Colorado for Hurricane Season

Cruising around in the little Papaya!


A small sample of our Mermaid's Message of Hope jewelry!

We finally decided to head back to Colorado for the very active hurricane season. After putting Aldebaran II on the hard in Grenada for a little rest, we took off for Colorado to enjoy the dry, warm air, and take advantage of all there is to do in Fort Collins.

We spent time taking lots of rides in our little Audi TT Roadster, going to farmer's markets, traveling to California for meditation retreats at the Chopra Center, visiting with family, doctor's checkups, hanging out with friends, and launching our new sea glass jewelry business called Mermaid's Message of Hope!

While visiting the beautiful islands of the West Indies we discovered sea glass on some of the beaches. The "gems" were so beautiful that we decided to create one-of-a-kind sea glass jewelry and that is when Mermaid's Message of Hope was born. The response to our jewelry, and the message each piece holds, has been incredible. We were able to take our jewelry to several home parties and nearly everyone who came took a piece of the sea home with them. Everywhere we go people want to buy our jewelry when they see us wearing it, so the message is clear that this little business is on it's way to being a success. Even as we ready ourselves to return to Grenada we were invited to participate in a jewelry show next weekend!! We are so excited about our jewelry and the good energy it provides for everyone. We have been keeping good records of where each piece of sea glass came from, so when we return we will be able to give some of the profits from our jewelry to educational or environmental organizations on the islands.

We are now looking forward to returning to our home on Aldebaran II. Only 11 days from now we will be there! Please check in on this blog and join us for our next adventures as we sail around the Caribbean and continue our hunt for more sea glass, meet new people and old friends, swim with sea turtles, and explore the islands.
