Getting ready to leave

We have been working on Inspiration almost daily since this past Thanksgiving. We painted the bottoms of the hulls, added a lot of new equipment & did a LOT of general maintenance. We are in the final (?) stages of outfitting & provisioning the boat. Our plans are to move the boat to Miami in the next few days, wait for good weather to cross the Gulf Stream & then head to Bimini. After clearing into the Bahamas @ Bimini, we're heading for the Berry Island chain to spend some time decompressing from civilization. Then to Nassau to resupply as necessary & then to the Exumas.
This blog is sparse as we are focused on the boat & outfitting. Imagine taking everything you own & deciding what you needed for the next 2 years. Then imagine that you have a SMALL wardrobe in which to store everything you want to bring. Then imagine trying to stock food for that journey...
I'll post more as I can (:
