Yay!!! Have Internet hookup now!! So, we made it! Waiting for the perfect weather window proved to be well worth it because we had a very smooth crossing.
We have made some great friends in our flotilla that all crossed together & we are in the islands! About 4 hours into our crossing Scott caught a Mahi Mahi, about 20lbs.
Mahi Mahi ceviche
So exciting! 14hrs into the crossing, he caught a 3ft Barracuda.
It took us 18hrs to get to our 1st anchorage @Great Sale Caye. We slept for 5 hrs and then traveled 8.5 more hrs to Green Turtle Caye. We LOVE it here. We have decided to stay here for awhile. Time to slow down & enjoy the journey we've dreamed of. For Christmas, all the boaters had a potluck @ a local dive shop. It was so great & really helped that homesick feeling.
Tomorrow we are going to another small island called Munjack Caye for our 1st lobster hunt. Then back to Green Turtle for New Years.
Jib did wonderful on the crossing & learned to swim on Christmas day. :)
Special shout out to the nurses @ Phoenix Baptist L&D...Scott & I finally enjoyed the bottle of Dom on our own private beach Christmas morning!
Love you all!! We're having the time if our lives!!
Miss you all so much. To our families...we will try to call ASAP. Hopefully before New Years.

I am so glad that you guys have made it to your paradise. I can tell by the smile on your faces that all your time and effort have put you where you were meant to be. Miss you guys terribly but so glad to see you so happy. Love Dave and Lori
We are so glad for you guys! We hope you really enjoy the holidays. You've done what I've always dreamed of... X-Mas on the beach in the bathing suit (Or less). Congratulations!
I must admit....I am a little jealous of your great sunny beach pictures right now. Oh don't worry, I am only needing 4 or 5 layers right now to stay safe outside. And....I still have that fuzzy blanket you two gave me when we made this crazy decision to move to the ARtic lands.
Loving your blog!
