Pulled Tradewinds on Thursday, my good friend Evan and I did some minor fiberglass repair, sent the prop to the prop shop for a computer check of its alignment. The bottom is sanded and today we put a coat of bottom paint on her.

Nancy, we sure will miss you. Safe boating. Ron says he hasn't heard from Elsie yet.
God be with you.

So------- We are down to the last 3 weeks before take off. :) It comes down to what we think we have to get accomplished & what we really will get finished. Pretty much on track tho. Tradewinds gets pulled this week to get a bottom job & check prop, hull etc. After that it is provisioning & packing her up. It is like - really? WOW! It really is coming together.

Fernando has been working on pumps. How many more pumps are there on a boat anyhow?

We have all of our Flags, charts, & cruising guides. The list is definitely getting smaller. But - if you know me, I just make another list.

Took the dingy out today. It seems to be ok. Maybe a little maintenance before we leave. Engines running good. Still have to give it a name. The last one, Bob, did it's last tour of duty in The Bahamas. This one is larger & more comfortable.

The photo is of Fernando & Bob in The Bahamas. Hope Town to be exact.
