Yes, it has been a year and the puppies are still the same little Ass holes that they have been for the previous 14 years. All the same we are enjoying our trip down south. This will be the second winter that we have missed. Although the autumn leaves look tempting, the cold is not in my blood or the puppies blood. I'm looking forward to another year of cruising with the rascals. We will stay in the West Indies this year cause so much damage was done to the leeward islands by CAT 5 hurricanes. We will leave Grenada in a few weeks and head up island. We will be back here for the next hurricane season.
