We are taking a little intermission and heading back to the U.S. for a few days. We`ll feel like fish out of water since we`ve been gone 6 months. How about driving on the right side, fast food, and television! Then we catch a flight to Argentina and Uruguay where we are participating in the Brotherhood of the Coast World Zafarancho for two weeks. This is a worldwide sailing fraternity with an international gathering every four years in a different country. So we`ve hauled Liward out of the water in Grenada to get her annual bottom paint job while we are gone. This is a must in the tropics since the marine growth is so bad. She looks like a fish out of water! We`ve been working very hard on the boat doing some projects before we leave. Crusing is not fun 100% of the time! We`ll be back on the boat December 3 and then get ready to head up to the northern Caribbean to visit the islands we missed on the way south.
