We are a month out, now.   Airline tickets have been purchased, plans made, and bags are semi-packed.   The last month has been spent going over lists, organizing, planning, purchasing necessary items,  and worrying about what we are forgetting.  Which will undoubtedly be plenty.

And, there's still plenty of work to be done on the boat.  In fact, I'm guessing several weeks will be spent putting things together on the boat before we actually cast off the lines and head off toward the Bahamas.  But that's all ok.  It's all part of the process, and we are doing our best to remember that all this planning and prep is part of the journey.

We'll be monitoring our email and will write back as often as local wifi makes it possible.

I've been transferring our original 1994 cruising log/newsletters to this blog bit by bit over the past few weeks.  You can find the logs in the tabs at the top of this page.  I've been rummaging through our picture archives as well, and am adding photos to the log. (Keep checking back as I continue to add more pictures to the log pages.)  I'm kinda digging the vintage look of the old photos, especially since that faded, scratched look is so "in" right now.  But, no Photoshop action here...the look has been achieved through honest-to-god aging.  Here's a few samples:
