17-JAN-2008

January 17, 2008

Shibumi sat idle all Summer and Fall. It is time to start preparing her for a springtime voyage.

Jamie had to bring in heavy hardware to change the packing around the propeller shaft's stuffing box. It would have taken me all day to do that. He made the job look easy.

Our plan is to sail Shibumi to the Florida Keys and maybe the Abacos in late March.

Nicely captured Dave. As you know it's the journey, not the destination. And part of the journey is the preparation... :-)

Let me know the exact date of departure. I travel light, you'll hardly notice me. And I can cook!
