The Adventure Begins
08 March 2009 | St. Joseph Island
Tomorrow morning we leave for Florida and the adventure begins. After a year of challenges - job changes, faltering economy, falling CDN dollar - we're finally ready to launch Drifter's Wind and sail away.
With the value of the CDN dollar eroding we're taking more than we originally planned and have had to buy a small trailer to accommodate it all. But our shopping list is near complete with new dinghy, outboard motor, generator, charts and books, and a myriad of personal and boat equipment accumulating in our family room.
Hopefully we will have a trouble - free border crossing and be south bound and looking at a 24 hour trip to warmer climes.
To family and friends - thanks for the help and encouragement. Over the next three months, we invite you to join us here for frequent updates.
