Anticipation
25 August 2011 | Cross Plains, WI
Once again, an entry of events long after the fact. We are home in Cross Plains, Wisconsin, and are beginning to feel the anticipation of our return to the boat in Cartagena, Colombia. For me, that will be in mid-October. Mary will join me in mid-November. Meanwhile, we are planning a September road trip to the northeast US and Canada to visit friends and to commemorate a similar honeymoon journey 46 years ago.
Now, back to the "sail" part of this blog. It took some time to get our new batteries delivered. So much so that we decided to postpone our return to the San Blas Islands of Panama. Instead, we were fortunate to join our Canadian friends on a journey to the famed coffee growing region near Pereira, Colombia. It was the highlight of our winter in Colombia. Soon afterward, we returned to Wisconsin where home improvement projects awaited us. However, the nation's economic outlook and its effect on our income meant that some of those projects will have to wait for better times.
If the next couple of months go according to plans, I'll be posting the next blog from Cartagena.
