A Very Merry Christmas to all...

We would like to wish all of our many friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Our house renovation is complete but as in all things it took much longer than we anticipated. We are very happy with the outcome and are enjoying the new kitchen. The big news for us is the addition, on December 6th, of a new granddaughter Emma in Calgary. All is fine there and we are expecting to have her and her brothers and dad and mum over in Vancouver for a week over Christmas.

We are counting the days before we head back to Trinidad to relaunch Kilkea II and and head out for some sailing through the Caribbean for the rest of the winter. It will sure be nice to be back to warm water and sunny days. We still have not decided on our future cruising plans but as long as we are having fun we might as well keep doing it. Once we get back to the boat I hope to start blogging more on our adventures.
