Parting is such sweet sorrow

After two and a half weeks of some ridiculously windy weather and great times with friends, it is time for us to move on southward. Last night we said good-bye, tomorrow morning we leave the Abacos and head to the Exumas via Eleuthera.

One of the best things about meeting new cruisers while traveling is that it’s just like summer camp as a kid. Friendships that can oftentimes take months or years to develop happen overnight. But since we are all traveling in different directions, we are often saying good-bye to our newfound best friends. On this trip we were able to re-visit with friends we made last year, and enjoy the company of new friends. With email, blogs, and facebook it is easier than ever to stay in touch, looking forward to the day we will meet up again. Tomorrow will just be me, IB and Passport alone on the great big fishpond, knowing new friends and a glass of rum await us somewhere ahead.
