Our 2nd Anniversary aboard Sea Star July 4th, 2008 marked 2 years from the day we "pushed off from the dock" in our 35 foot sailing sloop "Sea Star", at Penetanguishene, Georgian Bay to begin our adventure south. During our first year (July 4, 2006 to July 4, 2007) we covered the distance from Ontario to Grenada in the West Indies. During our second year we made our way south to Trinidad, east to Tobago, north again along the lesser antilles island chain (Windwards and Leewards) and west through the Virgins (U.S., British and Spanish) to Puerto Rico. At this point we did an about-face, so to speak, and sailed back through the lesser antilles (3rd pass) to arrive once again in Trinidad. During this 2nd year we sailed 2300 nautical miles; which combined with the 4500 nautical miles in our first year brings us to a total distance sailed of 6800 nautical miles (7,830 statute miles or 12,598 kilometers). During this 2nd year our sailing was exclusively in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Much to Barry's chagrin, after 2 years, I continue to reign as Scrabble champion (to be fair - he is improving). During the 2 year period we have posted on-line 275 blog segments, containing a total of 975 photos. We travelled half as far this year but saw twice as much. With last year's marathon journey from the Great Lakes to the Tropics behind us we were finally at leisure to meander and explore. Our biggest discovery has been to realize that the more we see, the more there is that we want to see. The doors to adventure continue to open and we feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to step through and enjoy.
