We were delayed by a few issues this week but they are worked out now. The weather is looking good for a Saturday departure. According to sailing lore it's bad luck to begin a sailing journey on a Friday.
We managed to fit almost everything on the boat from the storage unit and the van. We sold one car and will sell Al's van Friday. All that's left to do is shop for food but we won't have to buy much thankfully! Fran's mom has been cooking food for the journey and helping us stock the freezer. Matt and Debbie came by last night and gave us vegetables from their garden. We also had so many friends who didn't want us to go thirsty we won't have to buy much to drink!
It's still hard to believe that we are actually going but I do believe it will happen...soon!

I am so excited for you! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteFrances and Al,
ReplyDeleteYour empty slip looks good.
Congratulations on the launch. You both seemed completel at ease yesterday, and the conditions were ideal for the start to your cruising life.
Enjoy!
