A date has been set.. We could have left today, 1/22, but still a few loose ends to take care of and another system of weather is coming to SD, (Thursday), so we are at the Custom's Dock at the end of Shelter Is. until Sun. am. We could leave Sat. am or Sun, am, but will check the weather window to see which would be best. Yep..it's a happening thing... YEAH! (I think !) Plans are to head straight to Cabo San Lucas to check into Mexico, straight bee-line (rhumb line) from the Coronados to the major capes off Baja. Will check in when we stop at Cabo with pics and story Sending love to all friends and family. Jean & Robin... read more

Yep, we are still in a holding pattern. We have all the parts for the wind generator, and now we are waiting for the weather to clear to install it. We are hoping for an exit date real soon now and will notify you all about the day. Been buying extra T.P. so I won't have to delve into my "stash". Keep thinking of more "things" I may need to buy that I won't find outside the U.S. but basically we just need to "git going" soon. Stay dry eveyone and keep smiling. Jean & Robin... read more

Hello to all our friends and family. Just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for coming to our little Bon Voyage get together. We were thrilled to see you all and quite surprised to receive all those awesome gifts. That was totally unplanned for, but we do appreciate it, and those yummy chocolates Roxanne and Charles brought went down the hatch in the next couple days... yum! yum! The dog , Ollie, has been adopted by Chelsea and Jay and is heading north to Monterrey as we do final preparations to head south. Last big project is an installation of a wind generator. Hopefully that will happen here within a week or so. I have been buying goods for the boat for a while now, and still have more to bring aboard. Our ... read more
