Hi, all.
We are counting down about two weeks to casting off for a 4-week cruise to the lower FL Keys and (hopefully) the Dry Tortugas. Those who would like to follow along can check our blog periodically: [url]http://www.sailblogs.com/member/diva-di/[/url]
Since we are "anchor out" folk, it is hard to say how often we will have wi-fi access to post to the blog, but we will surely try.
At the request of fellow C36er, Mike on Caprice, I have already started posting some preparation info. As he points out, it is sometimes interesting to read how others get ready.

Ahoy, all! We departed 28 May and are now in Marathon, FL Keys. Check out the blog if you like.
I don't see the JibSheet posted yet, but maybe when I check email, I will learn something.

Duane, saw your blog, good reading. The wind seems not in a mood to help you out, hopefully that will change and you'll get more sail/less motor. Regardless, enjoy!
Thanks, Bud.
We shortened the cruise to 17 days, but we're home and the blog has been updated. See first post of this thread.
