I have got to say that when we get this close to departure, while things are under control, it gets stressful. What have we forgotten? Will we have the weather window to get down the ICW without issue? Will Ti Amo perform as beautifully as she has before? All things we cannot control for sure, but somehow that stress just creeps in.

Saying goodbyes have been fun and memorable! From girls night out to evenings with friends to individual one on ones with sisters and friends, I have enjoyed them all.

We have just one week left and are buttoning things up at the house and finishing our last minute provisioning. We realize as we wait the leaves are changing and the temperatures are dropping which makes us anxious to get "on the road". There is one member of this crew that may not be as anxious.....and as you can see is not too stressed (at the moment).

Next week we will be off and hopefully on our way down the ICW!
