Looking Back

Miles Traveled in 2008: 623
Miles Traveled since leaving home May 2007: 1859

A year ago at this time, Dave and I were frantically trying to get ready to leave 'any day now'.

- The 'Sherry Beckett Regatta' was on March 11
- Sherry's last day at work at Globe Wireless was March 16
- Dave and Sherry got married on March 24
- Soggy Paws was hauled out at Cape Marina the first 2 weeks of March
- We were having yard sales to get rid of furniture and misc boat stuff

Our 'To Do' list was still a hundred miles long, and we were working on our list til close to midnight every night.

By the end of March, we were already being asked "Are you guys still here?"

We did manage to make the break in late May. Dave and I managed to keep smiling through all the turmoil of getting ready to go. We have now been traveling together for 10 months and about 2,000 miles, and still feel like we are on our honeymoon.

We still have a 'To Do' list, but are less stressed about knocking items off the list. We're getting a full night's sleep every night. Since this leg of our voyage has been retracing our steps from past voyages, the last year has been relatively worry-free. The pace of our lives is very agreeable these days.

  1. Hola you two,
    This is a nice posting - it gives a good over all summary and perspective - nice idea - suggest you include over the years as you move west.
    Cheers,
