Five years ago we got married on this beach. The ceremony on the bow of Sophisticated Lady, the party at Janet's Place, a bar on the sand where our whole story on the island began. This year we sailed back. In May I found the beach buried in sargassum and the bar shut. In September, on Maddy's birthday, we rode across the island and walked down to Janet's. It's gone. Knocked down, nothing left but a patch of sand.
So this is a then-and-now. The wedding day from our 2021 films. The island as it is today. Acuario Cay the way it looked in 2019 when the Rally fleet rafted up on the sandbar, and the old shipwreck the girls used to jump off in 2021, now caved into the sea. Our old intro, with Jota's painting on the end of the building. And the family that came out of all of it, still very much here.
Thank you, Janet. Thank you, San Andrés.

A Redodo 12.8V 100Ah lithium battery against the lead acid battery it replaced in our Highfield dinghy. Nearly the same weight, 2 to 3 pounds heavier, with at least double the capacity. And you only really get to use about half of what's on a lead acid label. The full install and crank test are...
