A lot has happened in the last few months! Both of us have been working full time, I’m done now (working for money) and Tanya has a few weeks left. We sold my car yesterday which is a huge step toward our goal. We’ll keep one car for our inevitable return. The boat is coming along nicely, mainly small projects, engine and generator maintenance, refinishing interior wood, new head, some wiring, upgrading, and reinstalling things that I removed earlier. Over the past few months we have been purchasing spare parts and non-perishables. I think we have our 90% solution and if we don’t, too bad we’ll figure it out on the way!
We are planning to depart first week of November!
Nothing exciting but here are some pics…
We purchased some additional fridge space to keep drinks and high use items. So far we are very happy with this unit:
We rebuilt our last head several times and each time it failed quicker than the last so we opted to replace it:
I finally figured out how to get GPS signal into the VHF and SSB radios. In the event we ever need to hit the “red button” the receiving station should have our GPS coordinates, which should expedite a rescue effort. Let’s hope we never have to use that feature!
I changed the impellers on the engine and generator with our new removal tool. The tool works perfectly and both impellers slid right out!
Our brick of a hand held radio failed so we bought a new floating radio, very nice! 
Still refinishing wood:
We have tons of spare parts, this is just a drop in the bucket. I also got extra watermaker motor and pump, consumables, alternator and starter…list goes on. I think we are set.
…and this guy has taken up residence, an indicator that we have been tied up too long!
Time to get outa here!!!
Looking good! And can’t wait to see you both again in person. Hugs.
