Still Getting Ready

We finally got our FM3 Visa's for Mexico! What a process that was, but now we have them and can legally stay in Mexico for up to one year instead of the 180 days allowed under a Tourist Card. (We can renew them for up to five years.)
Jeff is working on the dredge, and will be until just three days before we leave, so the process of packing and making sure everything is done on the home front is mine. I've spent hours on our Master Inventory List. It includes most of what we have on the boat, everything in the Marina Seca storage shed, and everything we will bring with us this trip. The Excel spreadsheet is up to 700 lines now. I learned the hard way to back up to an external hard drive every time I change the data!
It's only 7pm and already dark here in Portland. Where did the summer go?
More things crossed off the to-do list and, thankfully, we're down to just a few more things on the buy list. I feel better.....
