     We are now well into January, 2000. As I am told, like most of the world,
     Boundless passed through the year change without a glitch. My computers are still
     up and running and it looks like all of my programs still function. So much for
     Y2K!
     
     It has been several weeks since my last log. We have passed through the holiday
     season and the new year but we are still in the Virgin Islands. Jaclyn, Stacy and her
     boyfriend Rob were all able to join us for Christmas. Stacy only had a week so she
     wasn't with us for the New Year. I actually think she was glad she only had a week
     to spend with us.  She and Rob passed their time with us like troopers but I think
     they are both landlubbers at heart. We welcomed in the New Year in the North
     Sound of Virgin Gorda, near The Bitter End. We had dinner and joined the party
     on Saba Rock. This used to be a beach bar with burgers and pizza. Now it is a full
     fledged resort. It uses every inch of a small island called Saba Rock. Just before
     midnight we went back to our boat. We had ringside seats to fireworks put on by
     the 3 cruise ships also in the harbor. The start of the fireworks was highlighted by
     all of the cruise ships blowing their horns along with anything else in the harbor
     that could make noise. These sounds along with the fireworks were impressive. 
     
     
     We are meeting cruisers on the way and are keeping in contact with a few of them
     thru the SSB or e-mail. We exchange  helpful hints on boating; where to go for
     BOAT PARTS AND REPAIRS, where are the best places to anchor,  best spots
     to snorkel, and most important we exchange where the best restaurants are and
     recipes!!
     
     Stacy brought ten weeks of TV video tapes that we are slowly going thru. We
     invite other cruisers over to watch TV with us.  It really is a treat when you haven't
     seen TV for three months!!(Did you know that one TV program is only 43 minutes
     long excluding commercials!!  A little useless tidbit from Faith!)
     
     Jaclyn is leaving today (1/14) first for NY and then San Francisco.  The past week
     she took surfing lessons.  She is now a California Surfing Girl with USVI
     experience going back to find a job and then to go back to school and to learn to
     surf on the California waves.
     
     We now have a week before Tom, Phyllis, Dave and Lorrayn are joining us.  Rudy
     and I are going to find a quiet spot to hide from some high winds heading our way
     and then do some work on the boat and go snorkeling. 
     
     The sunrises and sunsets have not been as great as they are in the summer. 
     However, the rainbows are gorgeous!  We see one at least every other day. 
     Sometimes they are doubled and one time they were tripled. This is a nice place to
     be! We are both very lucky to have the opportunity to make our voyage.
     
     We love you all!
     Calm seas and stay safe!
