We are almost ready!!

 We are getting excited about our trip and are fast and furiously getting the boat ready. Been busy checking out all the systems on the boat - AC/Refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, anchoring Along with servicing our dingy, repairing and adding new canvas and upgrading our navigation and radio equipment.  The boat is almost provisioned.  We have last minute food purchases to go.   The house is almost all buttoned down.  Down to the last few TO DOs.  Still hoping to leave next weekend.
