Hi Everyone,

After arriving here Sunday, I've spent every bit of daylight recommissioning Kristinly and will launch her tomorrow around noon. Assuming all goes well, I will be on the hook tomorrow night in Florida, via the ICW, probably somewhere around Fernandina Beach. These updates will also appear on my Facebook profile.

Nikki is flying into Fort Lauderdale the 24th and I will pick her up there. We are hoping for a good weather window and if we get it, we will head for the Abacos, the northern island in the Bahamas. If not, we will make for Key West. Nikki has 12 days off and after she returns home, I will make a bee-line for Vermont. My uncle Dave is flying into Jacksonville, FL March 13 and plans to sail north with me for a week or two. I expect the weather will be the deciding factor there. He is from California.

I am heading north early in order to do the final launch of a new business I am starting and plan to be there the first week in April. The name of the business is Champlain Blasting Solutions, and no, it does not involve dynamite. Think sand blasting ...

I will update here when I can.
