First Day of Fall 2010. Beautiful Sunny Skies but we know the rain will come soon. Decided to stay home this year until after Christmas, our little Grandson Jack started Kindergarten and we promised him we would be here for his first Christmas Concert. Josh has just entered grade 5 and is growing up fast. Would love it if we could make sailors out of them. Will try to keep our Blog up to date a little better this season.

Heading South

Where did the summer go. We are getting our bags packed, not clothes, but boat parts, of course. We left Waatea safely tied to the docks in Marina Mazatlan last May and after enjoying a spectacular summer, it is time to head south again. Very sad to be leaving our boys knowing we will not see them again for 7 or 8 months, thank goodness for Skype. The mountains have that white dusting , so it is time. We fly in on the 14th, will update later.
Vessel Name: Waatea
Vessel Make/Model: Dehler
Crew: BJ Porter
About: Took early retirement from Bank of Montreal after 37 years, have been planning this trip for several years.
Extra: Jim is the Captain, after watching all the boaters leave the marina while he had to stay back and slave away, his turn came and away we go.
