So what's new? The list of to-do's entitled Unfinished Things That We Will Leave and Do In Mexico got too big, so, change of plans. We finally admitted to ourselves that we won't be ready enough to leave for offshore this year though we sure tried hard. But after the discouragement of the fact, we are now looking forward to the delay because we live in some of the best cruising areas of the world and it would have been a shame to not experience it. And more importantly, we will be able to give our boat several test runs to get the bugs out before heading offshore.
Our new plan now consists of finishing the boat, taking a much deserved holiday, and then moving aboard. Next year, we would like to cruise around the Queen Charlotte Islands and/or circumnavigate Vancouver Island before heading offshore in the fall.
