Less than 3 hours to the New Year - 2008. This is it. This will be THE year of "Sandy's Great Adventure". After all the years of talking a good story it looks like it is finally going to happen. Hard to believe the dream is really, truly going to happen. Five months until I'm retired. Seven months until Patty & I take Faith north for the shakedown. Eight months until we cross the bar and turn left on our way to Mexico via the 15th Annual Baja Ha Ha. So much to do between now and then. So much to learn. I love the boat and have every confidence in her abilities. I know we will have the time of our lives!
