Better together!

I am tearful as I write this, but it's a mix of happy and sad, and that's not all bad!
We have decided to return to the States for a while so that Nev can be more involved in the daily business of Volutone. He's been home a week already, attended lots of meetings, and is excited about the company and the plans they have for the next year.
We looked at all our options for continued travel and BLUE, but came to the conclusion we're all just better together! So we're going to ship BLUE home to Oxnard, Ca, and continue to live aboard, hoping to keep some semblance of this simple life that we have grown to love so.
YachtPath has a scheduled pick-up from Golfito in the first week of March and we are booked to have BLUE loaded up then... we're not sure if I'll continue to stay down here until then or go home... we miss each other lots... we've been together 24/7 for a long time, and it has been fabulous! Sometimes we'd say "Well, if this is as far as we get, it would still have been worth every minute", and it has been glorious.
We want to continue this gypsy life to some extent, so we're looking to buy an old VW van that we can convert for weekend travels. With BLUE we'll continue to explore the California coastline... and, of course, we'll be close to our kids and our family and friends, and that is good!
We think we're pretty lucky fish!
(PS We're going to continue the blog... there is still so much ahead of us!!)
