Everything Seems To Be On Track

There hasn't been much change in our plans in the past week. Well, that isn't quite accurate, since it's been on, then off, then on again. But our schedule remains the same in the end. We will be in Connecticut July 24th thru the 7th of August, conducting the survey and sea trials, then back to Arizona to tie up loose ends and get together with our friends here for "Bon Voyage" festivities.

Then comes the long trip across country with the "stuff" that we think we cannot live aboard without. It sure looks like a big pile in the garage. We might have to winnow it down some more...

My sister, Zayne MacFarlane, lives in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and has graciously offered to let us stay in her guest room until the boat is ready for us. (At least, there wasn't too much arm-twisting involved.) Ridgefield is about a 45-minute drive from Stratford, where the boat is currently located. That really will be convenient during the interim before we finalize our purchase. By the time we arrive in CT, the boat will most likely be moved to Norwalk for bottom-painting and commissioning.

I'm pooped, hungry, and ready to get to bed!
