Packed & Ready...pending weather expected ETD Monday

Pretty remarkable...essentials(Leslie's) for 6 months...can always contribute to the local economy if more is needed or desired.  It all fits in 3 drawers.  Must admit a few more items might be added while awaiting departure.  

A happy captain...

Sea trial....

Today, we actually tossed the dock lines and headed out on a sea trial testing all systems and our sea legs. Had a wonderful sail out the channel then over to Mariner's Cove. We'll be testing the Hydrovane when we sail back tomorrow. While many necessities are in place, each of our To Do Lists are getting additions. Looking forward to another wonderful sail tomorrow then back to work finalizing boat & house preps. Stay tuned for departure date later this week....

Practice Post via email....

In preparation for the trip, this is a test of email delivery vs posting.

Rocinante almost ready to cast off....stay tuned.

Family helping...

Dad, Scott, and Susan were in town hoping to wish us a Bon Voyage as we cast off....delays due to insurance changed that plan but there was plenty to do to help.

Sorting &  inventorying provisions...

Minimizing packaging...

Susan, the food saving expert...

Teamwork....
