Thanks everyone for the kind coments. I will touch on later what inspired me to do a trip like this.
The boat still has steering issues and the cause appears to be external. David has arranged for me to meet his mechanic who he speaks very highly of, first thing this morning over on Virgin Gorda. We will be in the lift again today for a while. I will go have some breakfast now and take care of that and check back in later.
Thanks for following along. Weather looks a little better today.

Amazing combo Bob and Jay. Thanks for a compelling novel. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has had their minds drifting during this thread and thought, "wouldn't that kind of trip be a great memoir to have". Greatly appreciate you guys sharing it.

Just back from getting repairs in Spanish Town. We lifted the boat and found a cracked fitting on a hose to the steering ram on port side. While the mechanic changed that out I had the hull and hardware all acid washed and gave the engines a good fresh water flush. We are now good mechanically. Now I can start to have some fun.
Just talked to Julian and there are about 15 boats from PR at St Thomas having lunch. More to come but some are scattered. Shortly Jay and I will run west to meet them and get some running shots of the boats on the way back here.
