Prepping for Departure in the A.M.

We have spent the day today preparing for passage to the Bahamas, our last planned, extended passage of our trip. We will leave in the morning. Our stay here in St. John has been fun with several notable events. Finn tripped last night and nearly ripped his ear off getting into the cock pit. He is chipper today and keeps asking "Which ear was it?" Apparently he heals fast. We also spent a good bit of time here debating the National Park intent after being asked to leave a beach because we had kids. The beach was on a resort, a concession, contracted out from the National Park Service. It took us both by surprise after being forewarned by a Ranger that the resort occasionally chased people off but were shocked that the excuse was due to age.  I've been singing "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign..." all week, ironic there was no sign on the beach saying 'no kids under 13'.
