Moving toward Christmas
29 November 2009
Ray here...
Still floating...we got to spend Thanksgiving with Daughter Willow, Granddaughter Jillian and S-I-L James...and an awesome feast it was! Even the dogs made out!
Everything timed out well...Thanksgiving dinner, getting to see other daughter Shannon and other S-I-L David who was home on leave from Kuait! Got some Christmas shopping done, Sandy stayed on to watch Jillian and I was taken to the airport for a trip to San Diego and Cruise to Mexico.
Our goal is to take this break (which included a sanity break from each other) and to come back and get things rolling with the boat. Our schedule for the rest of winter is intense with changing out the fuel tank (finally), hooking up the watermaker, wind generator, and monitor windvane (self-steering device)....oh and get a lot of sailing (especially storm sailing) done. So it goes...but things'll have to wait until after the new year, as we get to have Jillian abard for a week or so upon my return from Mexico...busy busy busy!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season from both of us!
