Autumn Update

It is Indian Summer, and we are in the process of closing up our home in the beautiful mountainous and plan for our annual migratory trek to be on S/V Karma. It's been an adventurous Summer vagabonding around, tending to the Orchard, visiting family and friends out East and enjoying the east coast. You can catch a ray of our journey as we prepare to travel down the Cali Seaboard to be back in Guatemala! let the journey begin! ~~

Strange tropical fruit make me happy!

There is no end to exotic fruit in tropical Guatemala. From one day to the next the selection changes.  The nice thing about Guatemala is that Each time I go to town I'm surprised by something new! The other nice thing is that it's so cheap! Although they have fruit you'll recognize such as mango, pineapple, [...]

OMG! Naranja!!!!

They painted the boot stripe!

Wow, it's actually looking like we might get out of this boatyard. It's been a long 6 weeks since we came back from Mexico, expecting that the boat would be ready when we returned, then hearing 10 days, then another 10 days, then a more realistic 20 days (that will have turned into 30 by the time we launch).

It's not completely the boatyards fault; to be fair to them, the weather has been terrible this year for fibreglass and paint work. High humidity, afternoon storms, and rain on the horizon most days doesn't allow for jobs to be completed.

The boot stripe has taken almost a week. 4 days of preparation for what took the guys with the paint gun about 20 minutes to do.

It was exciting to watch the final coat go on.

Tomorrow we launch?
