Our Grandkids Part 2: Maya & Genna-WEE JAMMIN Cruise

So far this season, Captain Dan and I ventured all the way to Jamaica (mon) on board Exit Strategy. Recently, our daughter Becky’s family flew into Montego Bay to join us. The WEE JAMMIN Cruise itinerary was filled with laughter, fun in the sun, sand, snorkeling, hiking, and mostly motor sailing in the absence of ample wind.   The highlights follow.

This burial on the beach in Montego Bay was the only time they let me lay down for a rest.

   


Both Genna and Maya loved jumping off the boat. (Here we were anchored at Lucea.)

We hiked up Mayfield Falls one day.

Ar-r-r-r-r!

Maya got dreads on the beach at Bloody Bay near Negril.

  

Our Grandkids Part 1: Aslan and Lyla

We have been able to sail to St. Croix to spend the holidays with our son Bob’s family since moving on to the boat and it always makes our Christmas very special.  I tried to post this photo essay months ago, but got frustrated when the internet connection failed repeatedly.  Hope this works today…


We play loads of games on board.  Lyla's favorite is Connect 4.  Aslan's is Checkers.

Aslan was often in the lead as we hiked the Caledonia Trail up to the waterfall
 in St. Croix's northwest region.

   


The toothfairy has been working overtime...

From the resort, we hiked through the woods and along a rugged shore ...

...that ended at a huge tidal pool complete with waterfalls.

   


Lyla found a pirates map along the beach.

Aslan and Lyla let Babcia and Grandpa rest just long enough for a photo.
