Pat and Collen DeGroodt    2004 Commodore's Award

2-22-2003 - Hello to all our friends at SCOA! We are officially circumnavigators and so is our SC35 Simmer! We crossed our outbound path at Lat 20.59.6'N/Lon 73.51.2'W (that's in the Bahamas just west of Samana Cay) on 13 February 2003. It's been four years and 2 weeks since we left Georgetown, Bahamas. It feels a little strange to be returning to familiar anchorages again."  -- Pat & Colleen Degroodt
