Pictured here is Happy Ours, our Island Packet 44. She is a 1992 with hull number six. We moved aboard in May 2001 and began our crusing life in Palmetto, Florida. We rounded the tip of Florida with visits at Ft. Meyers Beech and Key West, then up the East coast to the Annapolis Boat Show, making many stops along the way. We split the trip equally between the ICW and out in the ocean.
After the boat show we sailed South and eventually wound up in Lake Worth from where we crossed the Gulf Stream to West End, Bahamas. Working our way thru the Abacos, we managed to attend race week in Georgetown. We followed the thornless path to the Virgin Islands, then island hopped to Trinidad where we attended one of their famous carnivals.
Leaving Trinidad, we based in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela from where we explored the beautiful out islands . We continued on to Curacou, Bonaire, Cartagena, the San Blas islands,Colon, Bocus Del Toro, San Andreus, Providencia, The Bay Islands of Honduras, Guatemala, up the Rio Dulce River , Belize, Isla Mujeres, Mexico and now we are in St Pete, Florida.
After 8 years, on May 15th, 2009, Happy Ours crossed her track and completed her circumnavigation of the Caribbean
