That we came back to Providencia, actually we never made it any farther than the sea bouy before we realized our trusty crew member, OTTO, was not functioning. We really don´t like hand steering and facing the possibility of a slog north without him, so we turned around.
We awoke the next morning to the weather report of a full blown norther entering the caribbean this weekend.
So we have dropped the hook and have been enjoying more of Providencia. We repaired otto and did a few other projects.
It looks like we will be waiting until at least thursday or friday before we head out again. Oh well. The life of a sailor is managed by break downs and weather. We can deal with that.
And this is to the arm-chair sailor that made the motor-sailign comment; You just wish you were here enjoying 60 cent beers and 80 degree water.

Even if you had to pay 1 cent for each degree, your beers would stil beat the heat!! Happy Thanksgiving to all Ute guys!!!!!! We're sending love from NYC.
Oh one more thing, Lara called us last night to tell us that she scored 500 points in a Scrabble showdown with Maia. Suddenly we're not sure we'll ever play them. How's your Boggle game? What are you reading these days? Any chance we can send xmas gifts to Roatan? If so, address and wish list please!!!!!
XOXO
Fair winds,
Julie, Vanessa and baby

Happy Turkey (or chicken) day. Price of beer all the way up to $.60! Outrageous! You should bargain them down to $.30...
