Everyone has Comms...Until they Don't

Shroud Cay, Bahamas - brilliant, clear waters & lots of mischievous turtles! 

Greetings all from the beautiful clear waters of Turks Caicos.  We have just spent the better part of a day trying to clear out.  You know, one of those simple, easy to use online forms.  Every boat has wifi...doesn't it?  Hell no, and certainly not us. We (foreigners) couldn't even get a sim card for US phone services, let alone wifi.  

Anyway, it is what it is and we make do with cafe and marina wifi at infrequent stops along the way.  Updating the blog?  No chance just yet.  Your best source of "Where's Windjammer?" will be our Map and Tracker - a tab at the top of the blog that links you to a vague map covered in marching ants.  Entries will be made on it when we find somewhere to stop, and somewhere with wifi.

We find this situation highly amusing, if only to compare ourselves to the locals who have phones forever in their faces. 

Ingrid & Squiz, our guests for the Bahama Cruise segment, have just left for the Turks & Caicos airport so we will now have to manage on our own for a bit.  We also seem to be the only “crazy” ones heading south and the weather has been somewhat interesting so far this year… Next stop is Saint Martin, our longest sail yet (4-6 days straight) and naturally in winds coming from the direction that we are headed.  

Of course we needed a drink to steady our fraying nerves!
