Our internet is sooo slow you could watch the alcohol in our rum drinks evaporate before this sentence could be uploaded. But, we've never actually allowed the alcohol to evaporate, though...it would just waste the ice.
More on slow internet in a few minutes...
Well, we made it to the islands on October 30 and spent the 1st three nights in the marina hotel while prepping the boat for launch. Just prior to our arrival, the marina workforce was contracted to paint the hull bottom with anti-fouling paint...Karen wanted red this year. I have to say that it looks "simply mauvelous, my dear."

It was really nice to be able to launch the boat without any significant problems, like leaking through-hull fittings, engines that won't start, sails that are worn out and baggy, etc. As soon as it was launched, we took it to one of Antilles Yacht's slips and finished assembling the boat and getting it ready for our 1st sail of the season.
Of course, we were still in the marina whilst Halloween was still a big thing in the US...but I think we actually got to have our fun waaayy before the little kiddies in Montana, Washington, Idaho and Oregon got to...our time zone is 3 hours ahead until daylight savings time ends. Friends Lori and Ken, Priscilla and Peter were there with us and Sue and Toddy were able to get there shortly after the party started.
Ohh...it's time for another joke...so, how slow is our internet? If I sent this blog, typed, to each of you via "snail-mail"...it would get there before this page finishes uploading.

 |
| Argh, me thinks all would make good pirate wenches |
 |
| Who would've thought She-devil would be so ticklish |
 |
| She-devil got her wine, but the waitress hasn't got to The Devil yet |
 |
| The Devil and Rasta Man, after receiving their libations |
 |
| The Arabian Princess decided she needed to show King Neptune where to put his trident |
 |
| Ahhh, here comes the bar maiden...the night is still young and our mugs are dry as a desert |
One last slow internet joke...Do you know how slow our internet is?
By the time you get this, the internet will probably be obsolete.
