Three - four weeks and we're out of here!

Woo-hoo! Phil's doctor gave him the green light on Tuesday.  So everything is in high gear getting ready to leave asap in November.  Depending on the weather it could be any time after the 2nd. 

We haven't really hooked up with anybody as traveling partners yet. It would have to be another sail boat or at least a slow trawler for us to travel together...no other boats go that slow. 

Since there is no itinerary we can't say where we'll be on any given day.  If we find a spot we like we'll stay for a few days before moving on. Our goal is to be in Marathon, FL by Christmas.  And yes, we have our lights to decorate the boat.

As things may get a little hectic between now and sailing time we may not post again until we're under way but we will catch up at our first stop with wi-fi.

Life is good.

Six Weeks and Counting

It's almost the end of September and we're getting a little anxious to be on our way. But the boat's not ready, we're not ready and the doctor hasn't given Phil the go-ahead.  Should know sometime next month if indeed we are going to go to the Old Farts Camp Out in Marathon, Fl this winter.  We're preparing as if it's a done deal.  Numerous lists of things to do, things to take, places to anchor out, marinas on our route, etc.  Phil has been charting the course for months now; not sure exactly where he is on that. 

We promise to keep you updated as departure time draws near and as often as we find wi-fi hot spots while  enroute.

Happy sailing!!
