The Return of a Sailor....






















Now returns the "sailor" from "el caribbe".....  Having successfully circumnavigated the US VI, BVI and Spanish VI and having successfully passes the ASA 106 examination, Papa Doc comes one step closer to Captain Papa Doc.....  Only one more class to go, ASA 108 and that is a scheduled 1500 mile passage from Norfolk, Va to St. Thomas, hopefully planned for this coming October... Well, I could spend hours and hours trying to describe the blue of the water, or the sun rises and sun sets, or the millions of brilliant stars seen at night when far out to sea and without any interference from shore lights...Orion, BIg Dog, Little Dog, Hare, Tauras, Gemeni never looked so spectacular without the interference of the shore lights....  Of course, it all "HAD" to end, and I "HAD" to return to the harried life of retirement...  Our only saving grace was to be our next planned adventure....  Well, until my next blog, "safe winds and good seas be your fortune"......
