Countdown Continues
16 September 2013
T minus 4 weeks and counting:
Diana and I are still working on our “READY for DEPATURE” check list; another round of task have been checked off. Over a three day period, I picked up maintenance supplies and spare parts for the engine; Diana went through BELIEVES’s storage compartments removing extraneous items, most of which were food stuffs beyond their recommended use-by date; we also brought home bedding and clothing that will be added to this week’s laundry; and, Diana cleaned and oiled the interior’s wood surface while I finish coating selected exterior surfaces with nonskid paint. There are still a few tasks to be done before we start loading for the trip, but I predict most of our supplies will be aboard by this time next week.
