New Years
After about 5 hours in Georgetown for Internet, Deisel, phone call to my mom and lunch etc...Candace and I returned to Asperida. We spent the evening onboard and watched a small fireworks display on the nearby island east of the anchorage. It was about 10 pm. We then went to sleep and while Walter and Candace did get up again for the midnight fireworks in Georgetown, I didn't bother. Probably bigger displays but from farther away s no loud noises like the explosions on the beach out here at 10 pm.
We had a nice breakfast of ham, eggs and pancakes. I'm not sure if another trip to town will happen but I think we might? It feels like we won't be departing today so why not a trip to Internet and what ever else one more time.
OK..new news.. We are having a discussion. We are now contemplating heading to Haiti to drop Candace off sometime around January 20? She is going to volunteer with a group from home at a Haitian orphanage in the town of Les Cayes. Formerly, one option had us sailing through the Turks and Caicos and then straight non stop to the east side of Puerto Rico. This would involve a final a 4 or 5 day non stop passage. She would then bus to San Juan and fly to Miami to meet up with her group before flying on to Haiti and taking a bus to Les Cayes. Another option being considered is to head southeast and than through the Windward Passage and on to the south side of Haiti. We would anchor in the little bay at Callie Coq village on Ile A Vache. I've been there back in 2013 on our retreat back to Jamaica during my first volunteer crewing with Denny and Gabby. Candace would either take one of the regular sailboat/rowboat ferries from Callie Coq to Les Cayes or we would just buzz her over on the dingy? It's about 6.5 miles. It seems at this moment of typing we are leaning toward heading to Haiti. We would virtually be taking Candace to the town where the orphanage is. It would also mean a leisurely pace hence we might likely stay anchored here near Georgetown for a while. And stop a while another place or two. There would be a couple longer passages but nothing like Turks and Caicos to eastern Puerto Rico.
