In what has been a not very well kept secret (except at work), Rina and I are cleared for departure. As all who head south know, the to-do list is massive, and we have been diligently knocking the list down over the past months. On the big project plan google sheet we have 95 major items complete, deferred 6 and have 15 left before we leave on the 30th. Add to that weekly lists of smaller items that keep popping up, as evidenced by the picture above.

We have been watching the waterline carefully and so far, she's not dropped too far. If anything we have better balanced the load, with the port hull now at the same level as the stbd one.

All the major maintenance items are done, sea tested everything we can think of and our last spares should arrive this week.

Now it's time to start watching the weather and get pumped up!
