Two weeks to go....

In two more weeks, we start phase II of our trip down the west coast. This time, I will be crewed with Rob, my brother and Henri Soulodrie. Bonnie won't make this trip as she has to work, others who were offered will be sitting back in the snow regretting missing this opportunity. Not to worry, there will be more chances in the future.... but two cold beers on a hot day beats hot rum toddys on a cold day every time.
At this time, the plan is to meet in Ensenada, reprovision, and clean up the boat, then head south to Cabo. Depending on the time frame when we get there, we will cross over to Mazatlan or go north to La Paz.
The biggest problem that I find having a long distance relationship with an older boat is that I am constantly thinking of things to upgrade or repair. Not a problem in itself, but transporting all these items to the boat is the issue. As examples, I picked up a SSB radio (heavy) new fuel bladder (Bulky), and a whisker pole (long). Those are just a few of the items. I'm sure Air Canada is going to be impressed when I go through check in....
