The Grander Scheme: s/v Northern Symphony

Another simple dream...Another crazy notion: To make a sequel to our Grand Scheme by making an extended great loop starting from our home in Nova Scotia. One boat, two so-called adults, one or two children, and one cat.

Stages 1-3 are complete. Stage 1: We got Symphony to Norfolk, VA. Stage 2: We resurrected our car, sorted everything in it and on Symphony, shifted things around, and prepared Symphony to stand idle. Stage 3: We drove 1400 miles in three days, thus returning to Minnesota to begin the sorting and packing.

Stage 4, sorting and packing the stuff in our house was supposed to take a week before the movers showed up to load everything and haul it away...note the key word: supposed. Yesterday morning, as we had breakfast in Madison, WI. We got a phone call from the movers: They'll be loading on Saturday! We have 2 days to sort and pack the whole house! Aaaauuuggghhh! Okay, panic is now authorized...But hey, if we can live on a sailboat and cruise 6000 miles in a year, how bad can this be? The adventure continues...
