On week to go

Friday has arrived so that means we have just one week to go. The last two days have been very busy ones with my final doctor's appointment, yes I am well and can go, several trips to the storage unit, and the most important trip to Bev Mo! The wine in Mexico just can not compare to our local ones.

Tonight I am having a small party to celebrate Rog's birthday. I want to have it tonight rather than the 9th to make sure there is no hangover on departure day. We learned last time that it is not a good way to start a trip. Seasick or hungover--not good on a boat.

So now back to what we have been doing to get ready. All the work clothes have been take off the boat and packed away at storage. The fun warm weather outfits are folded, rolled or hung up in every little nook and crany. Our aft cabin is just like the suitcase you take on vacation, I better not buy anything or I will be towing a barge back to San Francisco behind Di's Dream. Rog has a bit more work in this department but the plan is to have him attack his closet Sunday. He has been very busy putting on the jack lines, the extra fuel cans, changing out the E120 Chartplotter for a new one and just generally making sure the boat is ready.

Just one more week and we will be underway!!
