Pasadena, United States


DoD (date of departure, not department of defense) is coming up really soon, in about 2.5 weeks actually.
Hans is training for a boat maintenance and project marathon, steadily working his way through the lists of jobs that need to be completed before DoD. Unfortunately, I'm not around to help out since I was in Ecuador for a week for Cristina and Jim's wedding, now I'm in Vt. to meet my new nephew Chase, on Sunday I fly to England for a funeral. Yep, I'm hitting all the momentous life events in the course of 3 weeks.
Today Hans installed the new windvane--now we just need to learn how to use it! The lists are divided into 3 types: immediate, before we leave, top priority; medium priority, would be nice to have done before we leave but won't keep the anchor in the mud; and low priority, should get done sometime going down the ICW. I know that my first job when I get back to Whisper, which I've been promising to do for awhile, is to clean off Boris the engine.
Hans will be pretty cold tomorrow, since a strong cold front will be moving through the region dropping the temperatures to the 30s. Probably rough wind will accompany the cold weather.
