New Kids On The Block

Lisa and Rod Wolfe, aboard Lucky Peek, were to be the new "kids" this year - it was their first crossing. For five years or so they were planning a trip to the Bahamas and when we first met them at Brunswick Landing Marina they were going through the last minute check lists and installing their solar panels and windvane.
They had to pick up their new sails before heading for south Florida and we hoped to meet up with them in Lake Worth and make the crossing together to Grand Bahama Island. Sure enough, they arrived a couple of days before we caught a weather window.
Any concerns that we had had for them were soon put aside once we departed the Lake Worth inlet. They had their sails up, locked onto a course and did a great job of maintaining radio contact. Despite the conditions, the crew of Lucky Peek did a spendid job and upon arrival at Green Turtle Cay the crews of Attitude and Gypsy Common presented a few gifts as reminders of their first crossing.
Today is New Years Eve and Lucky Peek is anchored out in Marsh Harbour. We've see them only once, walking along the main street in town looking for a laundry. We'll have alot to celebrate tonight and are pleased to have had Rod and Lisa along with us this year!
