Two weeks to go

California rain
Hola Amigos,
Well, we shove off in 2 weeks. We are not quite sure why we have to work so hard and be so stressed for a trip that we were already to do a year ago. We look like wimps compared to the couple on our dock. They are planning on doing the Baja Ha-Ha and later doing the "Puddle Jump" ( the 3000 mile trip to French Polynesia). While we are doing laundry and cleaning the boat, they are installing: wind vane autopilot, water maker, Single sideband long distant radio, solar panels and so much more. They look cool as a cucumber and we are running out of paper to make lists.
Here is out tentative schedule. The dates can vary depending on weather and whims. We added up the mileage and it came to 1002 nautical miles. That is the rhumb line (straight distance) and you never go straight on a boat.

As you can tell we don't have copy and paste down. We had too little paste on the paper and too much on our face. Hope you kind of got our dates down.
Happy trips to you until we try to paste again,
