THE other day, our friends Peter and Gail of Jabiru V helped us lift Pip up the mast to inspect the rigging before our passage to Curacao.  We first met these dear friends in Cape May, and hung out in Liberty Landing in NYC — in July of last year.   In Dominica this April, we were stunned when they sailed up and dropped the hook right next to us.

Jabiru is heading to Trinidad for hurricane season, so we’ve parted ways, but we know we’ll bump into them again.  It’s actually a small, small world.
