Anegada is a flat island with no hills or mountains unlike the other Virgin Islands.

It was a whirlwind of activities and tasks leading up to our departure from Cape Town on 21 October. Meg left a few days earlier, so we were on our own without adult supervision or her valuable assistance.

We arrived in Cape Town on June 6th, after a whirlwind of activity selling our house in Houston, filling a storage unit with what’s left of our household, moving our daughter to Los Angeles, selling our cars and a boat, and saying goodbye to all of our friends (for now).

It should be no surprise to anyone that knows me, that weather conditions are ALWAYS a factor on any sail that I take.

Launching Rodeos was an amazing experience - Said a few prayers at about this time!!

Stay tuned for this adventure!

Boat launch is scheduled for September 22 at the Cape Royal Yacht Club. After stepping the mast, she will be sailed around the V&A Marina, where final commissioning and handover activities will be completed.
