This is the site that we will use to keep family and friends up-to-date on our travels aboard our sailboat Antares, a Valiant 42 cutter which was built for us in 1996-7 and launched in May 1997. We kept her in Biloxi, MS until just after Hurricane Katrina, when we shipped her back to the factory for repairs from damage sustained in the storm. In November of 2006 she was trucked to Pensacola and we took off from there just after Thanksgiving 2006 and sailed to Isla Mujeres, Mexico via Key West. From there we worked our way down the east coast of the Yucatan, ending our trip in May in the Rio Dulce Guatemala.
We are now poised to begin another phase of our trip and we will try to keep everyone informed of our whereabouts and our adventures through this blog.Check in here after the beginning of the year.
