What a wonderful experience this must be. Wish I had the luxury of affording to take the time off from work to do something similar while my body still allows me to do so. This morning it took my back about an hour to stop sending twitching and cramping signals down my leg and I wondered if I would ever take on a trip like you are on, knowing that this could happen, or worse, while at sea.

From what I have read, it seems you have not (yet) encountered real stormy conditions, other than brisk winds and/or heavy downpours. On the one end I wish you did, so you could write about the experience, but on the other end I hope you don't and arrive back here safe and sound.

It will be quite a change - once you are back - to re-settle for day trips and the occasional coastal venture. I remember when I had my small daysailer it was always an adjustment to go back to the lake after spending a week on the Chesapeake,,,

Best of luck to you, Randall, and thatnks so much for letting us travel along in spirit.
