Thought For The Day - All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. -
Walt Disney

A reminder that we cannot let security issues stand in the way of our dreams of cruising where and when we want to go. We just need to take a few precautions and remain vigilant. We are blessed with a lifestyle that allows us to move on to another port if there are problems in a particular area.

Five years ago we were in Porlamar, Margarita, an island off the coast of Venezuela, when we learned there was going to be a general strike the next day. What did we do? We simply raised our sails and headed for Trinidad with a small group of boats. Some cruisers remained in Margarita where, as it turned out, nothing happened. The point here is we have the freedom and responsibility to make our own decisions to stay or go. Stay safe.
