With just a few days to go, we are eager to resume our adventure.

I was called back to work part-time for my former employer when they needed me in a pinch. With no boat here and all my home projects caught up, it worked out well for both parties and we have a little extra money in the so-called Cruising Kitty.

The only thing that we know might be a problem is a late departure from the boatyard. The wet and cold early spring put them quite behind in their schedule. I have to assume they will do the best they can for us and we'll adjust as needed.
