One More Week....I think we are ready!
Some last minute preparations are underway....and one major undertaking in the galley and we are on our way.
A new Gas stove (with propane coversion kit) has been ordered and it will be arriving this week to be installed while we are away. Good to have a Handy Captain on board! Our boat will be fueled to the brim this weekend with water, booze, fuel and food (it appears that the list is in the appropriate order of importance) I know what you are thinking....why is water in the #1 position.....Ice!
The motorbike has been loaded on the back of the boat and is ready to traverse all those abandoned logging roads that we will see up and down the coast. The dinghy is ready and with luck, we will have a kayak that I will learn to drive while we are away. Since my last blog, I have taken up crocheting so if our boat is covered in doilies when we get back, I will be to blame.
The weather is very cold right now, but we don't care. It will eventually quit being windy and rainy and yes even snowy - we both have good raingear and boots and a closet full of fleeces and sweat shirts.
The reality is setting in and we are starting to get quite excited. Stay tuned for photographs of our first week away starting next Wednesday.
Our ongoing adventures of cruising up and down our beautiful coast - delicious, breath-taking scenery with some unforgettable characters and adventures that make you want to buy a boat!
