I have finally gotten around to starting a Facebook page and am figuring out how different it is from the blog. I think this continues to be the place for longer stories of our adventures! If you reach the blog and can't get in, please give me an email and I'll get you all set up. Because of the big gaps in time, you've probably forgotten all about how to do it!

So, Mike and I are just about to start our Florida-Bahamas-East Coast year on Finisterre. Mike leaves Saturday to work on the boat and then comes back in two weeks for a few days. Then, by the 23'rd of November, we will both be on Finisterre in Fernandina, Florida and the boat will be in the marina, and close to being ready to go. Close, but probably not completely! From past experience, I know just putting everything away and assessing what's missing, going to get that and all the provisions is a big process. I think we should start out with just doing part of the provisioning as we'll be in Florida through the holidays and Hilary wll come visit with Joe for Christmas. Maybe we'll be in the Keys then.

Well, I did not continue the story. Got busy with the rest of chemo and other things. The guys did deliver the boat all the way to Florida and managed to get through some storms and wild sailing. And now it's time for Mike and I to return to Finisterre for new adventures.
