had, the day before yesterday. Preparing to receive family later today, well 50% of it at least, as daughter Wendy is in Switzerland where we are off to on the 28th for New Years and some skiing. Hope your wedding plans are coming together. If we don't connect before you cross I hope it is a safe and enjoyable one.
Isabel.........don't forget to read up on the GPS as there won't be anything out there to take a bearing on..........except maybe Merope
All the very best for 2008
Best Regards,
Doug
