We now have a pickup date for the boat. It will be loaded onto a truck in Bellingham on February 6th and will arrive in San Diego on February 9th!

That means that we are a little later than our original plan, but seeing as there is no timeline here, really it’s okay. It will give us a few more days at home with our families and make the work getting the boat ready that much easier.

Our final list includes getting the new batteries, solar panels, and installing two new thruhulls for the sink drains. Aside from that anything else can happen along the way. The lazarette seats should be complete by next week (we had them made out of plastic sheeting).

Well. Onward!!! We will be off soon,
