Jupiter's Smile - Our new Island Packet 370

We left the Black Forest on Jay's birthday, September 18th.  Our Dodge Grand Caravan was loaded to the roof with gear to stock our new sailboat and we were off to Florida to sign the papers, give Island Yachting Centre a check and S/V Jupiter's Smile would be ours.







Notice how Jupiter's Smile looks in the photo below.  This is just days after we bought her.  The sails are off and the canvas top is off.  That is because Hurricane Jeanne is approaching our new boat!


We have done what we could to prepare and now all that is left to do is to wait for it all to be over.



The storm passed and left damaged boats on our dock.


Cat's Meow looks like it lost the cat fight


Even the dock was damaged!
