2 More Sleeps

It is the evening of June 8. Two more sleeps to go. We are very excited but extremely tired. We have both been busy at work. I am feeling unwell; stuffy sinus, sore throat and general malaise. No time to rest. Tonight is our first blog posting, laundry needed doing and so on.

Date of departure is June 10 - after work. The forecase is for 35 knots of wind. For you land lubbers, just multiply by 2, it is close enough, and you will get kmh. That's right - 70 kmh!

To refresh your memories, Ron and I, along with our salty cocker Winston, set out last September. As Mother Nature calls the shots, she decided to be a real bee-otch. Gale force winds from Port Hardy onwards. This year, we hope and pray that she will be a little more gentle with us and complete our mission.

There are two other boats that will be heading around the island near the same time as us. It is very likely that we will meet up at some point.

Time to say good night. Stay tuned!
