Green Turtle Dos

The Pearl (Jennifer)

Greetings,

We have been having a great time in Green Turtle!  The weather has turned hot and humid and the days are getting longer.  We have been working on the cap rail, coamings and anywhere there is vanish on Kluane.  We scrubbed the dinghy topsides, insides and bottoms.

For fun...We have shared a wonderful Mexican dinner with Sally, Jon, Kathy and Lana with Captain at the helm.  Yum, red chile.  We have been walking to town regularly- intervals, weight lifting, lunges and doing yoga.  We have also swam right off the beach to the ocean reefs... amazing photos compliments of Kathy!

We were very excited to met Kluane's previous owners, the LaFontaine's.  We were delighted to have them on board.  Captain took pages of notes as Yves detailed Kluane's history.  We found out she is truly a Bahamas boat, she spent winters in Man of War and Green Turtle.  Thank you LaFontaine's for taking such lovely care of our girl, we love her as much as you did!

We are enjoying the beauty of the island- flowers, birds, people and water!

We are both ready for a Duran's cheese enchilada dinner... Jeff and Connie, can't wait!

Give my love to Orbit!  Go Topes!

Throughout this trip, we have been asking every Canadian if they were the LaFontaine's.
One afternoon we came back to our boat and found s/v Velvet, Eileen and Yves- Kluane's old owners!
