Seasons Greetings!

Dear Family Friends and Fellow Travelers

We wish you the very best of holiday greetings from sunny Luperon,
Dominican Republic, where we are busily getting Horizons back
in the water after six months on the hard. This year as a special
treat, we decided in advance not to stay on the boat while she
was out of the water, so have rented a lovely studio overlooking
the sea and a car to make the 10 minutes drive to the yard up
and down several steep hills to the yard. This is very elegant
of us, but has preserved our mood quite admirably as multiple
issues present themselves.

We will resume sea stories when we have them, for now we are
just day laborers who can shower at night.

We hope you are all enjoying the comforts of home, whether on
sea or land, and wish you the absolute best in the New Year.

Jack and Laurie
