Condition	First	Janusz made his version of
If you can't stop the leak - go for	Place is sort of	Getting ready to cast off
Leaving Kemah Bridge behind	Arrived at Galveston	Pleasant visit from Andre and Lila
Out in The Gulf. Windpilot at the helm	So the Crew can get some rest	But it is good to take charge every once in a while
Celebrating first full day out with Somerset Brandy from Barry	Ships passing astern from time to time	A night watch
Sometimes ships pass abow	Overnight visit from petrels	...or is it an invasion?
Quite at home on the winch	Another precious gift from friends about to be consumed	Another day ends.
Our favorite off-watch activity	Double Januszes in rare picture together	Sailing is good....
I agree. No argument here	We do some work on occasion	Sometimes overboard (fish line in the prop)
Sometimes at the helm	Another great sunset	Arrived at Conch Harbor, Key West
Janusz is headed for the airport	Time to go shopping. Wereda safely tucked in	Shopping was sucessful
Wereda at new location, King's Pointe on Stock Island	Pulled my bike to visit the Hogfish restaurant	Enjoying Grilled Hogfish. Best tasting fish, period
Let the serious work begin...	First, need to find me a Volvo shop	then pick up a good mechanic
would it be this guy?	I guess it will be a team work...	On Sunday morning we had a nice visit from old
friends from Houston, Eliza and Les.	Les inspected my cellar and found it adequate...	also they viewed videos from Gulf crossing
Key West Manatee waving good bye. Time to get going.....	Encounters on high seas	Entertainment is on its way
Variety in food adds to sense of well being	One of many stunning sunsets	Rounding Cayo Lobos. We are out of the OBC
Enjoying good sailing weather	Reefing snatch block split open. Managed to bend it back together	But permanent solution was implemented
More sunset shots	The south side of Windward Passage. Cuba's South shores	How about this sunset?
Dead calm between Cuba and Hispaniola	South shores of Haiti	What fish could resist such a tasty home made lure
First of my 3 Indian dishes	AIS info allowed me to chat with Polish ship POMORZE	After dropping an anchor off the shore of Aruba
Chasing blockage in water cooling lines	And finding a missing impeller blade	A view of the Hotel Row, Aruba
After clearing in, Wereda displays Aruba's courtesy flag	On the way to private island	leaving Wereda tied up to the pier
Flamingo Beach on private island	Washing Sails	Drying out after the passage
All got wet and needs a wash and drying out	A glimpse at the Strip downtown Oranjestad	A hello from a local resident
A short escape to the beach	Wereda as viewed from Paddock Restaurant	Wereda dwarfed by a cruise ship Adventure of the Sea
Welcome breakfast aboard Wereda for Dorota and Wojtek	Sampling food at Kepasa Restaurant	We have guests tonight and Grouper is for dinner
Hungry guests waiting for dinner to be served	Party stretched till evening	Wereda with dinghy at 'ready' will sail to the Malmok Beach
Anchored at the beach	View of the Malmok Beach	Wojtek at the helm on the way back to Marina
Wereda at her new, less rolly slip	Wereda zipped-up for my 3 week long absence	Renaissance's Private Island seen from the airstrip
Welcome to Venezuela!
