It is almost half a year since my last post to this blog. But now the time has come, and we are preparing to return to Scorpio in Chaguaramas, on October 15. Ever since we arrived in Finland in mid April I have been very busy with the renovation project of Ferry Beach, the property we aquired last year. The weather in Finland this summer was almost perfect and we managed to get even further with the building work than planned. The beach house is almost completed and we even had time to start on some of the projects on the main villa itself.
After Scorpio is sold I will return to smaller craft
It is now time for a well deserved vacation in the Caribbean. However, the plan is to start actively selling the yacht while we are aboard. The length of our cruise will therefore depend on how well the selling project advances. We will sail north in the Windward and Leeward Islands with the goal to arrive in St Martin after Christmas. If we cannot find a buyer this winter we will have to leave the yacht again stored somewhere, as we wish to get back to Ferry Beach before the end of April 2014. The big question in that case will be: should we sail north to the east coast of the US or back to Trinidad. We do not want to leave Scorpio in the Caribbean during the 2014 hurricane season.
