Cast Off Tomorrow!

Forecast tomorrow looks like patchy low clouds and fog tomorrow morning. If it was like this morning, the visibility will be pretty good below the fog. We'll have to see, but are still planning on leaving between 7:30-8:00 (probably closer to 8:00ish). Will post again tomorrow morning.

48 Hours and Counting

After numerous trips home and back to the boat, we are loaded to the gills! We have spent the last couple of days stowing all the stuff! What a job. Russ and I are closing in on all of the projects that will allow us to cast off. We still plan to leave on Saturday even though our refrigeration/freezer system are not installed. The refrigeration folks will be driving down to Ventura and installing while we are attending our son's wedding. I will be doing final provisioning with lots of canned goods and non-refrigerated packages. We still have our teeny-weeny icebox which we will use for most critical foods. A lot of projects will continue as we sail and probably for the next six months!

We are taking our general ham license tomorrow. I think we are ready. Final chores on Friday and final BYC bar-b-que, then off on Saturday morning. Slack at the "Gate" is 8:49. Looks like the weather will be ok. Not sure about the fog though. We plan to leave Emeryville between 7:30 and 8:00. Remember the Bay Bridge is closed this weekend for any of you who are planning to wave goodbye. Garyn and Jessica will be accompanying us to Half Moon Bay, pick up their car and head back to Emeryville where they will pickup our car and ferry back home for safe keeping until we return.

Got to go! Still lots to do. But it's looking good for Saturday! We will confirm Friday night and again on Saturday morning. Stay tuned to the blogspot.
